The problem with using trees from ancestry, or other people's research in general, is that you do NOT know how thorough they have been in confirming details.

You really need to double and triple check every single person and every single step taken.

Do NOT just accept what anyone else gives you, or any tree that you might find.

This is the onlylikely marriage to Mary but it's not Burrows.

Marriage: 3 Oct 1791 St Cuthbert, Kirkby Ireleth, Lancashire, England
Fardinando [sic] Burns -

Fardy Burns appears to be a popular name in Kirby Ireleth so you would need to check it's the right one.

This looks like it could be him

LANCASHIRE BURNS looking for any info on John Burns b c1801 who married Hannah (poss Burrow) have names of children Christopher, John, Mary, Agnes and Hannah. All the family if from ulverston area many in flookburgh. My husband is great grandson of John Burns jnr (married to ann) but is very sketchy on any family details so have only got info off census' so far.
Admittedly trying to look for quick fix and see if some relation has already got info!!!
Any info will be of use.... Many thanks Diane
