Hi, I know lots about my mum's side she tragically died a year to the day that my father committed suicide I have been lucky enough to have been given the privilege of seeing Stevens and Orourke trees for which I am truly grateful. x <3

Yes that is correct, I know lots about my mother's side of the family Stevens and Orourkes as I have seen trees,but I would so like to find out about my father's side (his mother and fathers) I know nothing of any of them really,it would be wonderful to finally find out something of them or even find a family member with a tree that they would allow me to see. Thank you all so very much for your help I am thrilled with the information you have given me in such a short time, I don't know how you do it I haven't been able to find anything really on my own

I am not sure if Frederick Burford is correct as I know nothing of the family apart from my dad Terry Burford and his mother Ivy and husband Albert, who would Frederick be? my father's grandfather>? excuse my ignorance, I will see if I can view the tree x

Albert E is son of Frederick J Burford and Mary Johns, so yes Frederick is Terry's grandfather :-)

Looking at the image of the 1899 marriage, the father's name is definitely recorded as Charles Robert Burford - occupation Sawyer.

Nyx what does that mean? sorry I get very confused...not the correct line? or something odd going on?

Rambling

Rambling Report 21 Jan 2018 15:57

I think it is the correct line Shelly, just that the middle name seems to be off, but then that is not unusual as I have it in my own tree where there were several middle names which the person used.

I should contact that tree owner, and see what info he has and if he has worked forward to Albert :-)

ShellyBurford Report 21 Jan 2018 16:07

Nyx, please could tell me whos tree it is? or how I do it myself? do I search trees by putting in a particular name Frederick Burford and year of birth?
