In 1881 Charles and wife Matilda were living in Camberwell, London. Charles born abt 1848 Westminster and Matilda abt 1845 Westminster. Matilda appears to have died 1919 Paddington but in order to find Charles death I need to know where they were living. His name is too common.

This looks like them in 1891:-

The Mitilada S Butler aged 73 in 1919 in Paddington is actually single in the 1911 census, so I don't think she is 'yours'

Too bad about 1919 death because my Matilda was born Matilda Sarah. Common names are a frustation.

Thanks - much appreciated

I know you weren't looking for this, but, I've been having a look for Matilda and her first husband in 1871 but can't find anything with them together, so I was wondering if this may be her, with Charles Butler ????

I've checked original and name does look like Butler:-

On marriage to Matilda, Charles gives his occupation as Driver and here the occupation of Chas is Shopman. Could be, however, that he was a driver for a shop doing deliveries???

You probably have this, but fault of finding anything else, here it is anyway:-
