Hello Jeremy
Sorry to take so long getting back to you. Got stuck with Thomas and left him for other things. Since your message have looked again at my Burtonshaw family to tidy it up.
Arthur Burtonshaw was my great grandfather, his eldest daughter Elizabeth Marjorie (always called Madge) was my grandmother. I have never heard of any family tree done by Arthur or anyone else. Have traced Thomas through his gas industry work, usually through the census returns and the places that his children were born, including a Coroner's report on the death of his son in law in a gas explosion at Bloxham (Oxon).
Will look again at the census return of him with the Jarvis family - cannot trace his parents, have you any ideas?

Thomas was also my gg grandfather, and I seem to be on a similar quest to you to trace the family history. Could you get in touch to see if we have information useful to each other.
On the "Stockport" entry - not aware that Thomas ever lived there, not out Thomas anyway, there were other Burtonshaw's around the Macclesfield area involved in hatting, which was also an industry in Stockport, so that Thomas may be connected to that.
There is a story in the family that Arthur Victor, one of Thomas's son's completed the family many many years ago - well that's the story from my father [Donald] (and originally from his father- William Thomas, Arthur's nephew and Thomas's grandson). I would like to get in touch with any descendants of Arthur to see if (a) it was true and (b) if so who has it!! - Would save us all a lot of effort!
Regards
Jeremy Burtonshaw (currently in South Cheshire)
