Nottinghamshire / Re: Burton from Sutton-in-Ashfield
« on: Wednesday 23 October 13 14:12 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Postheath that seems to be about right, I need this letter from my aunt though, as my memory seems to think that the children stayed elsewhere when father moved.  I may well be wrong and it might be a different generation.  Once I get a copy I'll let you know that one.

That's the one I was making reference to, though I didn't think we were sure if that wasn't senior or junior.

We know from another thread about the Burton's that Joshua snr, and this family loved naming children after each other which makes it confusing, married a woman called Elizabeth, however I doubt this is the one and the same.   Now Snr, had 3 children, 2 daughters and a son (Joshua jnr), and as neither daughter was called Elizabeth, I'm going to hazard a guess that Joshua jnr, who was born in 1775, was Elizabeth's dad.  I haven't got the information at hand, as to whom he married or perhaps someone else might.

Thank you Postheath for the further information, indeed it came as I was on the phone to my aunt in Canada.  I am hoping that my aunt can find what we know of the Burton family, and send it on to me.  I failed to pick up that branch of our tree whilst out in Canada this summer. 

We have still failed to find any further information with regard Joshua Burton snr.  I think some research in Bramley/Leeds might be necessary to find further information out.  I will also ask my aunt for a copy of the letter previously mentioned.

Family History Beginners Board / Marriages of John William Crane Willey of Glossop
« on: Friday 28 June 13 00:51 BST (UK)  »
Whilst trying to assist my aunt in completing some of our family tree, I've seem to have hit a bit of a wall.  My Great, Great,Great,Great Grand father John William Crane Willey of Glossop, married twice.

His first wife Jane to whom he married in 1856, died not long after in 1859.  Whilst his second marriage to Mary Ann took place in 1861.  I know the dates and I know when they died, however what I'm struggling with is the maiden names of both Jane and Mary Ann.  We just can't find either of the names.

It is with great interest that I respond to this thread of so long ago.  Whilst assisting my aunt yesterday in researching the surnames of one our family tree, we decided to look further back for any more information on another member of the tree, the Rev. Joshua Burton.  Indeed, my aunt has a letter, which references either Mary or Ann Burton as being the addressees grandmother, who during her younger years had seen John Wesley preach at about the time he created the Methodist Church. 

We sadly haven't been able to go any further back than the Burton's, but our branch of this family subsequently found it's way to Daventry, then to Glossop and finally to Salford in Greater Manchester.
