Individual Details
John William BUCKLEY
(Abt 1823 - AFTER 24 OCT 1864 AND PROBABLY BEFORE APR 1873)
According to his marriage certificate (1848), John was an engineer; the 1851 census tells us he was a journeyman trumpet maker: and the birth certificate of his daughter Agnes (1854) gives his occupation as a musical instrument maker. The death certicate of his daughter Elizabeth (1859) tells us he was a 'brass turner (master)', and according to the 1861 census he was a 'musical instrument maker and news agent'. The death certificate (1864) of his wife, Eliza, gives his occupation as 'musical instrument maker (master)', while his profession is given as 'gentleman' on the marriage certificate (1881) of his daughter Agnes. Had he worked at some point for his father-in-law who ran a musical instrument making business? The marriage certificate of his son George (who married in 1898) tells us John had been a banker's clerk whereas George's death certificate (1932) states that John had been a general merchant. It is quite possible that George was never sure what his father had worked at given that he (George) was adopted and brought to Scotland as a child, following the premature death of his parents.
At the time of the 1861 census and at the time of the death of Eliza, John and his family were living at 17 Brydges St. in Covent Garden which until 1859 or 1860 was the location of the Butler musical instrument business. Prior to 1861, known addresses for John were 4 Sutton St., Soho (at the time of his marriage in 1848), and 28 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden (at the time of the birth of his daughter Agnes in 1854).
It is possible John died in April 1873 at 140 Cornwall Road, Notting Hill, London as (a) a number of public family trees on the Ancestry website give this date and place of death for John and (b) the marriage record of John's daughter Margaret, dated August 1873, has 140 Cornwall Road, Notting Hill as her address. However, no sources have been provided to support this and I have been unable to locate a death record for a John Buckley with a date of death of April 1873 and place of death of 140 Cornwall Road. A death certificate obtained for a John Buckley who died in Kensington in 1873 age 49 is probably NOT that of our John. The John referenced on the death certificate died on 14 June 1873 at 121 Gloucester Terrace, Paddington; his occupation was a butler and the informant was a Maria Buckley of the same address. It is also possible John had died by the time of the 1871 census as no entry can be found for him.
