Henry, If you e-mail me I will send you the 1841 census for Crawshawbooth. A lot of Burtons there including John with his two sons. Kind regards, Sue I don't have the 1841 or 1851 census detail for Burtons in the Crawshawbooth/Rawtenstall areas of Lancashire. Maybe someone does.

That would be great Sue! I would love to track down where the Burtons were living at that time and see how they relate to the data I that I already have. I'll look forward to some happy hunting!
