Thankyou, I also saw the Charles Butt in Devon. That's good to know the dates rule him out.

The Police Record mentions that he was born in Islington

I think this might well be him in 1881 listed him as Charles R Butt https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27S-6P65

A Charles Richard Butt   married an Elizabeth Richardson at St Thomas, Lambeth on 31 Mar 1881 with father listed as Henry Butt (dead)   

Charles in 1861 with father Henry?? https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2ML-H1YN

Thankyou, I've just been going through these records. It does look like a good possibility. I noticed that Henry and Elizabeth dont have any children together. I can't seem to read his occupation on the census, can you make out what it says?

In 1881 he is listed as a Messenger  I think

I noticed there was a birth of Charles Richard Butt in 1849 in  Islington and in 1901 a Messenger Somerset House

Thankyou, yes I think it does say he is a messenger. I couldn't figure it out what it said. In 1911 hes a retired civil servant.

On the 1881 Census where he is listed as a messenger, he shares the property with a John Seager, born Ipswich.
The 1872 GRO record (Gertrude) shows mother's maiden name "Seager" while the 1877 GRO record (Charles Walter) shows Teager

[Kay99]

I noticed that as well but I think based on the children living with their grandmother Barbra Teager in 1881 that the mother's maiden name was Teager  and Seager was a mistranscription https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27D-TT32

It was the fact that he was from Suffolk that made it so intriguing!

Yes - a puzzle is always more interesting
