Hi
Have checked 1881 census and found the following...
RICHARD BURNS aged 23 b. c1858 McHester Lancashire Eng.
Relation...son....Father George..Mother Sylvia
Civil Parish...Holme
Occupation... shoemaker......
other children... Emma, George, James, Lavinia, William
Was wondering if some kind person could trace this family in other census.
If I have the right family Richard and brother William will dissappear after this census as they came to South Australia in 1883.
Thanks
Colleen

Sounds like thats my boy! Thought it might be as some names have been used in later generations.
Thanks again. Much appreciated
