    1. [BKM] Butler in Wycombe

    3. Dear Listers, I haven't posted anything to the list for quite a while, but have a problem that I wish to ask for help with. My GGG Grandad was Louis Butler, born in Blockley, Worcestershire in abt 1845. He appears on the 1881 census as living with his family in 60, Easton Street, Wycombe. Louis' daughter Elizabeth Louise was my GG Grandmother. My grandad, before he died, told me that William Butler, the editor of the Bucks Free Press, was also an ancestor of mine. But I can't find a connection between Louis Butler & William Butler. Can anyone help please? I have found out that William Butler set up the BFP in 1856, died in 1885 & had a son Thomas Harsant Butler in Wycombe in the Dec qtr of 1851 (who succeeded his father as editor). Could it be that Louis & Thomas were brothers or cousins perhaps? Thank you for any help you can give. Amanda
