1871 look up please BURTON **COMPLETED Thanks**

[patrish]

I,ve been looking for a birth of a Lydia circa 1840 in Derbyshire or Staffordshire, nothing posative.

On the 1841 cenus I did find a promising one, Lydia Adams but she can be found still living with her father in 1871, so not her 

Also I cant find a conclusive birth reg for the "son" William circa 1869 of course we are not sure which county he was born in.

The nearest I have found =

William Wright Burton Sept q. 1868 Sheffield 9c- 412  although no middle name is mentioned on the cenusus's 

William Burton June q 1871 Sheffield 9c -417  ages can be out a little on census's as we all know .

His birth is the key to finding out who Lydia was, if she was his mother

There is a birth

Mar 1869  for William Burton born Ecclesall Yorkshire

in later census he is married a Christine and all their children are born Alton Staffordshire

You are right there is,

Good find.... as I thinks that vital

I searched under just  Sheffield as per the census , not Yorkshire

Can we approach this from another angle perhaps?

Where does William fit into your FH?

Are you descended from one of his children?  If so - who did William marry & when?

You mentioned in an earlier reply that you don't have a copy of his marriage cert so the info that John is his father seems to be based solely on the 1891 entry.

Whilst I am not saying that John isn't his father - there is always the chance that the enumerator made that assumption.  It just seems odd that he is with his grandparents in 1871 and 1881 but no sign of parents

I really think you need to see the marriage cert to ensure we are on the right track
