James Burrows Look Up Please

[Littlemo]

Could anyone very kindly see if they can find James Burrows whose job is listed on his Son William's Marriage Certificate as a Miner? As William was born in 1871 in Abram, I really need a look up for James in 1861/71/81/or 1891 in the Abram/Wigan/Lancashire area William was married in 1889 and his father James isn't listed as deceased so he must have been alive then, or would he?

Hi Mo,

Just to make sure I'm on the right track, did he marry Mary Jane Hodkinson in Leigh, Lancs. o/n/d 1889.
And living with the Haslam family in 1891, with his daughter Sarah b.1890. Leigh.

Not sure if this is helpful or not.

There is a William Burrows in the Leigh Union Workhouse in 1881, with 2 possible siblings...Albert. 8 and Aldred.6. (as transcribed). all born Leigh.

There is also a tree on the 'A' site, that seems to give his mothers name as Esther.

There is also a marriage in j/a/s 1870. Leigh, Lancs for a James Burrows and an Esther Taylor.

I'll just chuck this at you, and see what you think.

Steve, You are a wonderful man:kissu: Thank You.
The James and Esther Burrowes in 1871 fit in perfectly, because as I said William was born in Abram in 1871. And if James's Mother was called Sarah, that would be who my Gran Sarah was named after. It's a bit of a weird situation this is. I never knew my Gran Sarah, she died long before I was born. But I do remember my Great Grandparents, William who died in 1951 aged80 and Sarah Jane who died in 1953 aged 85. I remember going to their house for tea every Sunday and there was always a jug of Celery on the tablecloth along with a huge homemade Singing Lily Sarah Jane was a tiny bird like wizened old lady, I can't imagine her having given birth to 9 children
But what about the Workhouse lot Steve, do you think they are mine or what? Actually, the Workhouse connection should be easy to get information on at Leigh Library,so maybe it's a bit of Carwork not Legwork I need now Steve, and Thank You so much for all your help:kissu:
