Thanks bitza interesting ...but still to make a link to the character Charlie Pugh / Walsh ...be  nice to make claim to a mile long diorama...or  Charles walsh pugh do you think he is the publican / actor or another? Another extension of the name has Butler incorporated?

Craig

This is true!

Yes, I saw that 'Butler' middle name.  I wonder where that came from.  I worked out that Eliza DINIGHAN and Elizabeth Ann BLYTH must be the same person.  Perhaps DINIGHAN was Elizabeth's mothers maiden name, depending on how the clerk asked the question when Augusta Susan was registered in 1853.  Perhaps the clerk asked, 'mothers maiden name' so she gave her mothers maiden name instead of the babies and that's why it reads DINIGHAN and not BLYTH.

It seems Elizabeth never married William PATTERSON.

Back to WALSH/PUGH... Do you know what happened to Ellen Laura BALLANTYNE or Elizabeth STEPHENS?!

At Augusta's marriage in 1872 she knew her father to be a 'Publican'.

His obit is a good read but doesn't mention any family:

His DC may be interesting but I'd be worried it wouldn't be accurate regarding his marriages and children if he's your man.

Craig

It's possible there was a second baby John, or John changed his age a bit when he married Augusta.  He was ALOT older than her!

Where are your PRITCHARD's from?!

In your research into this woman, how often have you seen her referred to as Elizabeth. How often as Eliza?

While Eliza can be a shortened version of Elizabeth, it is also a name on its own and the differentiation may be important.
