William Butlin grson  2      Cape Colony

From Wikipedia....
Billy Butlin was born in Cape Town, South Africa. His father, also called William Butlin, was the son of a clergyman but his mother, Bertha Hill, was a member of a family of travelling showmen. Their marriage was considered something of a disgrace in Leonard Stanley, Gloucester, UK, where they lived, and they were encouraged to emigrate to South Africa. When the marriage failed, Billy’s mother returned to England with her children and rejoined her own showmen family in Bristol.

Yes I suppose between all of us on here we must have a mountain of odd facts at our fingertips (or that we can look up).
It's quite powerful if you think about it - just look at the amazing things that some of us have witnessed with photo restoration or the ability to find facts about a family that others haven't been able to on their own...
Isn't RC amazing!
I am researching the following families:
Hurst / Payne - Leicestershire / Warwickshire / Worcestershire
Toon(e) - Leicestershire
Batchelor / Foster - Warwickshire / Northamptonshire
Hardy - Dorset

My web site has the family tree showing.  I am researching primarily the Payne, Hurst, Foster and Batchelor lines in the Midlands.

Isn't it just amazing.   :)
This site has brought so many like minded folk together (from around the world) and also there is a huge pool of useful and (sometimes useless coz we all love trivia nonsense  ;D ) information.

I bet there is is not one single person on here that has not gained something new being part of this community.... I love it  :)

I just love trivia - and quizes too - lots of fun.
I think you are right Cal, pretty much everyone on here must have learned something from at least 1 other member...
Forget My Space - RC is the place for me - hmmm maybe that would make a good slogan :)

Hello all,  Sorry, I've not been about too much since returning to work & I've lost touch...has anyone decided yet when this is going to happen?  Week-ends are best for me or school holidays.

Debbie
