Yes, says here that the records are accessible online via A'try and via microfiche from NSW Archives ...

I think it's A'try dataset 'NSW, Australia, Gaol Description and Entrance Books, 1818-1930' that had the information I found.  I'm not sure it's available via the NSW State Archives online search.

The only progress I made with this one was I found that the 1878 will of William Semple Waddell which mentions the executrix 'Mrs Margaret Waddell or Anderson, widow of James Anderson sometime artist in Melbourne thereafter in Sidney' (sic). 

This led me to look into NSW records a bit further and I found mention in the A'try dataset 'NSW Gaols 1818-1930' mention of a 'James Anderson, artist' born in Belfast who spent time in, I think, Darlinghurst gaol ... but no clear evidence as to which 'James Anderson, artist' this might have been of course.  This was a while ago and I no longer have a subscription so sorry I can't give more detail.

Thanks for your reply Milliepede, I hadn't noticed that before so that gives me something to go on.  I had wondered if the 'de' part of 'de butler' was an affectation on the mother's behalf but there is now a little evidence that seems it may not be.

Can anyone help me with this surname please?  I'm well and truly stuck. 
   
At the moment these are the only records I have for an ancestor, Louisa De Butler:

1834 marriage, St George's Hanover Square, 'Edward Frederick Towerzey and Louisa de Butler, both of this parish, married'
1841 census, Norton Street, Marylebone with husband and three oldest children, Louisa Towerzey aged 30, yes to born in county
1842 daughter's birth certificate where she is the informant, 'mother, Louisa Towerzey, formerly De Butler'
1842 daughter's Catholic baptism from St Patrick's, Soho Square.  It's in Latin and states mother as 'Ludovica de Buttler'
1848 burial record and death certificate are in her married name, both state she was 44 years of age

Thanks in advance for any help!

Bell's New Weekly Messenger, Sunday 17 March 1833
John Pearl, an old man of decent appearance, who keeps green-grocer’s shop in Tottenham-street, charged his daughter, Mary Anne, aged 16, with robbing him. The early indications of depravity displayed displayed by the girl had almost broken the hearts of her parents. She had absconded three times from them, taking with her on each occasion quantity of their property.  Once her father followed her 200 miles, and it was with great difficulty that he could persuade her to return home.  She lately absconded with several large bundles of wearing apparel, and she was traced to the lodgings of some disreputable females. The old man said it was a painful thing to prosecute a daughter, but he felt she was incorrigible.

Thanks so much for your help Rob, it's very kind of you.  I had discounted that one as it looks as if that person was aged 41 at their death (using the free search option on gro.gov.uk) whereas in 1857 the Edward I am searching for should have been around about 21.

No, I have that death certificate, that's the death of his father
