buttevant resident

[mt2016]

my grandfather's birth record shows that he was born buttevant resident.  can anybody tell me what this means.  I understand that buttevant is in county cork, ireland

[aghadowey]

Buttevant is in Co. Cork, Ireland but could it be a census record from England or Wales (rather than his birth certificate) that says "buttevant resident"?
Perhaps if you post more details from that record we can help further.

[mt2016]

In the 1901 census my grandfather is shown as being a resident of Duke of York's Royal Military Asylum, which I understand was for the education of the children of regular soldiers.  The record shows that he was born in Ireland.

Does he have a name so we can all see for ourselves and maybe help you with your query?

[mt2016]

His name was Charles Grist.  I must tell you that I loved him very much, he was a perfect Granddad, but I never thought to ask him anything about his roots.  I am so angry with myself.

Well I can't find him on the English census in 1901,maybe you could give some more info, I am really struggling here to try and help.

Well found Giggsy,I was looking for someone born in Buttevant Resident 

Ahhh I think I have found him where he is mentioned as a Buttevant (Resident) It is on the census after the one Griggsy mentioned.

I suggest that you look at the image and read the column above Birthplace,people had to answer an extra question if they were anywhere other than England or Wales.

So what are you trying to find out about him?

[carol8353]

This might be his marriage? If you get the cert (£9-25 from the GRO) you will find out who his father was and what he did,sometimes witnesses can be useful family members too,although not quite so often if the person was not born locally,unless other family members came over here too.
