Maureen, I have no idea. I wonder if Henry died before the 1841 census because I cannot find any records for him. |

I have had a look at the Haggate burials. There is no Henry Leaver (any spelling) buried there between 1831 and 1841 but he could be somewhere else of course! |

If this is the right Mary, then Henry appears to have died between, say, 1839 & 1841. I can't find a death in Burnley, although there are a coupple of Henry Levers in Bury 1840. I found Tabitha's birth on Lancs bmd, 1840 Looks like I might have to go back to the library and check out deaths and baptisms from 1831 on. |

Was there a war or anything that could have taken him away from home? Was he away from home that night anyway? I searched for Mary - not Henry. |

Has there ever been a period in modern history when there has not been a war? |

Unmarried mother? |

You got there before me Kris. I just looked up all the same info. Anyway, it doesn't look like this is our Henry's widow. As Mel says, it looks like an unmarried mother. |

I agree, we have the wrong Mary Leaver. |

I'm sure I've been down this road before as I recognise some of the details I've just unearthed. Tabitha appears on 1851 at Haggate with her grandmother. Trouble is it's a poor image and the names of her and her grandmother have been mis-transcribed. Piece: 2251; Folio: 104; Page: 15 Haggate Mary Rackser*, head, wid, 67, born Briercliffe Tabatha Davis,** gr'daur, 12, born Briercliffe Alen*** Lord, daur, 25, handloom weaver cotton, born Briercliffe James Lord, son-in-law, 28, handloom weaver cotton, born Briercliffe James Lord, gr'son 1 , born Briercliffe John Lord, gr'son 4 , born Briercliffe Robert Lord, gr'son 2days, born Briercliffe *this should read 'Jackson' **this should read 'Leaver' ***This should read 'Ellen' So it looks like the father of Mary's child was a Jackson. The Jackson family are at Haggate in 1841 with a 20-year old Tabatha, so that's obviously where the name came from. |

Hiya Kris, I have Burrow's and Burrell's in my family, but don't recognise those Christian names, wonder if they were related somewhere along the line. Stephanie. |
