Dixon, Butroid and Seaton Butroid - Fillingham, Lincolnshire
Article
While 'googling' on the surname DIXON (my paternal grandmother's maiden name) I came across this link to one Sarah DIXON. The reference to the village of Fillingham, Lincolnshire caught my eye.
As a very young child I remember staying for a few days at my uncle Harold's farm at Fillingham, and being from inner city Sheffield, farm animals, tractors and haystacks were an adventure playground.
I'm sure my uncle Harold was Harold CARTER 1913-1977, though I really know so little about this branch (paternal) of the family.
Anyway, while browsing the links on this site I then came across a reference to John BUTROID and this lead to Seaton BUTROID and eventually BUTROID.
Now the reason I mention this is because in these previous posts I documented the link between my great grandmother Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949's sister Sarah ALLEN 1862-1943 and Jesse BUTROID 1862-1943.
Time and research will tell if the name Sarah DIXON is of any significance.
The 'Ancestors of John Heaton Gray' website has not been updated for a few years but maybe the email address is still valid.
2007-01-21 Unfortunately most of the external links appear to be broken.
2011-12-27 The links pointed at a website hosted by Geocities. This service has now closed so I have removed the links but retained the names.
