Can't find a birth for Garibaldi Butterworth (what an interesting name !!)

Do you have a birth ref or a ref for any census please?

P.S. - Just realised - you have put Garibaldi's dob as 1901 above, yet his closest sibling was born about 50 years previously ??

Could you confirm these dates please?

Are you sure about Garibaldi's birth date? John and Amelie would have been in their 80s in 1901!

The birth cert of one of the children would give you Amelia's maiden name and then you could look for a marriage. That cert would give you both partners father's names and then you could look on the 1841 census to see if John was living with his parents.

Was just about to post that Helen, - good job I checked as everyone keeps going 'snap'!! today

I am interested in this one - I will explore further as I have both a Butterworth and a Wood connection in that area.

Who knows?....... perhaps I will actually connect to one of 'mine' for a change!

You don't have to, Helen.

I am sure Lesley will appreciate as much help as possible and you are doing really well so far.

I will look again through mine and see if I can come up with any connection from that angle which might help.
