About Sarah Butler

Sarah was a younger sister of William John Butler, my paternal grandfather. For many years I thought he had only one brother (Joseph Butler - my great uncle) as I was unable to find any of his other siblings. However, a bit of diligence combined with a bit of luck helped me find Sarah and several others.

In 1891, at the age of 5, Sarah was living with her parents and siblings at 10 Leconfield St, Cleator, Cumberland, England.

In 1901, at the age of 15, Sarah was living at 5 Beeby Street, Workington, Cumberland, England with her aunt, Mary (Ferguson) Cunningham, (her mother, Annie's, sister,) and family. She is marked on the census as a 'niece' and a 'Domestic Servant', so she was out to work at an early age. This would make sense as Sarah's mother, Annie (Ferguson) Butler had passed away in 1896, when Sarah was 10.

I am not 100% sure what happened to Sarah, but it is feasible that she married a Richard Fitzwilliams in 1917 at the age of 31. However, more research needs to be done before I can be confident that Richard's Sarah Butler is our Sarah Butler.
