BUTLER family somewhere in Australia?
I would like to trace long lost cousins in Australia!
My great great grandfather, Henry BUTLER and his wife Mary Yeoman HARDING had a large family in the Somerset & Wiltshire areas of England.My great grandmother was Mary Ellen BUTLER. Mary Ellen BUTLER married Frederick Bond COWL. Mary Ellen had 9 brothers and sisters.
I know that at least two of the BUTLER's went over to Australia and after WW2, my father, Michael COWL having finished serving in the Royal Navy, visited his cousins in Australia!
I know that Florence Mary Butler married a Samuel Ethelbert, eldest son of Samuel Grey KING of Melbourne, Australia on September 22nd 1890.
I know that Herbert William Henry BUTLER married Ella Francis Mary PAIN , eldest daughter of a Henry PAIN in Sydney, Australia on August 24th, 1898.
I hope that somebody will be able to make the link.I look forward to hearing from anybody who might be able to help!
Thanks.
