Kim sorry me again, I should have kept reading then may have found your other information, you have gone further than me, anyway, on some of the stuff I have it has been suggested that James Mostyn alias Butler took the Butler name because he was living with his sister Jane and she had married a Butler, I dont have any subscriptions with any of the ancestry sites, but you may be able to find it, and if you do I would love to know if we are Mostyns or Butlers, by the way I am Sherrill McLauchlan (nee Keen) my mum was my grandmothers only child
