Kilkenny / Re: Looking for Philip Butler

Hi Susan 300.
First of all thank you for getting in touch with me.

I think the information you have is for my family. Philip Butler was a stone mason and they did live in St Pancras,
There was a son called Philp who went to Australia in 1853. he was married to a lady called Ester Frances, I have been told he had 8 children.

I have Philip and Katherine as having 5 children
Michael, Philip, Matilda, John and Elizabeth.

Stone masonry runs in the family as my husbands Grt grandfather Michael was a stone mason and I think his father John was also a stone mason.
The ended up living in Bangor North Wales and work building the  Menai bridge.

We were told that Philip Butler originally came from Ireland but have yet to find this info to be true.

I would love for you to let me have the info you have just told me about if you would be so kind as to share.

Thank you once again for getting in touch

Pat

Kilkenny / Looking for Philip Butler
« on: Thursday 10 March 16 13:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,
I am trying to find the parents and siblings of Phillip Butler born about 1800, believed to of lived in the Kilkenny area.
I have had help from a previous post by some very kind people with census and marriage records.
All the info I have is from when he came to live in England where he married Catherine Durkin in Middlesex on  19 January 1820.  He and his family then went to live in Bangor North Wales both Phillip and his son Micheal who were stone masons worked building the Menai bridge
I have lots of info after that date but am hitting a brick wall on the Irish connection from his birth backwards to parents etc.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Thank you to everyone for your help.
These census records are so confusing. Is place of birth a mistake often made on census records?
Yes they did live in Middlesex when they first came over to England. Phillip worked for Thomas Telford and was chosen to work on the Menai bridge. This is why they ended up settling in Bangor North Wales.

Looks like the Irish records seem to be the problem as I can only find a Philip married to an Catherine Homes.

Once again thank you all for your help very much appreciated

Hi Trish1120
We are unsure if they went back to Ireland and then came back to England. It shows Micheal as being born in Ireland about 1826, that is why we are unsure.

Thank you,
I now have all the census records from 1841.

My brick wall seems to be finding Phillips parents in Ireland.
I have managed to search from when they came to live in England and then moved to Wales to work on the Menai bridge over to Anglesey.  They lived in Bangor North Wales from then on.

Your help is much appreciated
Thank you again

Trish1120 you are correct, sorry it is Catherine Durkin he married.

His son was also a stone mason and some of his children were born in England.

He also worked in Wales building the bridge over to Anglesey
