Can anyone help me to sort out this branch of my tree please, im going round in circles….and suggestions would be most appriecated
Charlotte Curry 1846 marries Thomas Cosmos Dowling. in Bristol
They have 3 children.
Ann Rosina Dowling born 1867 Bristol
Lavinia Charlotte Dowling born 1868 Bristol
Charlotte Lorry Dowling born 1871 Bristol. Unfortunately mum dies 1 month later.
Think baby Charlotte does not survive…found record of a Lorry Dowling dying that year.
September 1886 sees a record of Ann Rosina Curry Dowling marrying a John Edward Burton. Vol 6a Page 10
On the 1891 census Ann and John can be found living in St Helens, Lancashire and Lavinia with her daughter Florence Lavinia are staying with them (Lavinia is noted as single)
John is stated on this census as coming from Wales and being born abt 1862, 5 years older than Ann.
Now becomes the confusing part….
1909 census..
Lavinia & Florence can be found living together at 30 College street. Although Lavinia is now stated as a widow!! – ( a pride thing maybe!)
At no 28 College street (same page) is a John Burton and a Annie Burton but the information does not match previous findings e.g Johns age and birth place.!!! Think this maybe a different couple.
Found a John who has all the same details as mine now living with a Fanny walker who he married in 1895 in district of Bradford.
What has happened to Ann if this is my John
In 1911 census Charlotte Dowling is living with Florence Dowling.. Is mum using her middle name?
Please help me to piece this together…my head hurts lol
many thanks for your time
