Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 12,291 Send Message	John Burton's son John 1843 was her father. I have posted all the census records above. His daughter, Ann Jane Burton married Paul Capper but not sure why Emily has that as a middle name or why she is not with her parents on the records.

Ann Jane Burton, who married Paul Capper is the sister of John Burton, Emily's father. Ann Jane Burton in the 1851 England Census Name: Ann Jane Burton Age: 11 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1840 Relation: Daughter Father's Name: John Burton Mother's Name: Ann Burton Gender: Female Where born: Fenton, Staffordshire, England Civil Parish: Chatterley County/Island: Staffordshire Country: England Street Address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration District: Wolstanton Sub-registration District: Wolstanton ED, institution, or vessel: 1c Neighbors: Household Schedule Number: 79 Piece: 2002 Folio: 160 Page Number: 22 Household Members: Name Age John Burton 40 Ann Burton 43 Ann Jane Burton 11 <<<<<<<<<<<< William Burton 9 John Burton 5 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< William Malkton 44

	Alviegal Thank you so much. So the John Burton on the census was her Grandfather? Thank you for your help
Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 24,975 Send Message	ArgyllGran	Report	11 Jan 2021 21:43
	Yes, John Burton (listed as "father-in-law" in the 1881 census) was Emily's grandfather.
