After Edwin Burgar’s first wife, Emma Fearn, died, Edwin moved to Sheffield and married Harriet Blanksby in 1853 and had quite a large family.  The family surname was entered as Burgin not Burgar in the Census Index.

Edwin Burgar died in 1871, just prior to the Census.  Harriet was now a widow.  Her age seems to be incorrect; she is really only about 35.  Edwin would have died soon after his daughter Emma was born (late 1870).  This seemed to set the family into a period of rough times.

This may be the William Booth who married Harriette Burgar, but if it is so, then she and he are living separately.
