Where have you looked, Sarah?

Are you aware of Lancs OPC site?

That's the source of the baptism I posted.............

Baptism: 21 Sep 1823 St Leonard, Middleton, Lancashire, England
Samuel Burgess - Son of John Burgess & Betty
Abode: Tonge
Occupation: Weaver
Baptised by: James Archer Curate
Register: Baptisms 1822 - 1828, Page 57, Entry 451
Source: LDS Film 1545700

Based on the birthplace on the 1851 and his father's occupation on his marriage, this is a possible baptism:

Manchester, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1915

Name: Samuel Burgess
Baptism Date: 21 Sep 1823
Parish: Middleton, St Leonard
Parish as it Appears: Middleton
Father's Name: John Burgess - weaver
Mother's Name: Betty Burgess

They lived somewhere that looks like Hsonge ??

The 1851 shows a different birthplace:

BURGESS, Samuel Head Married M 28 1823 Boat Hauler Middleton, Lancashire
BURGESS, Catharine Wife Married F 29 1822 Boat Hauler Wife Pogmoor, Yorkshire
BURGESS, William Son M 7 1844 Pogmoor, Yorkshire
BURGESS, James Son M 4 1847 Pogmoor, Yorkshire
BURGESS, Samuel Son M 3 1848 Pogmoor, Yorkshire
BURGESS, John Son M 0 (10 MOS) 1851 Pogmoor, Yorkshire

Piece: 2332 Folio: 413 Page: 4
Registration District: Barnsley

Address: Pogmoor Village, Barnsley County: Yorkshire (West riding)

This looks like a possible for their marriage:

West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1935

Name: Samuel Burgess (minor) - a waterman
Age: Minor
Marriage or Bann Date: 7 Nov 1842
Parish: Silkstone with Stainborough, All Saints
Father's Name: John Burgess - weaver
Spouse's Name: Catharine Foundsworth (full age)
Spouse's Father's Name: Thomas Foundsworth - weaver

Neither married before, both living Barnsley.

Witnesses: James Foundsworth and Thos Clayton (or Slayton?)

For reference, is this the family in 1861 (name is actually Burgess)?

BURGASS, Samuel Head Married M 38 1823 Boatman Wigan, Lancashire
BURGASS, Catherine Wife Married F 39 1822 Pogrum, Yorkshire
BURGASS, William Son Unmarried M 15 1846 Boatman Pogrum, Yorkshire
BURGASS, James Son M 13 1848 Coal Miner Pogrum, Yorkshire
BURGASS, Samuel Son M 11 1850 Coal Miner Pogrum, Yorkshire
BURGASS, John Son M 9 1852 Coal Miner Pogrum, Yorkshire
BURGASS, Sarah Daughter F 4 1857 Scholar Pogrum, Yorkshire
BURGASS, Thomas Son M 2 1859 Pogrum, Yorkshire

Piece: 3446 Folio: 88 Page: 22
Registration District: Barnsley
Civil Parish: Barnsley

Address: Pogmoor, Barnsley County: Yorkshire (West riding)

(I think the baby John's surname is actually Farnsworth, or similar)

Hello Sarah - what's his connection to the Catherine Farnsworth in your title?

How did you connect to him in the first place?
