My BUTCHER family lived for over 200 hundred years in the Wonersh, Shamley Green, Bramley area of Surrey England and just headed over the border into Sussex about 1700. But, there has been several BUTCHER families that have trailed upto Putney, Hackney, Wandsworth areas. Does this connect to anyone? They are William, Thomas & Alfred BUTCHER all children of John and Mary BUTCHER. Now, John and Mary pose another problem. John was born in 1795 in Wonersh, the illeg son of James BUTCHER & Sarah WOOLGAR. They married in 1801 and had another son in 1802, my problem is this, I can not find John & Mary's marriage. I have checked under the names of BUTCHER & WOOLGAR, and come up with zilch. According to the 1851 Census Mary was born in Artington, and low and behold I found a marriage of a Mary Stevens (born Artington) and John Woolgar in nearby Hascombe, I was hopeful, Hascombe had family connections back in the 1700s, But alas, this is NOT my family as they were having offspring in Hascombe at the same time as my line were producing in Wonersh. I can establish that John lived his life as a BUTCHER, and he did inherit from his father, although substancially less than his younger brother. Does anyone have the answer?
