John was probably his parents' only child - there is no evidence of any
baptisms of other children in any of the parish registers so far researched.

John BURNETT, age 9yrs, together with his parents, was recorded at the home of
his grandfather John MILNER in Weaverthorpe.

James was already a widow at the time of the 1891 census and the age given
for daughter Margaret in 1901 census returns suggests a birth in c1890. First
wife Mary [DODDS] died in 1890 possibly as a result of giving birth to
Margaret. James obviously married again - his second wife being named Jane,
born in London
[as per 1901 census] and they had at least one daughter, Daisey, born in c1892.
The "Free BMD" web site identifies Jane Elizabeth GREY as spouse of
James Thomas BURNETT.

1851 census: HO107/2370, folio 388, p11
William was with his parents and siblings at Coxwold - see notes for father
William BURNETT
1861 census: ? [not found]
William gave his age as 23yrs at his marriage on 28 Sep 1865 at Slingsby.
This is consistent with his date of baptism - both suggest a birth date in
1842. The marriage was 'announced' in the "Malton Messenger"
newspaper of 30 Sep 1865:
"On the 28th inst, at Slingsby, by Rev. W. CARTER, Mr Wm. BURNETT,
blacksmith, to Anne, youngest daughter of Mr Isaac KNEESHAW."

The youngest of the children, Emma DALBY, described as William's daughter,
was in fact his step-daughter. William's first wife Ann KNEESHAW, who is known
to have been born in Slingsby, Yorks, must have died some time after Polly's
birth in c1875. GRO Index of Deaths does have an entry for an Ann BURNETT whose
death in 1879 was registered in Bradford. With
a young family to look after William married again - he married Ann DALBY in
1880. The GRO Index has their marriage registered during the September quarter
1880 at Bradford. Ann was a widow herself -
Emma DALBY being her daughter from her first marriage.
Family souces suggest that William emigrated to Canada
in c1892 and four years later moved to Forge Village,
Massachusetts in the USA. He was
still in Forge Village when he died in 1926.
[Information provided by Mike T. BURNETT]
In fact William emigrated in c1882 and moved into the US in 1887. Forge Village
is about 3mls from Westford,
Massachusetts.

It seems likely that William misunderstood the question regarding his
immigration to the US.

but he first went to Canada
and then to the US
about 5yrs later.

Ann KNEESHAW
Ann KNEESHAW is known to have been born in Slingsby in 1846 she was not
therefore the wife named Ann recorded with William BURNETT in Bradford at the
time of the 1881 census – now known to have been a widow named Ann DALBY who
married William in 1880. Ann BURNETT,
nee KNEESHAW died between 1875 and 1881 and the death of Ann BURNETT registered
at Bradford in 1879 was almost certainly hers.

Family legend has it that William ran away from home while still a boy and
was last heard of in the South African diamond territory during World War I
[Information provided by Mike T. BURNETT]
William certainly did not accompany his parents & siblings when the family
emigrated to Canada
in 1882. And the following 1891 census return appears to include him:
RG12/3630, folio 26, p 47
Arthur W. BURNETT, 25, *married*, cloth finisher, born Slingsby was recorded as
a boarder with fish dealer George KITCHINGMAN in Bradford.
//
Forenames were switched but this was without doubt William Arthur BURNETT, born
1865, Slingsby.
GRO Index of Marriages has the marriage of William Arthur BURNETT and Annie
Maria MORLEY in 1886 at Bradford. This is
likely to have been the marriage of this individual. The whereabouts of his
wife Annie in 1891 remain unknown.
The "Yorkshire BMD" website has another marriage of William Arthur
BURNETT and Sarah Hannah WATSON at Leeds Register Office in 1892
No record has been found of William or either of his possible wives after
1891 and it is not known if he had any children.

Ann Maria DALBY
Ann was a widow when she married widower William BURNETT at Bradford in 1880. William had four children with his
first wife, who had died just a year previously, and Ann had a daughter named
Emma DALBY from her first marriage. The name of Emma's father is not known and
Ann's maiden surname is also unknown at this stage.
William and Ann had a son named William Ernest BURNETT born at Bradford in
1881 before they emigrated to Canada,
with all but one of their children, in 1882. After four or five years in Canada the family crossed into the USA and settled at Forge
Village, Westford, Massachusetts.
In successive census returns, from 1881 in England
through 1900 to 1920 in America,
Ann gave conflicting information. Her name was given as Ann (1881), Maria
(1900), Ann M. (1910) and Maria (1920). From her given ages; 28 (1881), 45
(1900), 57 (1910) and 66 (1920) her suggested year of birth was 1852, 1855,
1853 and 1854 respectively [see notes for husband William BURNETT]
A letter written in 1957 by Ann's grandson Leonard BURNETT, then living in Concord, New Jersey,
named his grandmother as Hannah Maria. The letter described "Hannah"
as a "tiny, sprightly woman, lived a while with each of her daughters,
finaly dying at 84 - stone deaf - while with Aunt Bessie (Wyman) in Camden, N.J."
Depending on her true year of birth this suggests that she died between 1936
and 1939 inclusive. Leonard BURNETT's
"Aunt Bessie" was Ann's step-daughter Margaret Annie.

Isaac enlisted in the British Army on 11 Jan 1915 and became Gunner Isaac
Burnett of the Ist West Riding Brigade, Royal Field Artillary, No 1759. Isaac
signed up for "the duration of the war". Three months later Isaac was
on his way to the front line. He saw action in Belgium
and France
during which time he was promoted twice, first to Corporal, then to Sergeant.
He spent 12 days in a field hospital in France during August &
September 1918 with Impetigo. He was admitted to a field hospital again on 12
Feb 1919 with Influenza [the great Flu Pandemic]. He was transferred to a
hospital in Leicester and was discharged on 12
Mar 1919. He was demobilised on 9 Apr 1919 and was finally discharged from the
Army on 31 Mar 1920.
When he signed up for the Army in 1915 Isaac gave his address as 28 Woodhouse St Leeds - he was working as an oil extractor for Whitworth
& Sons. He named his brother Walter Burnett as his next of kin. At
demobilisation he gave his address as 1
Stonefield St, Bradford Rd, Leeds.
