Think benjamin is also thomas and emmas child. But john is probably youngest of george and ann?? Think george is too old , born around 1838 ish , to be brother of my mark duxbury. And mark has a brother thomas and also a brother george. mark was born in 1848. Just cant understand then why mark duxbury is buried in same grave as ednas husband? There must be a relationship somewhere , musnt there?

Thanks guys, youve found the burwin's. Yes, ancestry keeps putting danbury for the name duxbury on a few census with a few different families. And when i look at the original census record, it definately looks like duxbury.
I am hoping that thomas is either a cousin or brother of my mark duxbury. In 1861 mark and his family were in oswaldtwistle, then moved to burnley in 1871. .

A copy of the couples marriage certificate should name both their fathers.

Alternatively find them on the 1901 census to determine when and where they were born and then check the earlier census records to see if you can locate them with their family.

Hi
Can anyone help with finding names of fathers of these two people who married in burnley in 1893? I have a child of theirs named edna born in 1895 in burnley who married william sutcliffe hewitt . William sutcliffe hewitt is buried in the same grave as mark duxbury who was born in oswaldtwistle in approx 1848. I am unsure as to the relationship of edna and mark although they have the same surname. I wondered if thomas was mark's brother but do not know thomas's age or fathers name to prove this, can anyone out there help.? I thought i may beable to find the answer on lancashire bmd or parish clerks but no luck.
thanks
shirley
