Seeking Information Regarding Butlers/Bretons in Canada & Maine
Edmond Marchetti 3/29/12
From familysearch.org
The first Felix immigrated as a child in 1866-67, wife Mary immigrated abt 1870.Marriage abt 1879.
Maybe by searching some of the children you will find out more.No son named George listed, unless that was a middle name or Harry/Henry was George's nickname?Or maybe at age 15 George was no longer living at home, but working in a local mill?1900 census does give month/yr of birth for each.Also might help.
The second Felix died in MA at age 60 according to his death cert.So he has to be a different Felix Burton.
OR maybe some of the other names will ring a bell.
Good Luck
