Mystery 'Nurse Child' Fred Talbot.

[Rosie May]

Last friday I noticed on another site a lady who had on her family tree the names of my Walter L Butler, Walter O Butler, Lionel Butler and Jane Ballantine 

I therefore subscribed to this site and sent her a p.m. and am eagerly awaiting a reply. 

Unfortunately she did not have my Grandad Frederick Butler on there but, who knows, she may have some knowledge of him.

I hope she has the courtesy to reply to me and I will let you know when she does.  In the meantime, I am so excited I cannot sleep as this is the first time I have come across anyone who appears also to be researching this family

Regards

Rosie

Have you found young Frederick in 1911 yet?

I can see that Walter Lovick(mistranscribed as Sovick) Butler is in Lambeth Workhouse,but Fred is not with him.

Just wondered if the 1911 would give you any more clues as to who he really was

Hi Carol - yes I have found Frederick on the 1911 census in Lambeth Workhouse as Inmate. Unfortunately there was no more information there other than I already knew.

I have also found the children of Walter O Butler in the Workhouse at this time and also their mother Charlotte.

its now 5 weeks since I sent a message to the lady on Genes Reunited who had Walter Butler, Jane Butler and sons on her family tree, which appeared to match mine with the names and dates etc.

Unfortunately she hasn't answered my message.  Obviously I am very disappointed but will continue checking several times a day in the hope she still may some day come across my message and reply, which will put me out of my misery one way or the other!
 
In the meantime I will carry on crossing my fingers and everything else and pray for a miracle.

Hi Rosie,

Have you checked your dent messages.  If there is still a purple envelope beside the name, the person has not opened your mail.  If it is not purple, she has opened her mail and got your message.

Hi Lynda 

Yes I checked to see if the mauve envelope sign was there and it was which, as you say, shows she hasn't read the message.

Luv Rosie

It may be that she's no longer a member of Genes Reunited then......shame.

Carol

Yes Carol it seems that way and I am well disappointed.

:)Well after what seems like an eternity I finally received a reply  from the GR member!

Her Great Grandmother Alice and my Fred's 'father' Walter Lovick Butler were brother and sister!!

Unfortunately though she doesn't have any information on Walters Sons other than their year and place of birth and this does not include Fred.

But she said she would have a look and see what she can find out as there may be something I could have over looked, as 'this quite often happens when you get overwhelmed with information' -(which I totally agree).

She kindly opened up her tree for me in the hope that I may spot something of interest that she overlooked.

I have looked at her tree but haven't seen anything which may be promising.

However I will keep you people informed of any further developments and thank you for your interest.  Hopefully, one day we will get to the bottom of this mystery.

Thank you

Rosie
