Jabez Bruton - Born 1881 Hanham Wilts
- Carlisle
I am tracing the Bruton family tree and I am looking for information regarding Jabez Bruton who I believe may have lived in the Carlisle area in the 1950's + 1960's.
He was born in Hanham Wiltshire in 1881, the son of Jabez Bruton and Hester Green. He had sisters called Minnie and Emma (the latter became Candy then Pearcy.) Emma lived in Cardiff.
I believe Jabez was a watercolour artist as my cousin has a painting of his and I remember my nana (Emma ) showing me some hand painted Christmas cards.
I believe there may also be a Canadian link.
If anyone has any information I would be most grateful.
