BURTON and DAVIES - research from Australia

[Coriolana]

Hi,

I am researching from Sydney.  My Burton/Davies line actually went to New Zealand from Lancashire.  I don't have much on them only:

William Burton married Harriet Davies on 10 April 1853 in Cathedral, Manchester, Lancashire.  Their daugther Amelia was born in Spain.  I beleive that William was in the Army and may have been stationed at Gibralter - hence Amelia's birth in Spain.  The family then immigrated to NZ.  I have this information thanks to a family researcher in NZ.

Any information about their Lancashire roots would be appreciated.  

regards
Carol

Hi Carol,

Burton and Davies can be quite a popular name in Lancashire 


Do you know anymore about the Marriage of William and Harriet, perhaps if we knew some addresses we may be able to check the 1851 census? Maybe the Marriage certificate gives us information on the fathers and their trades.


Best Wishes

Hi,

Unfortunately I don't have a copy of their marriage certificate at this time.  It is on my list of things to do (among many others).  Most of the information on this side of the family came from a researcher in New Zealand.  I am in Australia.

Many thanks for your comments

Carol
