	Do you have a birth cert for one of William's children from his first marriage for the name of mother?

	In 1891 William is at 12 King St., Melton Mowbray. He was 33, born Nottingham, general dealer. Is this him in 1881? 18 White St., Nottingham Age 27, born Nottingham, mason's labourer Married to Elizabeth with children William 3 and Elizabeth 1. (Don't think so?)

Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 13 Send Message	I know which makes me think he has lied on the 1891 and 1901 census as well as his marriage cert his age on his cert to Annie says 29

Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 13 Send Message	It says F.W.K which I presume is Frame Work Knitter

	Something doesn't add up here. If William was born 1858, he would only have been 13 in 1871.

Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 13 Send Message	They had 2 Harriets one born 1884 who died then another in 1886

	What was gg grandfather's occupation on the marriage of g grandfather to Elizabeth Kirk? Was he still a framework knitter?
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 23,482 Send Message	MargaretM	Report	28 Nov 2008 14:58
	William Burrows didn't marry Annie Caunt until 1889 so William & Annie are definitely his from previous marriage but what about Harriet who was born 1887?

Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 13 Send Message	Hi Margaret Yes we think he was married to an Elizabeth Kirk they married 16th Oct 1871 but in the age it says full age which doesn't help on birth dates I have found this a real challenge.
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 23,482 Send Message	MargaretM	Report	28 Nov 2008 14:38
	Your William must have been married previously? In 1891 son William is 13 but wife Annie only 23.

Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 13 Send Message	Hi Sue The genealogist found that the son William unmarried in the 1881 census living with his widowed father which wouldn't explain Williams son born 1878

	It certainly looks as if your family is William & Frances.
