The name "Harry"is interesting. Can you date these names? That could be important. My Butler ancestor shipped from MIlford Haven, Wales to Saybrook (now CT) in the late 17 C., nor do I think that you'll find that Butler is a very common Irish name. The Butler Society (UK) may be of help. It comprises all kinds of Butler families (including the Austrian and German branches), and those interested in the name. However, those Butlers were Anglo-Irish and the sept has migrated, in the main to England. The last Marquis lived in Illinois.
