Are You Sitting Comfortably Part 2

[ShaunJ]

Euclid is travelling with Mary Elizabeth Butterworth age 37, housewife,

Nearest Relative in Country where Alien came from

Euclid...
Brother JB Butterworth, 65 The Chase, Clapham C......?, London
Aunt Mrs. Sharp

Mary Elizabeth
89 Northgate Clarkheaton (?), York
Sister Mrs. Sunderland

Looking at the manifest, I think Mrs Sharp is actually Mary Elizabeth's relative, and Mrs Sunderland belongs to the next person on the list.

In 1911 there's this Sharp in Halifax:

Sharp W Harness & Portmanteau manufacturer 89 Northgate

[ShaunJ]

Found Joseph Steads Butterworth in Cheam, Surrey in 1901 mistranscribed as Joseph S Butte Worth. He's married but on his own RG13/578 68 11.

[ShaunJ]

Per the 1905 London suburbs directory the occupant of 65 The Chase, Clapham was definitely J S Butterworth.

Have posted a query on the "Yorkshire - West Riding" lookup requests board concerning the occupants of 89 Northgate Cleckheaton in 1910.

Palmer's index has a reference to a Times article 16 August 1876 (Page 11 col e) concerning  Butterworth, Joseph Steads, in trouble for assault. I had a look in the Times Digital Archive but couldnt find the article - can anyone else see it?

There are divorce proceedings reported in 1900 - Butterworth vs Butterworth and Glenswick which could well be one of his - it mentions that the petitioner holds a position with the School Board. (10 July 1900 page 14 col e)

OK found it - it's the edition of August 18th 1876, not the 16th. Joseph Steads Butterworth burst in on Henry Percy and Zilpha Ormerod at 18 Wilton Road Pimlico, saying he'd "come for that girl" and proceeded to bludgeon Percy with a lead weighted truncheon. Percy tried to withdraw the charge of assault (but the judge wouldn't allow it) and  he said he had lent Butterworth £3 so that he could marry Zilpha (whch he duly did). Butterworth was remanded on bail of £50.

Oh my !!

Couldn't have bludgeoned him too bad .... if he still lent him 3 quid !!
