I have George born 16.12.1800. bap 11.1.1801 Warton Lancs.
I have his parents, brothers and sisters, but nothing else about George.

I have a DNA match with a lady in USA who has a George Webster Burrow, but not this one, hers will be more like 1875 onwards.

Can anyone check if George went to the US please?

Thank you, I think that fits in with what my DNA match lady wrote

'Hannah, married to a Burrow and they came the US from England. Year? Mrs. (Etta?) Wood, a widow with many children, came west from St.Louis on the Big Mountain wagon train and eventually settled in Yamhill OR and then Ridgefield WA. There, one of her daughters, (that could have been Etta), married a Burrow and gave birth to George Webster Burrow and I think another son...Charles? and a daughter, Lottie? Lucille?'

Thanks Maddie.

I wonder if the Brier Burrows could be George's father, Bryan, bap 1768 in Warton Lancs. His wife died in 1833, so pre-census. I have no other census record for him.

EDIT:
Although that's nearer to Warton, Preston than to Warton,, Lancaster.

If this is your Bryan's death, then probably that's not him in in Preston in 1841:

There's also this death:

My Bryan Burrow was a wheelwright. I don't know where he died, I had recorded the Kendal record with a query. However one of his sons seems to have had a carters business in Kendal 1851 onwards, so Bryan may have been there,
