if that is the family

then for convenient reference (minus all the repetition and scrolling), the household is

James Butler 1781 Lincolnshire
Sarah Butler 1781 Lincolnshire
Hannah Butler 1826 Lincolnshire
Anne Butler 1836 Lincolnshire
George Butler 1838 Lincolnshire

you have

Caroline b1812
* James b1817
Blyth Ashlin b1819
* Hannah b1824/5

(* info sought about)

I would think that Hannah was on the outside limit for being a child of Sarah, and the other two, Anne and George, were grandchildren?


if that is them, at least we do know that Hannah survived to 1841 :-)

do you know that James did in fact, and if so is there a census record?

JoonieCloonie Report 14 Jan 2016 00:58

if that is your family ... and I should wait for confirmation ...

and if you don't know the parents of young Anne and George it might be worth finding out in case one of the two missing persons were their parent

okay George was Caroline's son, so that doesn't help

and PollyPoppet does have the right household, this is it in 1851
