Joseph James Buxton son of Joseph James is with his grandmother, Clara Jukes. He's listed as James Buxton Border, probably due to a mistake when filling out the census.

He appears to emigrate to Australia.
 
Best best for info etc is your cousins, children of Iris & Joyce.

Iris Irene Buxton b 26 Aug 1913, d 1998. She married Harold Whinyates and had 2 sons Rodney & Donald (both now died).

Both married (Donald twice) and had children. Rodney had 1 likely son and Donald 2 daughters from first marriage and 3 sons from second. They all seem to be alive.

Joyce Lilian Jessie Buxton b 24 Jul 1922, d 1993. She married Edward G Burton and probably had a son and 2 daughters.

It's not certain if or who they married.
 
Thanks to those of you who supplied information to me, some of it I already knew about, Iris and Harold had three sons, Rodney, had two sons Julian and Lawrence, Lawrence died, Julian is still alive, as is Nathalie the adopted daughter.
Donald had a daughter with his first wife, her name was Carina, she died, he has three sons with his second wife, all alive.
 
Iris and Harold had another son named David, he has two sons with his wife Sandra, all are still alive as of yesterday when I was speaking to him.
I would appreciate any further information that any one else has.
