1871 look up please BURTON **COMPLETED Thanks**
« on: Friday 16 November 12 16:13 GMT (UK) »
Would someone please be kind enough to do a look up in the 1871 Census for a John BURTON born 1837 Alton.  I'm trying to find who his wife was - he appears married in 1881, but away from home, and is a widower by 1891.  Hopefully they should be together in 1871 - they had a son William BURTON, who was born in 1869, though gives his birthplace in later census as Sheffield, so it's possible the family could show up in the Sheffield area in 1871.

Many thanks

mmmm.... odd that he seems to have vapourised.  It's possible that maybe he was 'away' again somewhere out of Staffs and perhaps wasn't too specific about his POB?
Thanks for looking for me  :)
