Family Group Sheet submitted (circa 1972) by Roy B. Lancaster, Jr., 1502 Greenfield Ave., SLC, GGG Son of James Buckley. [1]

In 1861, the Buckley family lived in Oldham, Lancashire, England. All members of the household were born in Lancashire. The town where each was born is noted. The family included James Buckley, 42, born in Crompton; his wife, Ann, 41, born in Crompton; their five children, Ann, 16, and Joseph, 14, both born in Oldham; Hannah, 6, and James, 4, both born in Boynton; and Betty, 1, born in Oldham. [2]

The Buckley family immigrated to the United States in 1864.

There were 1020 passengers on the April 1864 voyage on the Monarch of the Sea. They left Liverpool on 28 April and arrived New York on 3 June 1864. Buckley passengers: James, 44, a miner; his wife Ann, 44; Betty (Bessie), 5; Hannah, 8; james, 7; and Joseph, 17, a collier. And, Ann’s brother James and his family: James Fielding, 38, a miner; wife Betty, 35; children, Emma, ; Mary, 11; and Sarah Ann, 8.[3]

NOTE: the Buckley and Fielding families were listed as traveling on a later voyage, on the ship, the General McClellan, which left Liverpool on 21 May 1864, and arrived New York on 23 June 1864. This record, as well as the record for the Monarch of the Sea, shows that James Fielding paid, or wrote the drafts for payment of the passage for both families. It is unclear which voyage they actually took.[4]

They traveled by ox wagon train to Utah.

The wagon company left 22 July 1864 from Wyoming, Nebraska (about 40 miles south of Omaha), and arrived in “the Valley” Utah on 4 October 1864. There were 65 wagons and 436 people in the company, the third ox train led by Captain William S. Warren.[5] Among the travelers were the entire Buckley family, Betty Fielding and her three daughters.[6]NOTE: James Fielding and a son, Abraham (1849 England-1916 SLC, Utah), arrived two years later, on 5 September 1866. They came with Captain Samuel D. White’s Company train.

James’ father James died on the overland trail in Sweetwater, Wyoming on 14 September 1864. James’ mother Ann died of mountain fever eight days after her arrival in Utah Territory.

James Buckley, 35, and Eliza Stevens, 19, were married on 6 November 1895 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. [7] Thomas Maycock, a Mormon elder, officiated. Witnesses were Joseph Buckley and Lydia A. Caldwell. [8]

In 1900, the Buckley family lived in a rented house at 149 Eighth South, Salt Lake City, Utah. The household included James Buckley, 43, born in June 1857 in England (parents b. England), a teamster; his wife of five years, Eliza, 24, born Feb. 1876 in Utah (father b. MO; mother b. Utah), who had had two children, both born in Utah; their sons, Lester, 4, b. Aug. 1896; and Clarence, 2, b. March 1898. Both of the adults could read and write. [9]

James Buckley and Eliza Stevens are mentioned in the death record of their son, Gladmer G. Buckley, eleven months and twenty days of age, who died of asphyxia and croupious pneumonia of four days, at 2am on 17 February 1904. The informant to his death was (his father) James Buckley, 835 Foster Ave., Salt Lake City. Gladmer was buried at Salt Lake City Cemetery. [10]

In 1910, the Buckleys lived at 835 Rice St., Salt Lake City, Utah. They owned their house without a mortgage. The family included James Buckley, 52, born in England, a teamster, who immigrated in 1865; his wife of 14 years, Eliza, 33, born in Utah, who had had seven children, four of whom were living; their sons, all born in Utah, and all in school, except for the youngest one: Lester, 14; Clarence, 12; Leo, 9; and Leroy, 5. [11]

James Buckley and Eliza Stevens are mentioned in the death record of their son, Frank M. Buckley, 1 1/2, who died of chronic indigestion, and chronic bronchitis following whooping cough, on 2 October 1912, at home at 835 Rice, Salt Lake City, Utah. He was buried at Salt Lake City Cemetery. [12]

In 1920, the Buckley family lived at 835 Edison St., Salt Lake City, Utah. They owned their house without a mortgage. The family included James Buckley, 62, born in England, a teamster in the delivery business, who had immigrated in 1864, and became a naturalized citizen in 1884; his wife, Eliza, 43, born in Utah; and their son, Leroy W., 14, born in Utah, in school. [13]

Eliza Buckley, 54, died of a cerebral embolism at Salt Lake General Hospital, Salt Lake City, Utah, on 3 January 1931. She was survived by her husband, James Buckley. Eliza was born 1 February 1876 in Sanpete, Utah. Her residence was 835 Edison Street. The informant to her death was (her son) Leo J. Buckley, 116 First Avenue. Eliza was buried at Salt Lake City Cemetery. [14]

The Buckley house at 835 Edison St., Salt Lake City, Utah was built in 1902. It is a single story, two bedroom, brick house with 900sf. It has a charming group of windows in attic the gable. [15]

The Buckleys lived in the following homes with the street number of 835:

  • 1904: 835 Foster Ave.
  • 1910, 1912: 835 Rice St.
  • 1920, 1931: 835 Edison St.

this is likely the same house, if the city changed the name of the street.

James was a contractor, and married to Eliza Stevens. He died at age 79,a widower, and was buried 27 January 1937 in Salt Lake City Cemetery, SLC, Utah.
