I am looking for the Butler family when most of them were born in Lancashire, Cheshire and Liverpool from around 1870, some of the parents were born before in Derbyshire. I have noticed that a man called Robert Green has a tree on this site and I have messaged him because he also has lots of my Butler family but the message has not been opened! So I am looking for him for some help but don't know how to find him! thanks.

If the message hasn't been opened then it is possible that he no longer uses the site. If he still has the same email address that he registered with Genes then he should be notified that he has a message from you.

Unfortunately if he doesn't open your message then there is nothing you can do.

Quick look in search trees suggests that Robert joined site about 2007/2008 ish ( from membership number) so he may well not be a member now.

he has in his tree Elizabeth Butler 1849
Place of Birth: LIVERPOOL

in case that helps :-)

HI thanks to you all for looking at the Butlers. I have just ordered a copy of Louisa Butlers 1887 birth certificate to make sure exactly who her parents are which would also be who Peter Butlers parents are as I think they were oldest brother and youngest sister! I also think that their parents were William and Elizabeth Butler as I have several census copies and as I said before William was born in Derbyshire. Thanks.

You didn't mention any forenames when you posted originally, which is why all of the info I posted above is speculative

Is THIS the Louisa you have now mentioned?

Births Dec 1887 (>99%)
Butler Louisa Toxteth Park 8b 208

If it is, her mother was SIMPSON prior to her marriage
