//

John was his wife Elizabeth's second husband. Her maiden surname is unknown but she had previously married George KAY in c1870 - Jane was her daughter from that marriage born in 1872. At the time of the 1871 census George & Elizabeth KAY where living at Stranton, West HartlepoolI [RG10/4918, folio 103, p47]. The census return shows that Elizabeth was born at Preston under Scar, Yorkshire. It is not known when George KAY died but Jane appears to have been the only child of his marriage to Elizabeth. It would also appear that John BURNETT did not have any children with Elizabeth.

The National Burials Index has the burial of a John BURNETT, age 67yrs, of Hilltop, Constable Burton, at Finghall (St. Andrew), on 12 Apr 1899. The given age at death is consistent with birth in c1832. We can be sure that the record refers to this John BURNETT because 1901 census returns show Elizabeth BURNETT, widow, 51, at Hill Top Farm, Constable Burton with a nephew Joseph S. DINSDALE, 21, woodsman, born Leeds [RG13/4604, folio 122, p5]

40. Mary BURNETT

It is strange that Mary and her younger sister Alice are the only ones of the nine children of parents William & Mary BURNETT for whom a baptism record has not been found. The baptisms of all seven of their siblings were recorded in the Wensley parish register.

1841 census: at home with her parents in preston under Scar - see notes for father William BURNETT

Jane E. BURNETT, sister in law, 26, housekeeper, born Preston was living with the widower Francis SUMMERS, head of household, his sister and four children under 15yrs. [Jane's eldest sister Margaret BURNETT married Francis SUMMERS in 1854]

Jane married Foss ROBINSON in 1874.

Wensley
Foss ROBINSON, head, 35, joiner & farmer of 6 acres, Wensley
Jane          do           wife, 35, Preston
//

23. Mary BURNETT

Mary had a son named John BURNETT who was born in 1831 - five years before her marriage to John ROBINSON. It is possible that John BURNETT was the natural but illegitimate son of John ROBINSON - he was recorded as his "son" in later census returns [see below] but may in fact have been his step-son.

1851 census: HO107/2379, folio 370, p15
Preston
John ROBINSON, head, 48, lead miner, Preston
Mary         do         wife, 50, Preston
John BURNETT     son, 19, lead miner, Preston

[Mary also had a son named Thomas ROBINSON, born 1836, who either died as a child or was away from home at the time of this census]

25. Henry BURNETT

Alice        do             2,    do
/Mary HARTLEY    65, grocer, born Yks.
//
Though relationships were not given for the 1841 census it is highly likely that Mary HARTLEY was Henry BURNETT's mother-in-law. The maiden surname of his wife Alice was HARTLEY.

1851 census: HO107/2251, folio 200, p?19

48. John BURNETT

GRO Index of Deaths: BURNETT, John, Dec 1841, Leyburn, xxiv 267 - *probably* the correct reference for this John BURNETT

Elizabeth (Bessy) STOREY

Elizabeth was known as Bessy and was probably a close relative of the Mary STOREY who married William BURNETT, Bessy's brother-in-law, and the Matthew STOREY who married Jane BURNETT - her sister-in-law.

55. Mary BURNETT

There is no record of David or his wife Mary in the National Index to 1861 or 1871 census returns but their son Edmund was recorded at Preston in 1861 returns and as a boarder in Darlington, Durham in 1871 returns. It is likely that both David & Mary died before 1861.

GRO Index of Deaths: BURNETT, David, Jun 1855, Stockton, 10a 47, *possibly* relates to the death of this David BURNETT.
