Hi Everyone
I have just been contacted by a descendent of Harriet Ann Steads and Richard Butterworth's daughter, Mary Hope Butterworth (a sister of the roguish Joseph Steads Butterworth and Euclid Hope Butterworth).
I have directed him to this thread as well as the Robert William Stead website, so hopefully he will sign in sometime. He didn't know about the Butterworths, so all of the research you all did will be of great benefit to him. Another distant relative for Robert.
Regards, Lyn
