Dear Whipby,
I am sure you are on the right track. I have a son Joseph born to John Butler and Rosamunde Halton in 1782, so I am sure this is the right family. The information I have is:
John Butler and Rosamund Halton (from the IGI) were married at St. Mary's, Sutton in Ashfield on 16th May, 1780, and children baptised at the Independent Congregation Chapel in sutton in Ashfield are:
Joseph b. 25th July, 1782, baptised 17th December
1787
Sarah, b. 25th June, 1784 - bap. 17th Dec. 1787
John, b. 28th June, 1786, bap. 17th December, 1787
From the NHFS Burial Index - Sutton in Ashfield, Rosamund Butler - wife of John Butler, buried 15th July, 1806
Samuel Butler (m. gt.gt.grandfather) born 1798 died in Grantham in 1855.
Other children of John Butler and Rosamund Halton are:
James - 1791
Anne - 1800
Nelly - 1789
Rosamund - 1793
Susannah - 1796
Samuel - 1798
William - 1805
Samuel Butler married Martha Bullimore in Grantham in 1823. They were living in Melton Mowbray in the 1841 census and at Grantham in the 1851 census.
Their daughter Sarah Anne married John Reece in Grantham in 1856 , then moved to Scotland. Sarah Anne Butler died in Fort William in 1883. They were my gt.grandparents. (I was born in fort William before migrating with my family to Tasmania in 1952).
Let me know if all this makes sense! and good luck.
