Help to find parents of Grace Button
« on: Thursday 10 April 14 10:19 BST (UK) »
My 3 x gt grandmother Grace Button married Samuel Hancox in 1813 in Kilmersdon, Somerset.

I am trying to find info on her parents.  From census details she was born around 1789 in Kilmersdon.

That is all the information I have for her.

Can anyone help me to discover who her parents were and if she had any siblings?

You could try for a death certificate and maybe the parent's names would be listed or a marriage a tree has a death in 1877 if that is any help  :)

Hi Rosie

I have seen some trees listing her as having been baptised as Grace Bunn with parents Joseph and Margaret, but I can't find the record.

Familysearch has a Tree that gives a Joseph Button born Kilmersdon 1753 died Kilmersdon May 1813 who had a daughter Grace born 1792 Kilmersdon died 1877, she was one of nine children.
This Joseph married a Margaret Hamblyn in Kilmersdon.

Hi Ruskie

I didn't think they had parents names on. 

Do you have any idea where the baptism record of Grace Button was found listing her as Grace Bunn as mentioned in an earlier post?

I think you will have to ask the person who has put that on their tree.
If they cannot supply a source for the info,  and an explanation as to why Grace Bunn is Grace Button, then it isnt worth anything. You can pick out any name and say it was her!
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex
