Northamptonshire / Re: BUTLIN
« on: Tuesday 29 March 05 12:11 BST (UK)  »
Not sure if could be related bu I have a Fanny Butlin married into my family in 1800's. Around 1860 I think?  I will check my files and come back with more details as I get them. We did chase down a little bit of her family tree.  Anyway, hope I can be of some help.
I too find it difficult to gather info on the family from Australia to England.

Thanks ticker you have passed on some good info.
Billy56, I'm not too sure if we are talking the same line; I don't have an Elizabeth anywhere yet. Thanks though I appreciate your thoughts.
I've got back to a George born around 1836 but can't seem to trace his dad.  All I know is his name was Charles and he was a labourer. If I can follow the patriachal line back as far as I can first then I will start on all the spouses and children to gather a bigger picture.
However, coming back to John Thomas Shortland, born around 1863 and a shoe pressman. According to our records he was married to a Mary Halpin (b 23/10/1882) and then married to a Frances Emmie Goodman, only date here was 16/04/1906 - marriage I think?  No one seems to have any record of these two ladies. I have been told by my sister that Frances was apparently illiterate - could that open the door to different spelling of the family name.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

My last message left some things out so here goes again.
I am trying to trace my family roots but have hit a snag. I appear to have gone back a few generations but seem to come up with a dead end. I'll briefly lay out what I know and if there is someone out there who can help PLEASE DO!!!

Dad, Michael born about 1935
His dad Thomas born 1913 married to Irene Ansell.
His dad John Thomas born around 1863 - a shoe pressman from Little Harrowden, Northampton.  married to 1: Mary Halpin apparently from Ireland, then 2: Frances Emmie Goodman (M: 1906?)
His dad: George an Ironmongers porter. Born around 1836 and married to Fanny Butlin (M 26/08/1860) Apparently lived 3 Cobleys Cottages, Wellingborough, Northampton.
