I think that his parents were Robert Cyril Bouckley & Phyllis Eliza Loach and his grandparents were Thomas Bouckley b. 1885 & Fanny Merrall, b. 1884, married Bilston 1941.

What on earth has happened to RootsChat??? I have used this website for years without problems. It has now taken me 20 minutes to find out how to post a new topic !!! Please, can we go back to the 'old system', where we just found the county and posted a topic. Very poor change of system.
However, I am looking for info.on John BurtonClay. He was born in 1834 around Stockton-on-Tees.Father was John Burton, b. 1811 and Elizabeth Clay. Parents of John were William Burton,b. 1755 and Elizabeth Grant, born Chester-le-Street
John Burtonclay was a mariner who married Margaret Therasea Kelly, date of marriage unknown. They emigrated to Australia between 1857 & 1862. They settled in Bendigo and produced a daughter, Elizabeth Lavinia, b. 1868, in Williamstown, Victoria, d, 1942 in Bendigo.

Worcestershire / Harry Woodman
« on: Tuesday 23 October 12 20:06 BST (UK)  »
Looking for details of Harry Woodman, b. 1905 at Tipton, died 1919 either Dudley region or Tipton. He was the son of Thomas and Lydia Woodman, butchers at Dudley Port. Harry died in a tragic accident when 14 years old by hanging. I would think that this came under the Dudley area.
Dudley cemeteries have stopped their genealogical searches for graves. The family had converted to Roman Catholics at around the same time, so he may be buried at Dudley Cemetery in Section E.
I would be interested to find out the cause of the accident. Can anyone help to settle this question?
