Samuel Burgess

[avm228]

Yes, he is the Samuel Burgess, buried at St.Pauls, Hanging Heaton.  I believe he was married twice; his first wife was Maria Kirk (died 1898 age 28), second wife, Mary Jane (born Dewsbury 1859, died 1930).

There’s a third marriage I think, to Mary Jane Walker in 1933.

It looks as though Sam was a bit of a lad!

So the basic chronology:

Dec qtr 1893: Marriage to Maria Kirk (St Mary, Mirfield)
Dec qtr 1894: Birth of Francis George Burgess
Dec qtr 1895: Birth of Fred Burgess
Mar qtr 1898: Birth of Alice Mary Burgess
Dec qtr 1898: Death of Maria Burgess, aged 28
Mar qtr 1899?: Marriage to Mary Jane?
Jun qtr 1901: Death of Alice Mary Burgess, aged 3
Dec qtr 1930: Death of Mary Jane Burgess, aged 72
Sep qtr 1933: Marriage to Mary Jane Walker

Wow! Thank you so much for all the information!  This has cleared up quite a few questions that I had. 
I’m hoping to visit Samuel’s birthplace (Belchford) and his last resting place (Hanging Heaton) very shortly.
Thank you again!

Samuel and Mary J are on the 1939 Register with three of Mary's children from her previous marriage.  One record closed so either another of Mary's children or someone else.

This looks like Mary's first marriage:-

I’ve only just started on my ancestry quest, so haven’t joined any other site except this one.  I just Googled ‘Samuel Burgess’ and RootsChat popped up.  I’ve been going through a lot of old papers, and found some names from the past...so my quest continues...!
