Inverness / Re: Kenneth McLean who ended up in Loftus Yorkshire
« on: Sunday 16 April 17 21:15 BST (UK) »
Hello all
I came across this conversation by chance when searching for Loftus and I am now amazed at how much research has been done.
My great grandfather Newark Burton who died in 1939 at the age of 99 was born in Staithes lived in Saltburn (then under Marske) and was buried in Loftus. He married Annie McLean and his children were Donald McLean Burton- my grandfather, Annie, Kate, Isabel and Duncan. They were staunch Methodists so I havent found anything about them in parish registers, but I know Donald was born on the 28 Oct 1871. Strangely enough after he married they too lived in Middleton one Row before moving back to Saltburn. I have two photographs of Newark Burton as an old man, and also one I am fairly sure is Annie McLean.
I have assumed my Annie McLean is the one born to Kenneth McLean and Ann Best on the 17 July 1842 at Gallehow Loftus. If any one can confirm this and tell me how she fits into the bigger picture I would be very grateful.
