Essex / Re: Harry Green who married Alice Beckett 1900

Thanks SS.
I wonder if the Greens were still at the same address when Harry died? Hopefully we shall find out when gracol receives that death certificate.

Speaking of Agnes Coxon, which we weren't, there could be a lady of that name on the same page as an Alice Green and a Harry Green on the 1931 electoral register, Robin Hood polling district of Nottingham.
Something to investigate?

So that's the family Cas found earlier in Reply #49 (sorry, Cas!) but maybe then James Burns senior wasn't Mary's brother, but her second husband? :-\
Possibly James Burns and Mary Smith nee Byrne/Burms not related, just a coincidence of names?

Struggling with them in 1881, but this could be them in 1891 in Manchester

From transcripts, hope they are right
James Burns 49, born Kildare Ireland
Mary Burns 49 Sligo Ireland
Annie Burns 10 Bradford nr Manchester
Catherine Burns 7 Bradford nr Manchester
James Burns 4 Bradford nr Manchester

Is Mary the mother of the three Smith children with the McAndrews in Bradford?

Yes, a great find, wilcoxon.
So now we know when John William died.

So if Margaret was illegitimate, then maybe the John Smith burial at Philips Park in 1872 is the right one. I would have thought that Mary would be buried there as well, probably in a common grave?

Speaking of Broughton!
Playing around with a godparent search again (despite myself!)
What is this all about? :-\
