Does anyone have information on this family? James Buxton and his wife Mary Jones lived in Lydbrook in the 1880’s. They had four children William, Charlie, Charlotte and Mary Hannah. By 1901, the family had moved to Willesden in London except for James who stayed in Lydbrook where he worked as a coal hewer (collier). By 1911, William Buxton had married Violet Ethel Isabel Groves and they one child George William, and then another son Albert Edward in 1911. I have a record of Mary Buxton going back to Lydbrook for the inquest on her son Charlie, who had been disabled since birth and died in April 1911. Mary Hannah lived in Colford and we have no other information except that Albert Edward Buxton having divorced his wife, Alice Gravestock when living in London, moved back to Drybrook where he died in 1996.
