Hi again
I'm actually linked to the Mitchell side, the Elizabeth Mitchell (my 3rd G Grandaunt) who married Louis Joseph Butti ( she was the widow of John Nolli). When I came across the Butti's, the name was just a wee bit unusual for Scotland and I decided research needed to be done.
Elizabeth had a sister, Isabella who married, 1st Fortune Leonardi and after he died she wed Antony Lazzaroni, so they had a penchant for Italians LOL

I'm a descendant of Louis Guiseppe BUTTI and recently spent a weekend in Edinburgh. We discovered a curbstone outside the address of the family shop (7 Queen Street) with the name BUTTI carved into it. The shop/house has been stripped inside and turned into open-plan offices.
I've just put our family tree WATSON onto Ancestry.co.uk.
Also very interested in finding out details of L G Butti's arrival in Britain...

Hi
Havn't come across a Louis GUISEPPE Butti, but the Queen St. adress was that of James Alexander Butti. I don't know when James's father Loius Joseph Butti came to Scotland, but in 1824, a company called ZENONE & BUTTI, carvers and gilders was dissolved. This company was owned by John Zenone & Loius Butti.
In March 1861, James Alexander Butti, carver & Gilder of Queen St. was charged with "Exhibiting indecent stereoscopic views for sale". James was eventually dismissed with an admonation.
In Jan 1884, there was an explosion in the shop of James Butti at 7 Queen st. James's son Louis liked to go shooting and was filling his own catridges, when the explosion occured. He was injured and taken to the Royal Infirmary. These articles are out of the Scotsman.
It's nice to know that there is a stone and next time I'm in Edinburgh I will go and see it.

Hi Fiona,
Great to hear from you. We found a couple of wills online but hadn't been through any local papers so it was great to hear a bit more about the Buttis.
I thought Louis Joseph was Luigi Guiseppe. (Died 26 SEP 1868, South Leith, Midlothian, Scotland.)Does that tie up with what you have?

Hi
Just looked back my info. Loius Butti, Glassmaker, Leith Wynd married 1st to Elspeth Waterston(she was residing in Forfar) in 1822.
Louis Butti, Shopkeeper, Leith married 2nd Elizabeth Mitchell 23 Nov 1829. They were married by Rev James Mckay, Catholic Clergyman.
In 1841 they were residing in Leith and Louis was an Optician
In 1851 they were residing at 2 Springfield, Leith and Loius was a Carver & Gilder
In 1861 still at 2 Springfield again Carver & Gilder. Just says Italy as birthplace.
Elizabeth died in 1867 at 2 Springfield and Loius died in 1868, sameplace, parents unknown
Thats basically all I have on him
Fiona
