Eleanor Frances Butler, née Greene (1848 - unknown)

I think I have found the son, Charles Butler.

In WWI, he is Charles Butler, born 31/12/1888 in Islington ("my" Charles Butler was 13/12/1888, Islington).
Charles S Butler marries Eva Stanton - GRO Reference: 1914 D Quarter in ISLINGTON Volume 01B Page 720
In 1921 (Census), he is Charles Butler, aged 32y 6m (makes him end of October 1888)
In 1939 (Register) he is Charles South-Butler, born 31/12/1888.
At death, CHARLES SOUTH BUTLER, GRO Reference: 1972 M Quarter in ISLINGTON Volume 05C Page 1871, dob 31/01/1889.

I can't find two Charles Butlers, registered in Islington 1888/89.  I can't find a reason for the "SOUTH" bit?  Possibly his biological father's name?

It does look possible. But I am concerned that in 1911 your man is an Electrics engineer, where as Charles South Butler is a bus conductor.
Having said that..I cannot see a 1911 bus conductor of that name. (With or without the S)

Hi,

I'm late to this thread but I hope this helps with Charles South BUTLER. His British Royal Air Force, Airmen's Service Records,

Charles South BUTLER
Service number:   293372
Attestation date:   07 Sep 1918
DOB:  31 Dec 1888
Occupation:   Conductor (l g o c) & armature assembler

Marriage date:  14 Nov 1914
Spouse:  Eva
Child DOB:   Vera   22 Jun 1918


An armature assembler would be a type of electrical engineer so it joins the two together


Regards,
Daisy

Yes, that's where I got the WWI dob from in my post.

His father in law worked on the buses - possibly got him the job on return from war, hence the rather unusual switch in careers. There's also a newspaper article about him being cautioned for stealing a newspaper - he was 70 and although interesting, does not help with identification.

Perhaps Charles South Butler's father, disclosed (or not) at marriage would confirm it? I can't find it on Ancestry?

Is that the marriage you are looking for?  You can apply for a copy of the certificate for further details.
