Looking For Family Who Used to Live in Burton
My gt gt granmother Ann Brennan wife of Thomas (buried in the churchyard) and her daughter Margaret (nee Lodge) Fletcher, wife of John, on the 1871 census they lived next door to each other in 26 and 27 just says Burton. In 1861 Ann and Thomas Brennan are living at 23 High Street, Burton and he is an Innkeeper so I assume this was a Pub (now flats I think). In 1881 Margaret and John are living in 69 Duke Street, Burton and have a son William (who has a plaque in the churchyard, I think he married a Skeats girl) and a daughter Anne, they also have two other children, James and Thomas, they appear to work for the local pottery. Please can anyone help, do you know or are you a descendant of any of these people? Also I believe a gt aunt of mine, Alice Burke (nee Lodge), who married a Harry Sskeats lived at Hill House, which I think is next to the church, does anybody know of these families?

Hilda Skeats married Henry (Harry) Dodgson 1921?, my grandparents, & lived at Hill House.
Samuel Skeats was her father & Ann (or Annie) Brennan was her Mother. Her eldest? sister was also called Annie. Sam Skeats worked at the pottery as an engine driver, as did some of his son's. Check out the 1901 census, you have to search on Burton in Lonsdale entire have lived in the High St. They had 10 children that survived. At the time other relatives lived with them. If you want to know more please email me (mudipaws@optusnet.com.au).

I knew Hilda and Harry Dodson and all their children and went to school with their grandchildren. I lived opposite the church where they lived at Hill House next to Booths who had the farm. Our House was Manor House opposite Stone Bower.
