Mike, How can I ever thank you!! Think I'll have to bow and scrape when I come to Blaby tomorrow!! Still can't get over the fact that my John has gained SO many rellies in the last few days it's amazing!! The bad news for him is that I am on the trail of his mother in law!! See you tomorrow.

Hee Hee Hee!! Think i've sussed who "my" Henry was living with in 1841!! Think Thomas Henry had a sister Sarah - found this on the St Margaret's marriage index - slight discrepancy in the year - but that could be down to transcription.... http://www.geocities(.)com/Heartland/Pond/1598/bpage.html BUTLER SARAH, 1842, JOHN LANE, 2 My next mystery is to suss out if Thomas Edward the Chemist (born c. 1819, All Saints) fits into the picture - family lore says he doesn't, but I have a hunch he does..... could he be a nephew to Henry???????????????? Can't believe that in just a few short days, John Butler has gone from being just a name on a marriage cert, to having a whole family of his own!! Thanks to Mike for his input.

Hi Mike I hope so, when I blew up the image I thought it might be Hurst so it's a good omen!!! Will look into 'The Hursts' now as on Albert's wedding certificate William Ward and Eliza Stretton are the witnesses so I have a good feeling about this lead Elaine
