Have you looked for their marriage? Or one of their children's births?

Marriages Jun 1871 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barton Ellen Elizabeth Leek 6b 397
Burton Ellen Elizabeth Leek 6b 397
Heapy Ralph Leek 6b 397


Either Barton or Burton

Both Barton and Burton are showing on the images, so it looks as if the copy sent to the GRO was not very clear. I think you will need one of the children's birth certs to confirm.

Possible that the surnam is BURTON
