Hi Colin,

Please would you list all the details from 1911 for Herbert and Charles?

Rose

Hi Rose & Linda

I have finally got around to checking the reply's to my search for William.

I know that Leslie Wright Butler's father was William Wright's son and we always had this feeling that there could be others, we always felt that my mother Eileen was not a Butler. Alice ran a boarding house and had many men friends, and Herbert did leave her for a period of time.

I have the 1911 census which gives Charles aged 44 so that makes it 1867.

Here are Herbert & Alice's children.

Winifred 1896 (1 year before their marriage)
James Herbert 1897-1948
Alec 1899
Felicia 1900 c
Rosemary 1901
? Harry 1903
Leslie Wright Butler 1908 - 1969
Robert Frederick 1912 - 1969
Eileen 1914 - 1995

The witnesses for Herbert's wedding does not give their age.

Is there any info regarding the 2 possible weddings for William in either 1877 or 1879, and the births 1857 or 1860.

looking forward to hearing from you both.

Cheers Colin

OK,

I've managed to find Alice in 1911, but she's living with a William Wright. I'm guessing he's the father of the last 2 few children. Is this correct?

Can you list details of Herbert and Alice's children? When were they born?

I just don't see them in 1901.

Please list all the details from 1911 also. It would be helpful to find Charles.

BUTLER William Frederick Birmingham 6d 42

Hi Rose

You seem to have the right family.

I have been trying to trace William for many years now with no luck, it is as though he came from outer space, very frustrating, it was suggested that they came from Ireland but all searches come up negative ,.

As to Herbert's birth date I come up with confusing results if you take his age at marriage is 22 off 1897 it comes to 1875 but in the 1911 census at which it states that Herbert was 35 it come up at 1876

Colin,

"1897 wedding, Alice Foddering 22 Herbert Christopher 19, father William Frederick Butler paper maker, James Foddering father, seaman.
witnesses William Poole & Ellen Battson."

Rose

The only Peckham Charles with a Herbert in 1911 was born 1867. Does the image say 1887?

Rose

Can you list them in 1901?

Rose

Can you list the ages, occupations and witnesses from the marriage cert?

Rose

I am trying to trace my g/grand father William Frederick Butler born 1855 c died 1913c here is all the info I have for him.

My grandfather Herbert Christopher Butler married Alice Foddering on 9th June 1897 at St Magdeline Southwark, Fathers name William Frederick Butler. he lived at 69 Weston Street Southwark, there is no mention of a mothers name. Their marriage cert gives their ages as Herbert 22 Alice 19, witnesses William Poole and Ellen Battson

In the 1911 Peckham census Herbert was staying with his brother which gives Herbert & Charles birth place as Peckham London but I have other info that say's Herbert was born in Wandsworth in 1878. this Charles was born in 1887.

I have inquired with the Butler Society but they have no record of William.
