Just thought I would throw this 'out there' to see if anyone can find out a bit more on these Buxton ladies, as I seem to have reached a dead end.
William Wharton was my 3x great grandfather ..... this is likely his marriage
Extracted
WILLIAM WHARTON
Marriages:
Spouse: ELIZABETH BUXTON
Marriage: 01 DEC 1834 Kings Norton, Worcester
William's wife Elizabeth died in 1841 and William later married again, but I am just interested in his first wife for now
Elizabeth's death....
Elizabeth Wharton
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1841
Registration district: King's Norton, Worcestershire
Volume: 18 Page: 313
On the census from earlier in the year there is a Mary Buxton or (Brixton?) living with them .... I have assumed that this is William's mother-in-law, Elizabeth's mum
1841. Kings Norton, Worcestershire, England
William Wharton(30) shoe maker,
Elizabeth(30),
Louisa(4),
Emma (2),
John(6 months),
Mary BUXTON(60)..all born in County
Note:- could be Brixton on census??
So my first question is .... is it Buxton or Brixton ?
.... I have gone with Buxton so far
and could this be Mary's death?
Mary Buxton
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1855
Registration district: King's Norton
Inferred County: Worcestershire
Volume: 6c
Page: 231
If it is .... where is she in 1851?
Of course she may have died outside the area and all I know is that she would have died after 1841.... and there are Mary Buxtons all over the place
.... that's before you even start to look at the variations in spelling
So if anyone could give me any help it would be greatly appreciated
Thankyou
