I've just found 4 siblings in the LDS site. My father and uncle never told me of these aunts and uncles of theirs, but had always said there was some link to the Poet. I haven't found any yet but am cross-referencing as much as I can with what I have so far. Does anyone have a David, William John (1856), Margaret (1858). Samuel (1860) or Helen (1864) Burns, born in Glasgow area? Judy
