One of those "Family Historians" rather than a true qualified Genealogist 😃
I do but lately it's been a hassle finding stories I had been reading. There 1 night, gone the next and back again. Read 5 chapters of 1 story tonight before it disappeared

Now Boleyn would be interesting but I think everyone in Britain and their pets can claim Vikings and Conquerors. 50/50 on William being in my tree lol

So possibly discount it for now until confirmed then? I've used more Ancestry to do my tree than FamilySearch. It's more for searching tricky records I cannot see etc.

Gorgeous. My mum would love that one but as a beginner I'm only good with prestamped or hand drawn using a light board. Cannot copy straight from paper just yet 😕

So I'm not the only one who doesn't stick to the traditional ornament theme then. This year is York, last year was Autism Awareness

That's true. For 12 years I thought his name was George William Burton. It was only the recent free FMP weekend that showed I was wrong. Looking for his daughter's 1921 census stated Father Deceased. Turns out he was born Button, lived as a Burton and died as Button again

Making it more awkward to determine who the father is on these baptism records now. Harriet Button is named in an article but there was also another woman named Ann Sutton mentioned. No Criminal Records exist for either women

Very interested in this area of York at the moment. I have the baptism records of a few Button Ancestors in this area as well as news articles. Is it true this area was known for women of ill-repute shall we say?

More or less have, still debating if the reason for the name change is an axe to grind against the surname or if he is the son of a Button after all

York, Yorkshire, England but the other side sounds very intriguing
