Cheshire / Re: Egerton Burgess and back to Egerton!

Wow, many thanks for all your help and input. I certainly agree thats it's going to take some untangling. I have found 6 Egerton families on the 1841 census in Church Minshull!
Lots for me to think about and research.
My main focus is Anne Egerton c1811 as she appears to be the direct line to follow. But without all the other family members it's hard to be sure if I'm going up the correct line.
The Martha Egerton and Ellen Egerton is another interesting "link" as I have found Martha Egerton aged 35 at Church Minshull Hall on the 1841 census, I think she is a servant. But there is also a Mary Burgess aged 13 aswell.
I'm puzzled why Anne would be named on the baptism record of Maria and James Egerton as a single woman if she wasn't their mother?
Once again many thanks for all your suggestions and help. I really do appreciate it. If there is any other advise that you think might be useful please let me know. I'm hoping to be able to come down to Cheshire ( I live in Scotland ) later this year so maybe a visit to the records office in Chester might be useful? Any tips on what I should be looking for there?
Thanks.
Lynn
