Hi, my grandads mum was called Margaret Botting. I am unsure of any details than she married a snapper in 1926?. Can anyone help.

I have found a link to the Botting family in my family tree, but cannot trace more than 2 people. The information I have is Barbara Botting (b 1797, Horsham, Sussex, England). She married Peter Knight in 1817. I think her mother was Martha Botting, and that Barbara was illegitimate.

Suzanne Walters

Katherine Hassell

I am related to the Botting family in Shorne, Kent. My grandmother, Florence Irene May Botting, was born in Shorne in 1915. Does anyone know more details of this branch of the family?

Anne Grimes

My great grandmother was Anne Payne whose first husband died and she then married a Mr Botting (we believe his first name was Arthur). They had two children - Lydia Laura Botting (my grandmother) and John Botting (my great uncle).

Lydia and John had about 7 half brothers and sisters from Anne's first marriage, one of which was called Florence Ann.

It is believed Lydia was born in Penge, South East London on 13th September 1907. She married a James Daniel O'Connell and had 6 children.

John married but never had any children.

This really is a long shot and I've never done this before. But does this ring a bell with anyone?

Diana Elizabeth Botting (Stemp)

I'm interested in any history about the botting family in betchworth /dorking surrey.

Can any one help???

Therese Elizabeth Drummond Lantsbery Grear

I believe that my mother's grandmother was Mrs Botting nee Miss Haynes.

"Gran" was married to Benjamin Botting He died 9th Nov 1881 aged 48. They had Robert Botting, Harriet Botting, Allison Botting (she died in Feb 1952) her son was W.G Wyld who was my mother's father.

So there is only a small link by marriage, but thought it might be of interest.

Andrew Botting

Australia

I was born in Whitstable 29/9/61. My father was John Stuart Botting dob 1/7/27. He had 4 siblings Jess, Louis, Leonard & Margaret. My parents were shopkeepers in Whitstable before my family migrated to Adelaide Australia in 1965. My Uncle Leonard was our 'sponsor' as he migrated about 12mths prior. I'm trying to find my family again.

Martin Mitchell

My Botting line can be traced reliably only so far as John Botting b.1700/01 in Shipley, who married Mary Holland 17 Jul 1726 in Wisborough Green, and died 3 Jun 1786 in Shipley.
Opinions as to his parents are varied, and I'm still looking for something credible - I'm not aware of any siblings, so a Shipley couple married 1699/1700 might look promising.
Is anyone else chasing the same problem?

PAST ENQUIRIES

Hilary Botting

My 6xgt grandfather was Richard Botting (Botten) who married Elizabeth Boorer in 1727 at Betchworth Surrey. I can trace the son Samuel Botting's family from 1727 to date but where did this Richard (I have not found the other sons John, Richard, Thomas & David)come from he was not baptised in Betchworth Surrey.

A possible I have found in West Grinstead baptised 1702. In my researches I came across Hugh who had Hammerwood House & his will. I found various documents which showed his line of Bottings went to Cowden. I also found an ironworker John Botting on the iron weald web site who came from France.

I would like to find any member of my line.

Jean Botting

I have been tracing my husbands family and have an Alfred Botting who married Mary Blann 11 Jan 1863 at St Nicholas, Brighton, Sussex I am sure sure his parents were John Botting born 1814 in Woolwich married to Sarah born in Portsmouth. I have traced them to living in London Road in Brighton in 1851.Can anyone help with anymore information.

Donna Peterson

I have been doing my family tree and need to find information on grace botting, she is my grandfathers sister, i know she had a daughter called christine and a son called lesley, and this is all im able to find out, as my grandparents have past away,any help would be greatly apprieciated.

Carol Quinton

England

Hi I'm very pleased to have found this website.

I've been researching my family history on and off for 10 yeard. My maternal Grandfather was Charles Albert Botting who was born in Hove East Sussex and married Jessica Tomlins. Charles' father was Harry Botting born 1871 in Worthing, he married Catherine Green and his father was Henry Botting.As far as I can find out, Henry was Henry Wheatland Botting born1846 Washington Sussex who married Eliza Nicholls, and his father was John Botting 1813 who married Mary Wheatland;but I'm not sure of that. If that is correct then I can trace the Bottings back to William and Mary Botting 1597 of Slaugham.

If anyone out there can help I'd be delighted. I live in Kent, and my mother Elizabeth Botting lived in Hove much of her young life. We've visited Washington/Ashington and would love to meet other Bottings.

Angela Botting

I am looking for some information on Henry Botting born in 1790 married Mary Fielders(born 1773). I know he was the son of Edward Botting and Sara(Grinstead). The dates I have of his death do not make sense with the dates I have for his son William's birth.

I would appreciate anyone that could help with the dates of both Henry and Mary's deaths.

Richard Macdonald

I am looking for information about Richard Charles Botting. Born July 30 1900 in Rochester New York and died Nov 28,1964 in Boston. His father was William Botting born in UK and mother was Mary Clune born in Boston Ma.

Lewis Wood

I am currently researching all the names recorded on the Banstead War Memorial in Surrey and one name is that of E H Botting. I believe him to be Eric Harold Botting, son of Henry Leslie and Primrose Botting, of Seaford, Sussex; Husband of Margaret G. E. Botting, of Hornchurch, Essex.
I list below the record from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

If anyone has any information about this Botting, please do get in touch. All my findings are being published on www.bansteadhistory.com which I am updating almost daily. If anyone has a photogrph, that would be a real bonus.

There is also an E E Botting listed on the Epsom War Memorial who may or may not be the same man. I am finding that there are many many mistakes on the memorial I am researching. I can provide pictures of both inscriptions if you would like me to do so.

My g.grandmother Emily Mary Botting was born 1845 in St Marylebone, London of Henry 1814- 73 and Mary. He was born in Storrington, Sussex of Henry and Sarah. Is this Henry the son Edward and Sarah Grinstead? Their son Henry was born in 1766 and could also have married Ann Heaseman, Ann Waller, or Ann Stanford. I have looked at original records and all the wills I can find, but have found no definitive answer. Can anyone help? About 10 Henries were born in a small area of Sussex in the mid and late 19th century. Has any one had any luck in distinguishing one from the other? Any clarification would be wonderful.

David Ward

There was a substantial cluster of Bottings around West Grinstead in Sussex in the period 1600-1900. My Botting ancestors came from the village of Alfold on the Surrey/Sussex borders a few miles north of this main concentration of Bottings. It seems most if not all Bottings in Alfold were from our branch of the family which can be traced back to Francis Botting born in 1725 in Alfold.

My Gt Gt Grandfather was Moses Botting who was born in 1818 in Alfold. He raised his family in Ewhurst over the border in Surrey where there appears to have been two or three Botting family groups in the mid 1800's. Our branch continued to migrate a few miles north with each generation, my Gt Grandfather raising his family in Ashtead and my Grandfather being associated with Epsom. Others of the family lived in and around the villages of Fetcham and Bookham.

By the early 1900's Mose's descendants were scattered over most of Surrey. After the end of WW1 my Grandfather had migrated to Brighton, Sussex where he met and married my Grandmother. Our branch of Bottings remained in the Brighton area and my Mother still lives there as well as a few other close relatives. Others of us have moved away and colonised other parts of the UK.

If anyone has Botting relatives they can trace to Alfold, Ewhurst, Leatherhead, Ashtead or Epsom I should be interested to hear from them. There are more than 400 names on the Botting branch of our Tree so I may be able help other researchers.

I believe our Bottings were probably an offshoot from the Bottings group to the South of Alfold and would be very interested if anyone can provide a link between these family groupings.

With our Brighton connections still very much alive we would certainly be interested in any proposed 2007 reunion in the town, or city as it has now become.

Denzil Botting

My father "Eric Richard Botting" left England around 1905 and went to India with his parents.
They lived in Lucknow for some years until my grandmothers death, when my grandfather re-married a lady with 2 sons who eventually returned to England.
The family split up and all connections were severed and the years have eroded all details of names, dates etc.
If any of this sounds familiar to anyone, please get in touch and, just maybe we may all have our questions answered?

David Botting

I would be interested if anyone has details of My Grandfathers history Fredrick John Botting. His brothers and sisters names were Robert, Richard, Len, May and Marjory and he was married to Emily Eliabeth Newbon. They had 2 children Joyce and Roy (my Father). He was born about 1895 and died 1960. Past that we do not know anymore.

Tony Beet

I am a descendant of Emily Botting (1851-1935) married to William Grinsted. I have information on this side back to 1686 but am especially interested in photos or pictures of ancestors. I wonder if anyone has any pictures of Emily's siblings or ancestors or their siblings. Her parents were Charles (1823-1893) and Helen Hollands (1820-1863,m.1884), gparents Jonathan (1791-1873) and Elizabeth Jenner (b.1792).ggparents John (1762-1849) & Elizabeth Harwood (1760-1823), gggparents Edward 1728-1804) & Sarah Grinstead (1733-1814). The line then goes back to William in 1597, but pictures are getting unlikely then! I would be very happy to be contacted by any family member and share any information I have, but Russ B in NZ already has most of it so it may be already available.

Carolyn Terry

I would be very interested in this possible reunion and/or more information on the Botting family. I have only recently become interested in the research of family trees and am a real beginner!!

My Mum, Janet, is the daughter of Alfred John Botting (born 30.6.08) who lived in Shorne, Kent and we have started to record all of the information we know of with regard to my Grandad's brothers and extended family and would love to know how these Bottings relate to those traced so far.

Unfortunately my Grandad died in 1990, but I think there are a few remaining relatives from this generation although I haven't yet got around to contacting them.
