Find Ancestors

To rootgatherer & greyghost you have both been superb with my quest, did not expect to find all this. Here is one for you though as you bothe seem to love the detective work, My Gran always said that her mum who was also Maria Butlin (1900) with her grandad Clarke Butlin (1864-1939)were in someway related to the one and only Billy Butlin, we always passed it off as a family joke, but who knows.........

This site has Billy Butlin's parents and grandparents - you will need to trace back from that to see if you can find a connection:

"William Heygate Colbourne Butlin was born in Cape Town, South Africa on 29th September 1899. His father, who was the son of a clergyman, had been sent to this hot and humid climate as he was what was then known as a "remittance man" "

There is a tree on Ancestry for him.
