I am hoping to make contact with Butler family members in the Lincoln area
of England to solve a family mystery that is sure to be still talked about!
My grandmother, Annie Butler died in 1974 and it was only two weeks after
her death that we found out she was illegitimate. It seems that her father
James Butler and mother Margaret Allen were not married until 1913 - well
after the birth of their three daughters. The reason became obvious -
Margaret Allen was married in Lincoln on 25 Dec. 1884 to a William Allis
and had two children to him, Rose born 1885 and George Henry born 1886.
Now sometime between the years 1886 and 1893 she did leave her husband and
travel to Australia with James Butler and assumed a married life with him.
Are there any Butler's out there who can assist me unravel the whys and
wherefors of this family mystery? Leanne.
