Hello, Carol B,
Could this be a marriage for Priscilla Butcher?
Marriage Dec ¼ 1863 Wandsworth 1d 766
Priscilla Butcher to either
William Ewell or
Henry James Lee.
On checking these two spouses's names in the 1871 census I found this.
1871 census
RG10/698 folio 101 page 14
8, Chapel Close, Clapham, Surrey
James Henry Lee head age 29 Fly Driver b Olney, Somerset.
Priscilla wife age 33 b East Grinstead, Sussex
Malvina dau age 6 b Wandsworth, Surrey
Walter son age 4 b Tooting Surrey
Charles son age 2 b Carshalton, Surrey
I could not find anything in the 1871 census for Benjamin & Catharine Butcher that fitted. There were entries for a Benjamin Butcher but not with a Catharine, nothing that really seemed right & would have meant that Catharine would have died sometime 1861-'71, but again no death was found that fitted or for a remarriage for Benjamin. So I went back to basics & found a marriage.
Benjamin to a Catharine Yarrington, 31st Aug. 1834 St Nicholas, Brighton (IGI)
I then found the bapt for
Priscilla Butcher
2nd Apr. 1837 Angmering Sussex
This does not fit with East Grinstead in the 1871 census but is in keeping with the marriage for Benjamin & Catharine & her brother's births on the Sussex coast near Brighton
Birth entries
Benjamin Butcher
Mar ¼ 1839 Worthing 7 480
William Butcher
either Dec ¼ 1842 Brighton 7 260
or Mar ¼ 1843 Worthing 7 541
I have found Benjamin & Catharine in the 1851 census in South Stoneham, Hampshire, do you have the details ? I can send a transciption if you wish. I also have Catharine & the children plus probably Benjamin snr's parents in the 1841 census in Patching, Sussex but no Benjamin snr is with them.
I hope this all makes some sense to you, get back to me if you wish for the 1841 & '51 census details.
Meliora
