William Buller, malster at Stratford upon Avon, is the testator and he is married to Elizabeth. There are a couple of possibilities for his birth in the LDS 1745 at West Hatch Somerset (son of William and Jane Buller), 1753 at Poulton le Fylde, Lancashire (son of William Buller), 1757 at Banbury, Oxford (son of William and Ann Buller), and 1759 at Bodmin Cornwall (son of William and Mary Buller).
Clifford Chambers is two miles south of Stratford upon Avon and fourteen miles NNW of Long Compton. Is William Buller related to the Buller family of Compton. By the will of Richard-5 of Long Compton (and the Halford Estate papers) the family no longer retained their property at Halford. The family of Richard was quite large including children: Richard, William, John, Robert, Elizabeth Jefferis and Anne Joiner. Both daughters are married and Anne may be deceased.
His daughter Mary Ann married John Smith. His daughter Elizabeth is married to Daniel Morse. Possibly the marriage of his son William was 1 Nov 1825 to Jane Gibbs at Stratford Upon Avon (his wife is known to be Jane). Baptism for their son William 19 Jul 1826 at Stratford Upon Avon. William was likely born circa 1796 and he was buried at Stratford Upon Avon 4 Dec 1852. They appear to have had a large family: William, Mary, Elizabeth, Thomas, Frederick, Edward and Ellen. His daughter Letitia Buller married John Court 7 Nov 1825 at Stratford Upon Avon (Family Search M00913-7).
Related to my Christopher Buller? Completely unknown plus he isn't living that close to Birmingham where my known Buller family lived in the mid 1800s to early 1900s. Birmingham is 22 miles NNW of Stratford upon Avon. No ideas really on the pedigree of this particular Buller family. There is a family pedigree chart at the Archives in Stratford upon Avon and I have written to enquire about purchasing an image of the Pedigree Chart.
