One of those "Family Historians" rather than a true qualified Genealogist 😃
Some of my latest #colouring pages the last few days

When your trying to get comfortable enough to read but Fibromyalgia flare up decides to make an appearance instead 😭

Working on my first ever #loomknitting project. A figure of 8 stitch blanket that I hope to put together in 2 panels as this is the only loom I seem comfortable with. Will it work? I don't know, am I having fun learning to knit this way? Oh yeah! 😉

I finally got the #Embroidery finished and then stitched it around the card ready to frame tomorrow only to find I've put the card the wrong way round 🤣 First ever embroidery design

Round 2, took the clock out as it was too fiddly and added the date July 2nd 1981 in its place and changed the fonts in the Crests. Luckily fits the new #embroidery frame fully this time 😉

Slowly getting there with my first ever freehand #embroidery #handstitch design

I feel like my first actual #embroidery design seems to be going well soo far

When you decide to take a break from #Genealogy to work on #Embroidery designs and still end up doing #familyhistory themed anyway 🤣

Took a while but I've finally managed to create a suitable replacement template for this one. Needs an update after 10 years 😃 #genealogy #familyhistory

Cozy scene, a must have when typing up what feels like an essay on a name change 🤣 #ancestry #familytree #genealogy

One of those nights of putting together the Button to Burton Surname Mystery at last 🤯 #ancestry #genealogy #yorkancestry #familyhistory
November 22, 2024 at 11:02 PM
I think I'm finally ready to combine this into a final conclusion on the Button to Burton surname change 🤯

Oh Family Tree Oh Family Tree
How you're proving to be a mystery

I thought George William Button changing his name to Burton was bad. It got much worse with his father John 🤯 #Genealogy #Familyhistory #York #ancestry

Guess John & Emma both moved to Salford together as evidenced by both of their marriages. I'm now wondering if he is only the father of Emma and so legally took her or he abandoned them all as Catherine wasn't his legal wife until 1894

Thank you, at the moment I'm just working on this little thing for visual help. Local library suggest name change could be due to escaping something as a Button. If the name was a drastic change I'd believe it but not by changing 1 letter
November 16, 2024 at 6:59 PM
That one is correct, looks like it may be Button. Cannot be a coincidence on this one surely?
November 16, 2024 at 5:05 PM
But of late night/early morning reading
November 16, 2024 at 1:44 AM
it gets much worse now. Florence is only down as Florrie within the books (which might explain why the GRO have given me a refund for the digital image being impossible to find). The marriage certificate has been dispatched so hopefully I'll have answers on that in the next few days

Hello again old friend #Stockton-on-Tees #Christmas
November 11, 2024 at 11:50 PM
98% positive it's him now. Too many coincidences really
November 10, 2024 at 12:16 PM
It's the daughter Hilda that started this. Her 1921 census stated father deceased but I could never find it so assumed divorce. Someone else found it today as Button & I found a matching birth. GWB's death has Portland Place as address- same as Florence's address in later life.

So happy to have found this one tonight putting an end to his war career having served from 1919-1945 😃

Let us not forget them ♥️
