I've posted about this James Butcher before :o but at the risk of boring you completely will try again!
Born in Thatcham Berks, 1807, James married in Lambeth and lived in Lambeth/Southwark from 1841 onwards. He was a Licensed Victualler. In 1881he is in Southwark living with his daughter and her family. There's no trace in 1891. I have a death certificate for a James Butcher, Retired Licensed Victualler on Boxing Day 1885 in Wimbledon and the death was registered by a J. Olley of the same address. I've found a will giving James own address as Worcester Park (visiting a friend for Christmas?) but inconsiderately leaving all his wordly goods (£28) to John Olley. He was buried at Wimbledon Cemetery and Carolyn P has kindly checked it out for me and it was in a common grave so there's no headstone etc giving names of other family members:(
Checking back through the census I've found John Olley in the Lambeth area who quite possibly could have known James ....
Is there anything I've missed that I could do to determine whether this James is mine?
