I have just had a look at the 1901 census , for henry . It hasn't got the parents on the census . Henry age 14 and alice 0 . they are in St. helens .

The marriage is on family search , and it isn't the original ,so i can't see ages father etc . so it's difficult . The lady who has put them on the tree may not have double checked everything .

That's in post #34 isn't it? Well, not 1885 as that's not when yours was born!

The parents are there with Henry and Alice. The other children are James 26, Mary A 21 and George 18.

no one else showed on my census but i always have problems with family search . yes henry was bor around 1887 . i've message the person who has put the post on the burrows yo see how she came to the conclusion about maria and henry .

If you search for Alice or Henry the census result shows them to be daughter and son of some apparently unlisted person. The result also shows you:

Event place: Wood Street
Page Number: 22
Piece/Folio: 164
Schedule Type: 117

In this case you know who the parents are, so if you search for them the additional details for Henry and Elizabeth and the older children are:

Event place: Wood Street
Page Number: 21
Piece/Folio: 164
Schedule Type: 117

So, the street address, the folio number and the schedule number all match, so the household is the same one, but the last two in the household are on the following page.

hi , I'm stuck at the moment as there's a fault in messages on family search , i can't receive them It is been like this for the past week so i can't get in touch with the tree transcriber at the moment . as it would have probably cleared up the confusion with Henry burrows as i think it is showing on elizabeth and henrys family , that henry was born in Preston .
