that looks like that could be the one I am after.

The one Sue posted is transcribed on Ancestry as Buller As there is a 10 month old child with them, it seems unlikely that Maria belongs to them........unless her birth year was not 1870. Do you have her birth cert? Reg

Little Lost Report 11 May 2007 21:31

I have been searching for her birth but cant find it. There is one for Hampstead but thats not her as that one married somebody else

Little Lost Report 11 May 2007 21:33

I have her marriage certificate 1890 she says william as fahter and aged 20

I suspect she is in the metropolitan district school sutton surrey on 1881 where there is a Charles Butler that I assumed may be her brother but no census shows Maria prior to her marriage.

It's possible that she 'dreamed up' a father for the marriage cert.........something to bear in mind. Did she give his occupation? And do the names of the witnesses hold any helpful clues? Who did she marry? Reg

the one on the 1881 has birth yr as 1871, maybe she was born after the cencus was taken,

Little Lost Report 11 May 2007 22:03

Little Lost Report 11 May 2007 22:33

Could there be an Ann Butler on 1871 then?

Little Lost

Little Lost Report 11 May 2007 22:41

off to my bed to ponder this over.lol Thanks for your help

Little Lost Report 11 May 2007 22:42

I just had a brainwave. If her mothers name was Ann then maybe she just got called Maria and grew up thinking Maria was her name. lol

Thanks Sue Trouble is she gives her fathers name as William on her marriage. Cant get onto familysearch to check 1881. Think they are doing maintenance so will have to leave it now until tomorrow
