Can you help me trace the family of my Great Great Grandmother Caroline Bickley. The family apparently came from SANDYFORD Staffordshire. Her father Joseph Bickley died around 1842. After her father’s death at an unknown date, Caroline with her mother Hannah Bickley nee Hill, and her brother and sisters, Edmund, Georgiana and Mary Elizabeth migrated to the United
States.
Another member of the family Selina (or Salina) remained in England but I am unsure as to her exact relationship to Caroline; perhaps she was a sister or an aunt. Georgiana married Freyer (Fryer?) Marwood, and had at least two children, but I’m not sure when and where they married. Their marriage could have been either in England or America.
In America the Bickleys lived for a time in Wisconsin and then Illinois. Later they moved to Kansas where they established themselves near the township of Cedar, perhaps in a locality called North Cedar. Some of the family are said to be buried at the Cedar Valley Cemetery some miles south of the city of Denison.
Mary Elizabeth married at least twice, once to a man called Ross and later to a local Doctor C. W. Buffon, a man of some standing in and around Cedar and the County of Jackson. They had only one child, a boy, E.W. Buffon who also became a prominent Kansan. Father and son, and the Bickley family, are mentioned in the book: “A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans” compiled by W.E. Connelley. Lewis Pub. Co. 1918. (Can be found on the Internet). The part the pertains to the Bickleys reads:
“Edmund W (Buffon) is the only child by (Dr C. W. Buffon’s) marriage to Mrs. Mary Elizabeth (Bickley) Ross, who was born in Staffordshire, England, in 1840 and died at Denison, Kansas, in 1902. Her mother Mrs. Bickley came with her family to Jackson County, Kansas, in 1856, being among the earliest settlers there. The Bickleys drove across the prairies in wagons to their home on what was then the Kansas
frontier”.
Before the Bickleys moved to Kansas Caroline had already married my G.G.Grandfather, Robert Ollerhead – Olerhead in Chicago in 1851 or 1852. Together they migrated to Australia where they arrived in 1853 in search of gold. Caroline died in 1905 and is buried in the Inglewood Town Cemetery in the State of Victoria.
