See below mail sent last week that some kind soul replied to. I have lost your mail so please re-send in grateful thanks Gillian Cattell Birmingham Mine is the opposite as my father was adamant his grandmother was not the daughter of a hawker from Selby. His sister however left a sheet of paper for my cousin with the names of her grandparents and where they had come from which disagreed with him. So this Yorksgen I pursued my Buxtons from Selby starting with visits to Pontefract & Harrogate registry offices where the certificates (£10 & £16 respectively) confirmed the relationship I had long suspected. Now I know why great grandma Annie changed her age (4years younger) her name (from Ann) & the occupation of her father James (she said labourer when he was a licenced hawker). They appear to have travelled around having children in various locations and without the census tracking them would have been impossible. I have one record (Borthwick BT's) of a baptism in Rawcliffe C.E. and then two non-conformist baptisms in Knottingley but the other seven children including my Annie were not to be found. They finally settled in Selby in around 1865 when my Annie would have been 10 living on East Common for many years allowing the younger children to go to school, (Selby Abbey school records from Borthwick). I have her uncles & aunts placed in the census variously "on the road", in fields, on the waterside so I am thinking all the siblings of James were travelling people all selling pots/ earthenware, though their parents were residents of Knottingley where he was a potter. Annies mother Eliza lived to the grand age of 87 years so must have been made of strong stuff and sounds to have been a fiery character having been had up at the Petty Sessions for using obscene language in the market place, (Selby library old newspapers). I look forward to tracking the rest of the Buxtons to see if any of the others escaped to a better life like my Annie. Thanks to Janice & Christine See you at Yorksgen 2013 Gillian Cattell
