NOTE

Solomon BUTSON on 10 Nov 1793 to John BUTSON and Elizabeth, from "St Stephen in Brannel, Cornwall (1790 to 1799)". Also listed in these bap. extracts are John & Elizabeth's other children which match the IGI.

This family Emigrated to Ontario, Canada in 1840 & appear in the 1851 census of Whitby, Ontario, although it records all their birthplaces as Upper Canada. Also present was Grandson, John Hambly. Also living near by are sons, William & Nicholas & dau. Charity (Beckett).

* I couldn't find any evidence that Vickles was the child of Solomon & Joan. He wasn't present with the family in the 1851 census above. Infact the only evidence that a Vickles even existed is the marriage entry below.
