BUTTONS-Somerset/Coleford
« on: Saturday 14 May 05 21:54 BST (UK) »
Hi there I am researching my family tree I have a large amount of information regarding BUTTON'S.
My family so far originate from SOMERSET especially COLEFORD and surrounding areas.
I know they moved up to LEICESTERSHIRE and then came to BRISTOL.

Thanks Jo

Hi Jo

I've had a quick scan around and have found lots of Buttons around Coleford in 1851. Is this a period of interest to you? If you could give us a few more details about the Buttons you already know and tell us where the gaps are, we'll have a go for you  ;D

Best wishes

Angela
