I've been going round in circles with this -
From the IGI I have the following children of Joseph Butcher and Mary (poss. Underhay) baptised at either St Leonard's, Shoreditch or Christchurch, Spitalfields
Ann Miram b1819
James Joseph b1821
Mary b1824
Elizabeth b1831 d. abt 1832
John b 1831
Elizabeth b1833
John states on his marriage cert that his father was a shoemaker which tallies with the parish records for this family. In later census' John claimed to have been born in Spitalfields.
The only family that I can find in 1841 that looks likely is here
Class: HO107; Piece 659; Book: 1; Civil Parish: Old Artillery Ground; County: Middlesex; Enumeration District: 8; Folio: 29; Page: 11; Line: 15; GSU roll: 438776.
Ann, Mary and James Joseph would appear to have left home (although I know that Ann and Mary didn't marry until 1843). Elizabeth and John are with the family but who is Rebecca?
The only Rebecca Butcher born 1826 showing on the IGI has Joseph and Jane as parents. The children either side of 1826 all had Mary as mother.
I considered the possibility that Rebecca might be a niece but as I don't know Joseph's parentage I can't prove that either.
Do you think that this "my family". And any ideas what to make of Rebecca?
I hope this makes sense....
Thanks
