John and Alice were clearly very keen to have a son named Ralph, giving three sons that name. On each occasion the child died young. From this, I suspect that Ralph may have been John's father's name.
There was also another Burrows family in the area at the same time, attending the same chapel for baptisms. In this case, the father was Ralph, a tailor of Tithebarn Street in 1805 (Gores) and later in Scotland Road. Although I cannot prove it, I suspect that this may be John's brother.
