  Notes	Around and before 1930, Mary Burgess remembers distinctly her father Rowland receiving letters from Robert Albert Brears in Saskatchewan, asking him to move to Saskatachewan along with his wife and 2 girls. These letters were the cause of some arguments in the household as Rowland's parents in law, who owned and also lived in the same house as Rowland didn't want him to leave, neither did Rowland's parents. Both families pressured Rowland to stay in UK. As Rowland was also running his own successful business, he agreed to stay. John David Burgess Extract from 1908 Doncaster Gazette Newspaper: CARCROFTSUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY - On Sunday, the Wesleyan Sunday School held its anniversary, when services were conducted by the Rev. T. Ross, of Doncaster. Mr. R. Brears was at the organ accompanied by Messrs. D. and T. Knowles. Messrs Middleton and Beaumont assisted the choir. On Thursday the children had a tea provided, after which they flocked to a field kindly lent by Mr. Bulmer, where they spent an enjoyable afternoon.
