I have 2 problems with my g-g-grandfather Thomas Burtonshaw
Think he was born around 1836/37 as 25 in 1861 census and stays consistent throughout. In 1861 census he gives Ouston Lincs, 1881 he gives Owston Ferry Lincs, 1891 it's Stockport Lancashire and 1901 it's Stockport Cheshire. His father was William Burtonshaw, musical instrument maker. Can't seem to pin down a William and Thomas in 1841 or 51 as father and son.
The other problem is I can't find Thomas and wife Mary in 1871.
By this time they had the following children: Alice Ada; William; Emily; Thomas. Leila was born 1870 in London area and Laura 1872 in Leavesden Herts. Thought they would have been in one of these places but can't find them.
Any ideas very welcome, Thomas is driving me mad!
