HI

If you click on Mollyrose's (Jo's) name it will give you further info and tell you that she has not been on this board since February this year.  If you look at other posts she has made maybe someone else is in more direct contact with her.  


I just hope for your sake that nothing  has happened to her.

If you can find one of her posts again, even tho it is an old post click, on the little icon below here name and avatar- it's on left hand side of the page in the side column.  It will show "personal message". click on that and it will bring you to a box in which you can type her a message asking her to contact you howver you wish to do that- thru RC or on your own email. Press Post  then sit and wait.

If you also click on the other little icon it will show "profile"... go to that and it will tell you when her most recent visit to RC was. Gives you an idea if she's till logging on to RC.  If she is she will receive your PM the next time she connects.

let us know how this goes- and if I haven't made it clear get back and ask.
I'm going off line for a while but will be back in an hour or so.
Good luck

Rod, leave a Personal Message and if she comes back online to RC she'll get it when she logs on.
Hope it works out.

thankyou Rod Butler

Hi Rod,
John & Catherine had 3 children Maggie, Patrick & Kathleen.  Maggie is still living and has just turned 98.  I am her granddaughter.  All her family are still living in Whiteabbey.  I have just begun to research John Butler and found some records relating to him.  Kathleen died recently but all her family are living in Edinburgh.  We are all still in touch.  I hope this helps.  I have some documents just received yesterday that list all of Johns sisters and half brothers and sisters.
Henry was also known as Harry and he lived in Flanders where he tended the graves.  he later returned to Whiteabbey to live with Maggie and we think he died whilst living in a nursing home in Bangor, Co DOwn
The Jo you are looking for is Kathleens daughter and lives in Edinburgh, i am in contact.

I see that you are in Australia, my Aunt Pauline, daughter of Maggie is in Newcastle near Sydney and Maggies son Michael is in NZ

I am John's great grand-daughter.  John died on 27th October 1914 - battle at La Basse- Neuve Chapelle.

I have attached a photo of Maggie(*)
