Bio:             After his mother Mary died in 1841, Daniel lived with his father and grandparents Daniel and Elizabeth in Burton End. (1841 census)

On the 1851 census, his father is now dead and he is living with his grandparents, cousin Ann Piper and sister Emily in Burton End and he is working as an Errand boy. By the 1861 census, he his living in Burton End with his wife Susan and their two children Henry and Emily. He now works as an Agricultural Labourer.

On the 1871 census he is living in the same place with the same job, but he and Susan now have 6 children.

Ten years later, at the time of the 1881 census Daniel now works as a Horsekeeper on a Farm. He still lives with his wife in Burton End and with his two youngest children. They now have lodgers, his son-in-law and daughter George and Elizabeth Ship and their son. George works as a Farm Labourer, possibly for the same Farmer as Daniel.

Later that year, Daniel dies at the relatively young age of 45, whether this is through illness or due to an accident I am unsure.
