FreeBMD has Elijah BUTLER 1846 Q2 but not on GRO website. Same Q on FreeBMD also has Elijah BOOKER. That one is on the GRO, mmn KIMBER. And Elijah HERMAN mmn YATTLE. Some more Elijahs in the quarters following, it was a surprisingly popular name. Perhaps the child in question was adopted by family after death of his mother/parents? I know it happened more than we probably realise. A couple of my dead rellies ended up in AUS after their parents died, prior to their emigration they were with their uncle and aunt for one census. Easier in my case because surname was the same.
BTW I have BUTLERs also and I've done a DNA test, but my BUTLERS are probably too many generations back to have passed any significant amount of DNA on to me.
