James Buxton -Donald Carlo
« on: Wednesday 04 May 16 23:38 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information on each or either of these two men and also James Buxton's 2 daughters with Eleanor Findley.
Donald Carlo married Eleanor on the 23/05/1894 in Coonamble on her 17th birthday...he was 47 ! however when her first child, Rosina BUXTON was born in 1898 she was  with a James Buxton.
Her second child Florence Rhoda Buxton was born in 1902 in Victoria. Eleanor also had a 3rd daughter, Hannah.
She variously used the surnames Findley/Carlo/Buxton and she swapped the fathers Christian names of Donald/James/ Robert when she registered various births...her 4th child, Ada May Buxton eventually ended up being called Bonnie Foster as she took the 2 year old Ada with her when she left James Buxton circa 1909 and took up with a George Foster leaving behind her older 3 daughters. Hannah was fostered by the Seber family and has been traced but I was wondering what became of Rosina and Florence who where still quite young (under 12 years).
Because Eleanor was so 'creative' with the names of her children's fathers ect (although they all appear to have been James Buxton's off spring) they have not been able to be trace. Apparently  Hannah, as an adult,  knew nothing about either of her parents or her siblings .

Thanks Crisane, I think that Rosina's middle name was Elizabeth...I should have mentioned that in my first post.

Thanks Bev..it may be worthwhile to get the death cert but I don't suppose it will tell me much about Rosina or Florence as it appears that they were not his children and that Eleanor had long since departed,

Hi Kasden,
   There is a probate packet for Donald CARLO at NSW SRO which I can photograph for you next time I am there if you wish.   It should have the death cert and his will - perhaps there is a small chance that he mentions the children in his will  ???

Thanks Ros..yes all of that information does pertain to Eleanor's mother...the Mrs Gribble is her sister and of course she is Mrs Foster.....I have all this already but I don't have the probate packet for Elizabeth Gribble so I really appreciate your offer of a pic of it.
Eleanor Foster's desertion of her 3 older girls is a mystery to me, especially the 2 eldest...why?...and where did she leave them ?...I only have scant info on the 3rd child Hannah , who was 'fostered' with a family named Seber, and who apparently had a miserable childhood, but nothing at all on the older 2.
