Hi Trish

hi Jeanette
your welcome alway pleased to help the OZ's out

ricky

I did notice you were very busy paddling through the census in the common room - finding lots of entries - well done - you must be getting very fit

There is a very interesting website I visited just a few minutes ago that some of you might like to have a look at. Make sure you scroll down the page a bit.

Very interesting dee. Well, it looks as though she already has a reasonable knowledge of these ancestors. Perhaps WDYTYA will concentrate on her mother's side of the family?

I do hope you can make sense of the 6 or so PMs that I've sent you - the Scottish info was semi-correct but the name was Butter(s)/Buttar from Perth and they married in Glasgow!

William's parents -

Robert Butter. b. 1803 and Mary Fenwick b. 1801 - both Perth - married 1828, Perth

Now I've got their parents names, I could go further but i think it's all on the IGI

(So Gadget, you're Dee's friend overseas  ).

The Buttrose family is looking very intersting already.

Ruskie, my summary might include her mother's side of the family too!    
It does seem as though she knows quite a bit about her ancestors......so it will be interesting to see how the show is presented, won't it?
Oooh.....can't you imagine us sitting there watching it and making comments out loud!  

Gadget.....many thanks.....PMs received.

My brief outline of what I discovered about the family history of Ita Buttrose has taken almost 2 pages!

I've decided not to post it on here, in case it is Ita's paternal line that is the subject of the new show. Wouldn't like to spoil it for anyone, although maybe it is her maternal line that has been followed.....I couldn't find anything for that in the time I have spent.  I have to thank Gadget too for her invaluable help.

I have PMed my findings to several people who wanted to know. If anyone else would like a copy, please let me know and I'll willingly PM them.

Thank you very much for all your work Dee and Gadget.

Who's the next victim then?
