Hi raylen - that's brilliant! I found some of that information but it was slow going. I got most of the births and marriages but not the deaths. Yes, Benjamin may not be the right one - I suppose always possible that hwe wasn't born in WA. At about the same time, Albert's brother Arthur was in eastern Australia (and going through a divorce in 1903, in NSW), also another brother William Henry was living on Phillip Island, Victoria from about 1891 to 1899.

I'm assuming that Charles Clarence is the correct Charles - but have made contact with a possible relative on GenesReunited who should be able to confirm or reject this identification.

as for Bert - I think this is the Bert Button who was killed in November 1916 in a bomb accident on Salisbury Plains, England: found a few newspaper notices about his death. Found him on the CWGC database - Albert James Button, died 23 Nov 1916.  51st battalion, AIF , buried in Codford St Mary, Wiltshire, wife Gladys May, but no further information. Hiswife's name tallies with the Gladys in the newspaper entries, who had surname Crowle (in memoriam entry was placed by her father, hence we have the surname).

Thanks again
Stephen

That's interesting. I knew that Albert went to Australia, but there is a wealth of new information here.

I have traced the Buttons back to the 1600's and would be happy to share what I have.

Hi, Meles - the earliest Button I have is now Edward - born about 1620, probably in Arlington, Sussex. He married Dorothy Tompkin 20/8/1642 in Arlington.

With all the help from rootschat members and the amazing Trove resource of newspapers I am beginning to piece together the families of the Buttons who went to Australia. Not just Albert, but his brothers Arthur (went to Queensland, later NSW) and William Henry (Victoria - Phillip island, 1891 to about 1900 - he returned to England after the death of his first wife Harriet in 1898).

It's possible, but not that important - as long as it's accurate! I don't have a huge amount of extra information since we were last in touch, but there is some new data. I'll check back and see what else...
all the best

Wow this is very interesting. I believe Albert was my great great grandfather. His daughter's (Lillian May) daughter is my grandmother born in the 1930's. I am really interested to see how far back this goes. :)

Hi, tomtree .... I have sent you a personal message too. The most up-to-date version of the tree is on GenesReunited, but a fairly recent version is on Rootsweb - http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=silicondale
