BUCKTON families in Queensland
« on: Friday 18 February 11 08:15 GMT (UK) »
Trying to trace more details of the family of John William Buckton who emigrated to Queensland in 1910 with wife Sarah. At least 10 children known - Reginald, Mavis, Dorothy, Lilian, Ethel, Thomas Henry, Arthur George, William, Ailsa Heather and George but no birthdates or marriage details. Names of their families also known but no spouse names or dates. Can anyone help or point me in right direction?

1943 Queensland.

Buckton John William, Dawson rd.
Buckton Rachel, Dawson rd, home duties.

1954 Queensland.

Buckton John William, Dawson rd.
Buckton Rachel, Dawson rd, home duties.

There was no occupation listed for John in 1936, 1937, 1943 or 1954.

Looks like John married a Rachel ?? after the death of Sarah Ann Buckton in 1930, this probably occured in 1935 or 1936 because while I can't find a marriage registration in Qld up until 31st December 1934 for Rachel & John Rachel does appear on the 1936 Electoral Roll with John William.

John William Buckton (junior) enlisted in the Australian Army in WW2. http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/script/name.asp
