Re: CLARA J. BUXTON

Mother's maiden name for 'Sarah Ann' born in 1850 is 'JUNE' according to the augmented GRO index.

Sadly, I think this is probably her:

GRO Deaths Mar 1851
Buxton Sarah Ann
Lincoln 14 341

GRO says age 0

There's a marriage of a George BUXTON to an Elizabeth *TUNE* in 1849 in Lincoln.

Re: CLARA J. BUXTON

I am tempted to think this might be relevant:

GRO Marriages JUN 1869
BELL James
BUXTON Clara Jane
Carlisle 10b 642

A tree at Ancestry and censuses after this marriage say this Clara Jane was born in Sheffield (one census says Carlisle). She is about the right age. I know the Clara Jane we are looking for was (probably) born in Lincolnshire but she would have thought of Sheffield as her home town.

I don't know how she would have ended up in Cumberland and I can't find a record of the marriage online that gives details of her father and his occupation.

The BELL family had roots in Scotland. Maybe that's where the BUXTONs disappeared to?!

If this does turn out to be the right one there is a photograph of her in the Ancestry tree. She died in 1923.
