COMPLETED Claud Butler of Fulham - with Carmarthenshire COMPLETED

[lizzieliza]

Hi there.
Could some please look up the Butler family for me please?
Claud was born in Fulham in July 1903. I have no idea as to names of siblings or parents. Would appreciate any help you can give.
Many thanks.

Hi Liz,

A Claud Butler born 14th July 1903 was christened 23 October 1904 at Immanuel Streatham, parents John Morgan Butler (Draper) and Mary Ethel, of 6 Waldemar Avenue Fulham Road. A brother Geoffrey Howard George Butler born 7th Mar 1902 was christened the same day.

If you search for Claud on the 1911 census index, I have a feeling you might find him as 'Clara' in Kingston district, Surrey.

A John Morgan Butler marries a Mary Ethel Wotton in March quarter 1901, West Ashford district 2a 1060.

I see a birth registration for a Mary Ethel Wotton in West Ashford in 1873. Let's see if we can find them together in 1901 ...

in the meantime, this looks like a good match for her in 1881:

RG11/946 76 1

(added: not sure where she's hiding in 1891 - the rest of the family is at RG12/699 78 1)

Wow, Tati, what a quick response! I'm amazed 
Yes, you have the right Claud (famous cycle maker), I know he also had a sister, have no knowledge of her name though, only that she married a Fred Pratt.
I really appreciate the help you are giving me. Many many thanks.

Birth registration
Joan M Butler mother's maiden name Wotton
Dec 1911 Kingston 2a 742

(There's a marriage in 1932 to Frederick H Pratt, again in Kingston district)

This is a bit odd, mind, because the 1911 census already seems to show a sister Joan age 5 months.

Another possible sister:
Margaret C P Butler mother's maiden name Wotton
Dec 1912 Kingston 2a 758 


I'm not having any luck finding John and Mary in 1901 so far

Hi Tati.
I have been trying to find Claud on the 1911 census, typing in the name Clara, as suggested, but with no luck! I have also tried putting in his fathers details which you kindly supplied, but still nothing. I tried to use the 1911 site when it first started, to find another relative, but again failed to turn up anything, and yet a cousin put in the exact same info and found the details she was looking for. really doesn't make sense to me?
Thank you for finding Joan.

When I do a search on John Morgan Butler, I get one and only one hit. Sorry, don't know why it doesn't work for you

Have managed to get into the census at last!

Ah, good! In case you have an opportunity to view the actual details, let me know where it says John was born
