Michael Horton BUSBY b 1803, Chesham, Buckinghmashire
« on: Thursday 05 May 22 18:06 BST (UK) »
Hello.

Various documents show Michael Horton BUSBY to have been born 1803, at Chesham, Buckinghamshire, but, I have been unable to find any record of his birth/baptism/christening.


Some years ago, at my local LDS family history facility, I web through multiple parish registers, for about ten years either side of 1803, for and around hesham, but, I was unable to find any reference to him.

For over 40 years, I have been unable to find any information of his birth, thence, his parents, and, any siblings he may have had; only a possibility, involving Thomas Busby, who married Sarah Horton, and had a son named Joseph Horton Busby.

But, apart from that being possible and likely, I have not found and record that shows a definite link.

I am wondering whether anyone who reads this, has any knowledge of these people, or, knows how to find the record(s) applicable to the birth of Michael Horton Busby.

At the wedding of Michael Horton Busby, to Louisa Rose, the witnesses did not include anyone with the family name Busby; only the family name Rose - probably Louisa's parents. So, from that, I assume that none of the family of Michael Horton Busby, attended his wedding.

If someone could help me to find the information of the birth of Michael Horton Busby; the applicable birth/baptism/christening records, it would be good.

Thank you in anticipation.

Have you found a connection between Thomas Horton Busby married Mary Ann Collett 1835 St Martin in The Fields
He was also a Blind Maker on 1841 census. Not born in County
Unfortunately he dies April 1845 age 34  (born circa 1811)
-------------
Then there is William Horton Busby married Sarah Elizabeth Sherwin 1839 St Mark Kennington
His occupation is carpenter. He gives father as Thomas.

1841 census Lambeth  not born in county
---------------------

The Joseph Horton Busby mentioned also moves to London/Middlesex and marries  Mary Ann Ford 1843
He dies 1855 age 54 registered City of London
He was baptized at Hartwell - on census says born Stone. Hartwell is now part of Stone.
------------

Are there wills in  Buckinghamshire for Thomas Busby who appears to be the father of Joseph, Michael, Thomas and William and possibly more children?

Does Michael's death record in 1877 in New Zealand not give any details of his parents?

No - NZ BDM index search shows
1877/702   Busby    Michael Horton    74Y
and the death certificate that I got, about 50 years ago, did not show parents' names

Other than the commonality of the middle name Horton, between Michael Horton Busby and the other people with the Horton middle name and the Busby family name, and, the proximity,  I have not found any connection.

I do not know of a will of Thomas Busby who married Sarah Horton.

I cannot find a marriage between a Thomas Busby and Sarah Horton.

Thomas Busby married Sarah Bettle 17 October 1797 at Lavendon.

Is it possible that a man name Horton married into the family, did not have children and they hoped to inherit.
It happened in my family 250 years ago, turns out he was an uncle by marriage of my ancestor, they had children but none survived.

Have you tried the apprenticeship indexes for Buckinghamshire?
