Burnett family on the 1851 census
« on: Sunday 16 January 22 16:58 GMT (UK) »
I have the Burnett family in 1851 in Wigan Lancashire. Piece 2199, Folio 565, Page 19

William Burnett - head 53? Cavan
Mary Burnett- wife Monaghan
William Burnett age 17 their son
David Dale - Cavan
Esther Dale - Cavan

Esther Dale was my Gr. Grandmother
David Dale was her Brother but they have wrongly transcribed them as Husband and wife.
I have followed Esther and her Brother up to date but what I am wondering is, if the Burnetts were relatives?
I can't find son William on any later census or earlier or anymore information.
From my Gr. Gr. Grandmother's marriage certificate, I have her Father as David Dale a Farmer.
Thanks

More details would help. What are given for ages of David Dale and Esther Dale? What age was Mary Burnett? Where was her son William Burnett born?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
