Bucklands in Bucks

[Skull]

I'm trying to trace a Thomas Buckland, born in 1791 who lived in the Burnham area of Bucks in the 1800's. He had a son Alfred, who was a bricklayer, and two grandchildren, Alfred and George who were also Bricklayers in Beaconsfield.

Thanks

all born in county

they seem to have stayed in the same area.... there is no indication as yet that they were travellers ...but Buckland is a well known name in Gypsy history ...they may well be related.

will look for more info

hi Skull

According to IGI ..these are Thomas and Martha's children's christenings;

Sophia Buckland  -  21 OCT 1838 Burnham
Mary Ann Buckland - 26 JAN 1845 Burnham
Martha Buckland - 26 JAN 1845 Burnham
Georgiene Buckland  - 16 JUL 1848 Burnham
Emma Buckland - 26 OCT 1834 Burnham
Lavinia Buckland - 20 NOV 1836 Burnham

this is the best one though ..It does not say whether it is Extracted or submitted info ...

Louisa Rogest - 21 AUG 1831 Burnham (she is with them in 1841) 
parents; Thomas BUCKLAND and Martha ROGEST

maybe they only married after Louisa was born 

will check further

Hello Deb

Thanks for this! I have already come across this Thomas Buckland, but wasn't sure if he was the right one as the dates are all a bit confusing. According to the 1841 Census aged 50, he was born in 1791, but in the 1851 Census aged 68, he must have been born in about 1783.  That's 8 years difference. In the 1861 Census aged 76, he was born in 1785. Do you think it's the same person?  I've come across another  Thomas Buckland born in 1791 in Wraysbury, Bucks through someone else on the Ancestry website via the Bucks History Society, but don't have any other details.

I've only just started this researching into my family's history so it's all a bit confusing. I don't have a clue what IGI, extracted or submitted means, but I guess I'll learn!

Re Thomas Buckland: I think this is the right person, as everything else seems to tie-in. I guess he was being a bit economical with the truth as far as his age was concerned when it came to the different censuses, because he was so much older than his wife.

Re Richard Bucklin and Mary: The only Richard Bucklin I've found was born in Amersham in 1767. Thomas was baptised in Hitcham in 1785. Richard and Mary Bucklin had 6 children, the first, William was baptised in 1780 and the last, Jeremiah, in 1792. As Richard would have been too young (about 13) to have had William, and 18 to have had Thomas, I suppose this doesn't quite work out.
