hi all hit a brick wall with regards to the burn line of the family.
looking for a james burn (paper maker) but could also be a labourer with regards to census information.
i believe he may have died between 1851 and 1854 give or take a couple of years.
i think he was roughly born around 1791 in ireland but was living in washington county durham in 1841.
any help would be apprechiated
cheers

Sean, have you asked about this man before? It seems to ring a bell.

Is this your man in 1841? - it would have helped if you had posted the census and/or mentioned who he was with.

Why do you think he may have died between 1851 and 1854? Have you found him in 1851..........

No point posing the same question twice within half hour of each other. Information gets duplicated wasting members time and effort.

You give various spellings of his surname, Sean.

Have you found those spellings in other records of him?
If so, please give us the details.
There's no point in us spending time searching for information you already have.

EDIT:
Oh, yes, I see that info on your other thread which Greyghost has posted the link for.

You should continue on that thread, instead of starting another.
