Thanks Sylvia. Serves me right for jumping to conclusions!

The most likely suspect for Edward's birth is

Edward Dawson Burton b OND1894 Gainsborough

so thought I'd try to find the marriages of Frank and Caroline's parents to see what the maiden names of their mothers are. Dawson and Owen sound as though they could be surnames used as middle names.

Caroline's parents are here:

Marriages Sep 1866

BURTON Joseph Gainsbro' 7a 1083
Thompson Mary Gainsbro 7a 1083
Wilson Mary S, Gainsbro' 7a 1083

so not very helpful!! Nothing showing on FamilySearch.

This is the most likely pair for Frank's parents:

Groom's Name: George Gillyatt
Bride's Name: Alice Goodhand
Marriage Date: 1854
Marriage Place: Elsham, Lincoln, England

Groom's Father's Name: Thomas Gillyatt
Bride's Father's Name: Harrison Goodhand
