Edward was born around 1844-1845 in Clun, Shropshire according to the two censuses I have found him on. He married Mary Ann Marpole in the Leominster R.D. in 1868. Mary Ann was originally from Beguildy, Radnorshire 1871 - RG10, Piece 2729, Folio 32, Page 2 Hamlet of Bicton, Bicton, Clun, Shropshire Says born 1845 - Salop, Clun Town 1881 - RG11 , Piece 2619, Folio 39, Page 18 Bicton, Clun, Shropshire Says born 1944 - Clun Shropshire Edward's death is registered in Clun in 1915. Mary Ann died in Clun in 1923 I can't seem to find them on 1891 census or any trace of Edward prior to the 1871 census.
Buxton, now I can't usually read censuses but even I could see that the original says Bufton. Thank you @MollyMay - I would never have found that one. I also get to add another child, james.
Have you tried an earlier birth date 1840 +- 5? There is one Edward in Shobden,Herefordshire with James & Elizabeth etc. b.1840 HO107-426-6-page8-book 22 In 1851 with James & Ann now a nephew b.abt 1841 HO107-1981-Folio-505-Page23 Not knowing parent names makes it difficult, as their is another Edward Rattling around in Rattlingshire but he seems to have married an ELizabeth. Following close is this one Name: Edward Bufton Age: 11 Estimated birth year: abt 1840 Relation: Son Father's name: Edmond Bufton Gender: Male Where born: Clunn, Shropshire, England Civil Parish: Manutton County/Island: Shropshire Edmond Bufton 49 Ann Bufton 19 John Bufton 16 Jane Bufton 13 Edward Bufton 11 Emily Bufton 3 HO107; Piece: 1983; Folio: 117; Page: 17
Could be them Ma, I can't be sure without Edward and Mary Ann's marriage cert and I've already spent enough on this family.
Just an extra- Edmund Buffton 45 Jane Buffton 30 Where born: Shropshire, England Civil Parish: Clun Hundred: Purslow (Stow Division) HO107; Piece: 919; Book: 1; Civil Parish: Clun; County: Shropshire; Enumeration District: 1; Folio: 9; Page: 9; Line: 21; ................. Jane must have died before 1851. Had yopu found any other Edward Buftons born in Clun?
That was who I was assuming (not a good thing to do) his parents were but he is not on that census as it was before he was born and can find no trace of them in Clun in 1851.
Name: Edward Bufton Age: 11 Estimated birth year: abt 1840 Relation: Son Father's name: Edmond Bufton Gender: Male Where born: Clunn, Shropshire, England Civil Parish: Manutton County/Island: Shropshire Edmond Bufton 49 Ann Bufton 19 John Bufton 16 Jane Bufton 13 Edward Bufton 11 Emily Bufton 3 HO107; Piece: 1983; Folio: 117; Page: 17
There is this birth:- Births Jun 1844 BUFF*N Edward - Clun - 18 - 51 I know all the other children of Edmund and Jane had the MMN Sherrey but can't get this one to show on the GRO main site. It says it needs a valid surname.
Woohoo you little beaut , that will do just fine. Thank you too @Ma-dotcom for finding the censuses. When Edmond died in 1854 his name is entered as Buftan Edmun
