De Butler
« on: Thursday 28 June 18 09:51 BST (UK) »
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!

Yes I can see why you are stuck  :-\

There's a Laura De Butler burial 6 Jan 1801 * St Pancras Old Church Camden.

Not sure if it will help but maybe a relative of your Louisa and provide an area to look.

* age 22 months
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

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.
