Title: Searching for information on Peter Butler
Post by: Trishmcc23 on Tuesday 26 January 16 21:06 GMT (UK)
Details I have are Peter was apparently born 1822 or thereabouts in Carrick on Shannon 5297.  He married Ann Gad in Hawick Roxburghshire on October 12, 1949 and died in Molong NSW Australia December 27 1889.   Any help would be appreciated.  He is my GGG Grandfather.

JJ just wondering, were Peter Butler's parents also born in Leitrim and if so do you happen to know where and when?  Thanks.
