Welcome to rootschat
When and where do you last have him on census
-
hello
I googled it and the name came up on my heritage but 1897 to 1956 could this be son of or other relative

In 1871 his wife, plus three children, is with her mother in Laceby.
In 1881 his wife is still in Laceby as the wife of Charles Cross, together with the same three Burley children.
-
When his son Alfred Tom Burley married 6 November 1896 it was stated that his father whose occupation had been a saddler was deceased.
-
The last birth registration of a Burley / Pearson child that I could see was
BURLEY, GEORGE mmn PEARSON
GRO Reference: 1870 M Quarter in CAISTOR Volume 07A Page 631
Not that it proves that Alfred P. was the father and alive or still 'around' at the time of conception ::)

Hardly likely to be the same chap, I think, this is the 1919 absent voters list. The man we're looking for would have been over 80!

Are you sure that is not Alfred Phillipson Burley born c1897 son of Alfred Tom Burley. The address is similar to where he is living on the last census

hi again

Alfred Phillipson BURLEY disappears off census and BMD records after 1870.
No death found on FreeBMD (using spelling variants).
No trace found on censuses after 1871 on FamilySearch (using spelling variants).
So - did he emigrate? Was he in an institution where names were recorded only as initials on censuses?
A wild thought - I can't see a marriage on FreeBMD for wife Jane to Charles CROSS (found on census by JenB). Does he exist before 1881? Am I being too fanciful in wondering if Alfred P BURLEY changed his name? ??? ???
-
Sorry Philip :)
Charles Cross is in Laceby prior to 1881. He appears to have married Eliza Borman in 1857 but she is not with him in 1861 when he says he is married and in 1871 he is a widower
ADDED He is a couple of doors away from Jane in 1871 ::)

Hi all I have Alfred on the 1861 census ,he also registered the birth of my great grandfather George on 22/01/1870 and then disappears offthe face of the earth. The only other thing I have found is a passenger list entry for a Fred Burley on the ship the Wisconsin, sailing from Liverpool to New York in march 1873. It also stopped in Queenstown in Ireland en route. Whether this is my Alfred is anybody's guess
-
There was also a Samuel Burley age 30 that sailed with 'Fred' in 1873, would he fit into the family.
That Fred's occ was Labourer - your Alfred was a Saddler
-
Hi thanks Rosie for that info on Alfred ,that does close that line of research down. Re Alfreds siblings they were Emily, Frances, Mary, Daniel and Fanny Maria. Parents were Thomas Burley and Elizabeth Phillipson, they married at St. Margaret's church Laceby on 11/02/1835. Alfred Phillipson is my great X 2 grandfather.

Re the Fred and Samuel Burley who emigrated to America, they were listed as brothers in Iowa in 1880. Fred was a farmer, born in 1855, so not the right person.
I can't see him after that but Samuel was still in Iowa in 1910 and confirms that he immigrated in 1873.
When Edward Cross was born in 1874, his mother's name was given as Burley but Pearson when Mary Ann was born in 1880. It could be that Alfred was missing, whereabouts unknown, in 1874 but perhaps presumed dead by 1880, although Jane and Charles never married.
