Hi

I am looking for someone on any census, not sure whether there surname is mispelt and perhaps this is why I cannot find them, her name is Caroline Burness (mum and dad are Jacob and Mary Burness) and have found her marriage cert to John Weston in 1842 but cannot find her under either name, Burness OR Weston

Any help would be great

Hi Astra

I have found some other children, siblings of Caroline - Henry (1826), Richard (1829), Mary (1818), Frances (1813), Charles (1815) and Maria Ann who is my great grandmother.

I have just tried to look for the 1841 census with the spelling of burniss but couldn't find it - can you tell me which site you found it on, as wanted to print the census for my records if poss

Thanks for eveyone looking

On Ancestry it is under Burnik

Thanks Astra - will have a look

Maureen - I have just found the marriage certificate for Caroline's 2nd marriage on Ancestry

Burniss spelling is on Find My Past.

I can not find Caroline on 1851 as Smith,nor the children under either name.

But good luck with following her forward as Smith..:))

Thanks Fanny, lol!! I think it might take me a while to find her as Smith although I can't moan as have had no common names like Jones, etc so far :))))

I think the reason why I can't find Caroline's siblings (apart from Maria Ann) on any census is because the spelling may have been transcribed incorrectly - that should make it fun to look for

xx

Thanks Astra, so Caroline had children with both husbands by the looks of things.

Maureen - TOP OF THE CLASS, I was dreading finding her as Smith, thanks xxxxxxx

Oh No Maureen - where has your post gone!!

OOPS! Sorry,Middy-
Astra posted the same one,so I just deleted mine.
