Annie, you said I was bewildered...

The word is weak... you can also add that I am drowned, dropped, lost, buried etc. .. 

BUT : you can also say that I am overwhelmed by all this incredible research work done by your wonderful team of sleuths.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart

I don't know about sleuths Michel, I think they're ruddy magicians!!!   They've done a magnificent job.

But what is the link between Hugh Thornton (father) and Euclid Hope Butterworth?
Could they be the same person?

Is it just me who thinks that the  ew  in Hugh sounds like the ew in Euclid ? :

Of course they're the same person!

Note he's named as  "Euclid Hope Butterworth" Thornton on his son's death certificate.

One of these days Michel we'll get to the bottom of this mystery .... we just don't know when !!   sit back and just enjoy the ride ..... because we don't know either ..... YET !!  

I think that's what everybody is thinking Reiver !!  

[ShaunJ]

Now - back to the UK and Euclid's other family - I wonder if his son Roy Steads Butterworth had children - and did he leave a Will?

Oh Shaun !! .......  ............ I think another pot of coffee is in order here !!

There are fuller details (Notes and Sources) about the Pedigree Resource File entry via www.familysearch.org.  Search for baptism Hugh  Thornton in 1911 in England.  There maybe somebody who is more familiar with getting at this material.
