Thomas Burton (Bert) England age 38 was the son of Robert M. England and Martha D. Norris.  This England line does not lead back to my England family in Anderson County, Tennessee.  Rather, it leads back to Burke County, North Carolina.  I think there's a good possibility that my England family and the line of Robert M. England may connect up back in Burke County, but this is not proven.

Burt's wife was Verline (Verlie) Harris who had died in 1908.

James William (William or Wilburn or Bill) England age 52 was the son of my third great grandparents John England and Jane Peters.  As such, Bill was the brother of my second great grandmother Vesta Clay (Vestie) England.

Bill was born about 1848, but his census age drifts a bit from census to census.  In the case of the 1910 census, his age reflects more than just a drift.  I have correctly transcribed his age as 52, but he almost certainly was 62.  It seems likely that the error was made by the enumerator when he copied his field book into the official census book.

Bill's name in the 1850 census was James W. England, in the 1860 census it was Willburn, and in the 1870 census it was Willburn.  It appears that his name was James Wilburn England, and that he was known as William or Wilburn or Bill.

Bill married Margaret Jones age 60 on 17 Aug 1878 in Morgan County.  She was reported in the 1900 census as having 8 children with 6 still living.  The total of 8 in 1900 is most likely the correct figure.
