My grandmother had one of these jars, it was indeed used for butter and was put on the tables at mealtimes , no butter dish. She also had another ,but I can't remember what it was use for, but vaguely think it was used for dripping.

I have Edwin Mills ( b 1844) age 17 resident with his parents at 'The Prince Regent' , High St Heston, in 1861,but cannot find where he was in 1851. His parents , in 1851 were at the Prince Regent.
Can anymore find him also is the Prince Regent still in existance and is there anywhere I can find photos , both old and new.

Many thanks will contact them

Sorry for not answering all the replies, but have not been around much and things have been put on hold. It now transpires, from a distant cousin, that they may not have been part of this 'break out' but of an earlier one where they obtained some guards uniforms(?) or similar and walked out. More work to do but thanks for all your info, it has been very interesting.
As an aside, following a recent visit to Clonmel I have been able to obtain my dads Birth Cert, he was told his birth had never been registered and he always had to rely on his Baptismal Cert( which was incorrect )and this caused no end of problems. It took a lot of work in the records office and a very diligent  lady noticed an error in the records  which led to the discovery and has turned up a name nobody has ever heard of.

There was a small Military Hospital  in Clonmel during WW1, it was situated behind Kickham Barracks, which was used for wounded of the Irish regiments. Beleive there may have been another  in Tipperary town.
