Answer 1

Ancestry.com is usually good, if i had any other ideas id tell u, but, i dont...

Answer 2

if you want help here, the continent he lived on (and country he lived in, if "Continent' isn't Australia) would help. County would help even more.

I would reccommend:

The surname board at Ancestry

The surname board at GenForum

The appropriate County board at Ancestry

The appropriate County board at Genforum

His obituary

Roots Web World Connect

The BURNETT RW Mailing list

The appripriate RW county mailing list

Google search with exact phrase

LDS 1880

Write to me via my profile if you need links for any of these suggestions.

(If any of these sound familiar, send me an email--in my profile--and I'll see what else I can find. We often need more than just birth and death years. For instance, today there are 2,144,695 people in the U.S. with the first name Joseph--10th most popular first name, and there are 70,018 people in the U.S. with the last name Burnett, the 490th most popular last name. There are 493 people in the U.S. named Joseph Burnett, according to www.howmanyofme.com.

   So, it helps a great deal to have birthplace, race (if known), at least one parent's name, etc. to really do a thorough search for someone.)

Answer 4

try Ancestry.com - I looked at it breifly for you and it found a lot of them born around the same time, it gives you a spouse (if listed on the census) and the area they were located.

Answer 5

I have ancestry.com and will look and see what I can find for you.  Do you have any other information on him.  What state he lived in? parents names? spouse name?  etc.   Give me as much information as you can on him and I will see what I can find.
