Can an England Project member track down some sources?

I ran across this gentleman while I was Rangering and noticed that this profile is unsourced, and the notes about the dates in the bio are kinda wonky. Also, his wife's profile could also use some work. I've set it to reflect her name from the notes on his profile, but again, I have no idea if the dates are close.

Thank you so much!

The marriage isn't his, it's his parents.

Going to be difficult finding out who he married, if anybody, with nothing to go on except a name and DoB.

Thanks, RJ -- I was sort of doing a "drive by" and didn't dig too deeply into the details. Looks like someone is working on the wife. The profile is now Unlisted.

stepping away to avoid edit conflicts :-) ~

Haha, you have to be quick with English queries, I stepped away to research after reaching same conclusion as RJ but I was too slow wink

I was just going to say that he married twice, but his spouses could still be living...then when I refreshed the page, I noticed they had been added to his profile!

Freebmd has two potential marriages for a Joseph W P Burrows, both in Sittingbourne in Kent. I won't post the wives' names on here as they could still be living. References are 

  • Q4 1950 Vol 5B P 1464 
  • Q2 1964 Vol 5B P 1444
