Individual Details
George Charles BUCKLEY
(4 Jul 1861 - 17 Aug 1932)
George's baptismal sponsors were Charles Hobbs and Mary Ann Butler.
George was adopted by Charlotte Annie Brett (1829-1882) of Huntly in Aberdeenshire in Scotland. Charlotte was the widow of Major Reginald Brett who had died in 1859 on board ship (the Eastern Monarch) on his way from India to England. She was a member of the Drummond family of Megginch Castle in Perthshire; her parents were Adam Augustus Drummond and Sandelia Symon, and her grandparents were Admiral Sir Adam Drummond and Lady Charlotte Murray. Charlotte and Reginald had had a child, Reginald Charles Augustus Brett, who was born 3 September 1846 and died in infancy.
The circumstances of George's adoption are not known, and I have no proof that he was in fact adopted by Charlotte. However, it is not surprising he was adopted because his mother died when he was just two years of age and some of his older siblings appear to have been raised by relatives subsquently. It seems George's father had died before he had reached the age of 13, by which time he was living in Huntly. The 1871 census of Scotland lists nine-year-old George in Charlotte's household at Lonach Lodge in Strathdon, Aberdeenshire. I can find no trace of George in the 1881 census. Charlotte died aged 52 in 1882 when Charles was about 19 years old. The 1891 census places George in Chapel St. in Huntly, his occupation being a painter's apprentice. At the time of his marriage in 1898 he was living at 5 Bogie St. in Huntly and was a journeyman house painter; and at the time of the 1901 census, he and his family were at 15 Littlejohn St., also in Huntly.
George's residence at the time of his death in 1932 was Nazareth House, Claremont St., Aberdeen. His occupation on his death certificate was "House Painter (Journeyman)" and cause of death was "Chronic Myocarditis and Pulmonary Oedema". He and his wife, Mary, are both buried in Huntly Cemetery, next to Charlotte.
Note: Major Brett mentioned above died either from consumption on board the Eastern Monarch in February 1859 or in a fire aboard the same vessel in June 1859.
