Hi Sandymc
You seem to have been busy with this, thank you so much for your interest in helping solve this. I notice the information you have found on Margaret is proberbly from my family tree on Ancestry.co.uk as i have a picture of Margarets death cert on there.
I am from Thornaby and still living here. Not sure but you may have a little confusion on whos who so I will try to may more sense of it.
Thomas Butler snr (my granddad) may have come from this area, as you have found possibly Middlesbrough or hartlepool this is part of the mistery I dont know who he is. Margaret Rogers (my grandmother) was born in Thornaby and met Thomas somewhere in this area. They both moved down to Nottingham in 1938 living at 10 Ethel Grove, Meadows (How would you get a house in 1938 when most people seemed to live on top of each other?) Margaret gave birth to my dad (Thomas Butler jnr) in 1940, but when Margaret died in 1943 my dad returned to Thornaby to live with Margarets Parents and his Dad Thomas snr went back to Nottingham to live and disappeared in 1947. I have found a Marriage in 1948 for Thomas Butler and Emily Hall in Basford, this seems to be the only lead I may have but still dont know if it is him. I really dont know where else to look.
Kind regards
Ian Butler
