My husband is a Butler on his late mothers side.
Her name was Mary Agnes Butler born 4th May 1913 to Thomas Butler born 9 May 1883 at Coolanick, Oylegate and Johanna Murphy 1 Jan 1886 of Courtnacuddy, Wexford who married 30th April 1906. Their witnesses were Katie Butler and David Redmond (They themselves married each other in about 1906.
Thomas and Johanna had 6 children in total:
Pierce born 1906
John born 1908
Catherine born 1909
Mary Agnes born 1913
Arthur born 1917 and
Michael born 1919
Thomas died in about 1957 and I have the newspaper obituary.
Johanna died in 1920 of a bleed on the brain in the hospital of the local workhouse, Thomas re-married a Mary Kehoe who it seems was the architypical Step Mother from Hell.
John moved to Oxford in England, met and married a lady called Irene Winifred Maisey in 1936. They had two children. John died in 1975, Irene in 1970.
Catherine appears to have become pregnant, was taken to Dublin where she gave birth to a daughter Annie Theresa Butler in 1935. Annie contacted us through a friend some years ago but nothing from her for some time.
Mary Agnes passed away in December 1985.
I have no additional information on Pierce, Catherine, Arthur or Michael.
