I should add that we don't know whether Henry Burrows was William's actual father or his stepfather. William is down as the Dixons' grandson on the 1881 census and as Henry's son on the 1891 census, but he doesn't seem to have used the surname Burrows or put Henry down as his father on his marriage certificate.

If you mean Henry Burrows, see my post above yours - I'm not sure.

Ooh, but I've found a baptism on FamilySearch: William Henry Burrowes christened 12 Mar 1871 at St Thomas, Eccleston, son of Henry and Elizabeth. I'll see whether the image is available on ancestry.

Yes, here is the image on ancestry (they had mistranscribed the surname as Bennon):
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/25...=4199657_01329

It shows his date of birth as 16 Dec 1870.

Hi , on the same thread , I am trying to find out what Mary Ecclestons name was before marriage ., was she also from the same area . I have looked on the BMD for the names of the children but it does not state the mothers maiden name . All I can go on his a marriage . But there is two marriages of William Eccleston , one in 1843 to a Mary , the other in 1846 in the st Helens area . Thanks

Hi Kiterunner , do you think my Grandfather was William Henry Burrows and not William Henry Eccleston , the date of birth is right , and I had an uncle named James Burrows , but why has he got the name Eccleston . On the 1881 living with Grandparents , unless he was illegitimate and he has been given the burrows name on the christening in Prescot . Plus there is a birth in prescot of William Eccleston 1870 . The registrar says the mother is unmarried .
