Thanks Mike but I don't think they would be so far out on his age - by 1861 I would expect him to be 6 |

The 1861 posted by Mike has been altered on Ancestry to show father as Alexander and not Andrew |

Thanks Mike this is a real puzzle. William seems to be two people at once! I have him in the 1891 cencus with an age that looks like 37 and he is a coal miner, birth place Wortley ( there is one in Leeds). He has 3 children with Kate aged 27, who becomes a widow by 1901 and is then 44. It is not that unusual for ancestors to change their info but this one is really stretching it towards incredulity! |

Yes Maureen, that's the Herbert I am following but are there two Kate Burrow as I can only find the one marriage - I am starting to wonder if my head is facing the right way....? |

I presume you have looked for Kate as Catherine or Katherine |
