	Yes, John Burton (listed as "father-in-law" in the 1881 census) was Emily's grandfather.
	Researching: Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 12,339 Send Message	John Burton's son John 1843 was her father. I have posted all the census records above. His daughter, Ann Jane Burton married Paul Capper but not sure why Emily has that as a middle name or why she is not with her parents on the records.
