I'm wondering about this family :

1861 census

John BURLEY head 1821 ag lab Seal
Selina BURLEY wife 1827 Pemborough
Jane     9
Alfred 5
Edward 4
Mary Ann 3
William 1 month
RG 9; Piece: 468; Folio: 74; Page: 32

Alfred Burley is on the 1871 census as nephew in the household of Andrew and Harriet Donald in Poplar:
RG10 585 69 6

There's a possible marriage for Andrew John Donald to Harriet YOUNG 27 May 1849 St Dunstan Stepney. Harriet YOUNG'S father was MATTHIAS YOUNG.

Welcome to RootsChat, ask4bob  :)

This looks like it might be the birth reg for William....

BURLEY, WILLIAM   mmn YOUNG
GRO reference: Mar quarter 1861 in Dartford Volume 02A Page 280

Perhaps someone could find a baptism to see who his parents are, otherwise purchasing the birth cert would. Take care to not confuse him with another William Burley also born in Kent but a year earlier, 1860.
