John was born at
Gloucester about 1844, the second of eight known children of
Daniel Barton, of
Whittlesea in Cambridgeshire, and
Jane Brown, of Syston
in Leicestershire.
Daniel, as a contractor for public works, had to move his family around a
great deal, as witness the birthplaces of his children: Leicestershire,
Gloucestershire, Westmoreland, Cheshire, Herefordshire, and in
Northamptonshire: Kettering, Brixworth and Rothwell.
Emma was born
about 1846 in Desborough, the sixth of seven known children of
Thomas Buckby and
his wife Ann, both
of Desborough. Emma and John were married in 1866 and had seven known
children.
