Still think if you look 'Search All Member Trees', could be to your advantage!, can see Sidney (1941) for a start...

Might be more helpful for you to make contact, than just taking Info./Photo's from a 'Tree', perhaps. Might at least help with Sidney (senior, that is!)

She married Edward Watts as Beatrice A.E.Harvey making it appear that she was legally married to Sidney Harvey.

Was Albert the only Burrows child - looks like it from dates on freebmd - there were other Burrows/Pearce marriages around the time.

Not finding a Burrows/Harvey marriage. Do you know when William died or maybe Beatrice wasn't free to remarry, but said so on the Register for propriety's sake

Have you actually found the 6 children's birth registrations to know what was given as the mmn?
