Hi Phinders
I am a descendant of William and Rebecca and still live about 2 miles from Ramsey!

I think you will find that William was Christened on 20 Nov 1774 in Ely (about 20 Miles from Ramsey) to George Butler and Mary Woodbine. William did indeed marry twice, firstly to Rebecca Lant and then Sarah Wright who I believe was herself a widow.

In terms of children of William and Rebecca my list agrees with yours except I additionally have a William Christened 7 March 1802 in Ramsey.

Have you managed to find out any more about Rebecca Lant?

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve
William Lant married Sarah Rattford in Ramsey 7.8.1761
Children of William & Sarah:
1762 John, 1766 Sarah, 1767 Elizabeth, Ann 1771, Susannah 1773
and Rebecca baptised 10.1.1776.
As you know Rebecca married William Butler (Buttler)

If you like, I can show you the Butler family tree that I have so far, I've been working on it in Genes Reunited.  I'm also interested in seeing how you're descended from William & Rebecca.  There are loads of census records for Butler's in Ramsey throughout the 1800's and most of them seem to be related. A couple of them were publicans.  My line of Butler's ended up in Middlesbrough in 1870. Then we immigrated to Australia in 1966.  Living so close to Ramsey you must be in an excellent position to access all the old records?

Hi Steve
Do you have any more info on the Butlers of Ramsey & Ely?
Also interested in more info on George Butler's 2nd wife Sarah Wright.  According to the info that I have she was only 17 when he married her and she was already a widow!? I suspect she was born 1780 not 1790.

This is as far back as I've gone so far:

GEORGE BUTLER
birth: September 1747 
christening: 26 September 1747, Holy Trinity Ely 
Marriage: 10 Mar 1769 Trinity, Ely, Cambridge, England
burial: 1794, Ely
spouse:   Mary Woodbine   
father:   William Butler
mother: Mary Greene?
 
MARY WOODBINE
christening: 16 May 1744, Trinity, Ely, Cambridge, England
father:   Henry Woodbine
mother:  Ellingale Woodbine
Marriage: 10 March 1769
Trinity, Ely, Cambridge, England
burial: 1805, Ely

ELLINGALE WOODBINE (nee Hull)
born 23 September 1706
Christening 23 Sep 1706 Trinity, Ely, Cambridge, England
father: Tho. (Thomas?) Hull
mother:   Mary 

Regards
Phil

Hi Phil

My descendency from William & Rebecca is via George (1798), John (1830), Robert Thomas (1870) and their son Leonard who was my Grandfather.

I wasnt aware that George married twice so unfortunately dont have any other information on her.

As far as George's parents are concerned I have :

William Butler Chr 29 Dec 1715, Ely Trinity
Marriage Mary Greene 1 Dec 1740 , Ely Trinity
Burial 1761 Ely
Occupation Fisherman
Parents George and Anne


Mary Greene
Chr 12 Nov 1720 Ely
Burial 1773 Ely
Parents Robert and Margaret

Children of William and Mary
Jon (1741), George (1747), Robert (1748), Mary (1750), John Green (1751), Thomas (1754), Anne (1759)

Hope this helps

Regards
Steve
