Botley
- Aylesbury
I am looking for any info on the Botley family who lived in Aylesbury, Bucks about 1879-1900. The head of the house was Thomas Botley (born c1850)and one of his sons was Sir Thomas Moore Botley (b.1888). I do not know how he became a 'Sir' but he was not knighted! He was my Great Grandad, who I never met as he died before I was born. There were at least 6 other children in that family. Sir Thomas married Elsie Weedon and they had 8 children, some of who died young. Elsie was married previously to Walter Freeman. She died approx 1928 and Sir Thomas remarried but had no more children. I do not know his 2nd wife's name.
