George Burn- birth never registered?

If we go with the idea that there were two Henry BURNs and that the Henry who married Maria OVERMAND is not our man, how about:

Marriage Jun qtr 1843 Leeds vol 23 p271: 8 names on page including Henry BURN and Johanna SWALES

Birth Jun qtr 1848 Hunslet vol 23 p299 BOURNE George mmn SWALES.

So SWALES is in.  OVERMAND out! 

looking at your most recent post - Cowass as a middle name? - He'd be teased mercilessly about that today!

Yes - Cowass transcribed as Cowap on FindMyPast but the original looks clearly to me to have the archaic double-S.

Seems to be primarily a Cheshire surname?  Not one I'd come across before.

Hannah (Burn) is still in Hunslet in 1871 but is shown as a widow. She is 48, a Pottery Hand, born Halheath.
