Comments:I have been in the process for quite some time of tracing the lineage of the Butterworth family. My Grandfather Francois Butterworth married Helen Edwards had three sons and a daughter. They lived in the Cape province South Africa.

The sons, Edwin (my uncle known as Eddie), Robert William known as Jeff (my father), Francois (Uncle) and daughter Joan (Aunt). My Grandfather remarried and had three children named Linda, Marius and Robert Edward.

The family remained in the Cape however my father (Jeff) and Eddie moved to the Transvaal. My father married Martha Dorothea Marks in 1961, their children Martin (died @ 8mnths), Charmaine (died @ 13 yrs), Teresa, Patricia and a stillborn son.

If anyone knows the family and could provide more information about my grandparents I will appreciate it.

I cannot see that my relatives are related to your family tree, but you never know if someone else might find this information useful or even get in contact with me

My Grandfather was John Butterworth a.k.a Jack, he was born around 1916 and he died at the age of 74. He was married to Stella du Montfort in Bedfordshire, England. My Grandad was originally from Yorkshire, but he spent a lot of his life in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire.

Jack & Stella had two boys and a girl, Cliff, Paul & Tina.
I am the daughter of Cliff, our family has always lived in Hertfordshire.
I do not know anything further back than my Grandad

I'm June from St Andrews in Scotland. I'm in search of my father and asking for any help that can be offered.
My Dad's name is Michael Edward Butterworth from Preston Lancashire. He was married to my mother Ruth Menelaws between Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec 1965.
My mum comes from Edinburgh in Scotland. I was born two years later and did not know about my real father until I was 14 years old due to delicate circumstances.
My parents separated when my mum was roughly six months pregnant with me. I hear he may have settled and remarried with three sons..but families can add arms and legs onto the past!
I now have three grown children and a grandchild. I would love to share my family with him. I don't care about what ever happened in the past, I don't care what he does for a living, where he is or how he got there or what he earns....All I care about is making a connection with the other half of me....my children feel the same....
A space is vacant for you Dad and it wants to be filled...
Where ever you are, and although I don't know you, you are part of me and I love you...I won't give up looking for you!

E-mail address: butterworth@live.ie
Comments:Hi all,

I am trying to do a Butterworth family tree.
MY name is Jonathan Peter Butterworth, I have two brothers, James Alexander butterworth and Jeff Scot butterworth.
My fathers name is christian Edmond Butterworth, he had two brothers Peter Butterworth and John Butterworth and one sister shivan Butterworth. Peter passed away around 1993. My grand fathers name was Jeffrey Herbert Butterworth,born 15/9/1928, who has also passed away. Jeffrey had one brother Robert Butterworth and three sisters June Butterworth, Shirley Butterworth and Deborah Butterworth, lancashire, England. His father was Frank Butterworth from rochdale, lancashire, England. Frank was married to Marian Madden..





Origin of the name Butterworth.

Wm. Robinson, in "The Social and Political History of Rochdale, says that "this surname used to be pronounced BUTTEROTH, locally."

The grandson of Charles Butterworth, of Town Meadows, Commander Henry Butterworth,R.N. has kindly supplied , Feb.,1926, from recollections of over a quarter of a century ago. The following account, communicated to him in 1890, by his friend, the late Adm. Sir Clements Markham, K.C.B.,F.R.S.,P/R.G.S., d.1916, and obtained by the Admiral at the end of 1899, from a member of the Atheneum Club, "interested in pedigrees and the derivation of names."

The etymology suggested was as follows;

"The name Butterworth is derived from BUTER WOHL", the home or house , of BUTER, who appears to have been a Norse Viking, who joined Harold Haarfarger in his rebellion against his brother Harold Haardraade.** The rebellion proved abortive, and Harold Haafaarger was defeated and killed in a sea action off the Orkneys or Shetlands. His fleet was dispersed, and after great trials at sea, Buter sailed down the West Coast of Scotland, but was prevented from landing through "the inhospitable nature of the coast, and the ferocity of the inhabitants." Buter finally landed in Morcambe Bay Lancashire,and presumably from there worked his way inland."

This account, together with some record of the Butterworth family history,by the Member of the Athenaeum Club, was given by Admiral Sir Clements Markham to Commander Henry Butterworth, who, sailing for Australia, soon after April 1890, lost this and all his possessions when the "Dacca" was wrecked on the Daedalus Rock, in the Red Sea.

If these two Harolds, described as "brothers", Harold Haarfaager and Harold Haardraade, are meant to be identical with the famous Norwegian Kings , there would appear to be considerable confusion, chronologically, in the narrative here. Of the Kings of Norway, Harold I, Harold Harfagr, or Haafager (Fair Haired), b.c. A.D.850; reigned 1046-66; invaded England with Tostig, the outlawed brother of Harold II., King of the English, son of Godwin, Earl of Kent, who defeated and slew them at Stamford Bridge,25 Sept., 1066, Harold of England being himself defeated and slain 19 days later 14 Oct., 1066, at the Battle of Hastings, or Senlac.

Apart from the identification of the two Harolds with whom Buter is here linked, the suggested etymology for the name Butterworth may have solid foundation. As an alternative theory, I offer the following, based on the derivations of the two words BUTTER, and WORTH, given in "The Romance of Names", 3rd edition,1922,by Prof. Ernest Weekley,M.A., though neither in this, nor in his "Surnames",1st ed. 1916, does the complete name BUTTERWORTH appear.

In "The Romance of Names", however, the surname BUTTERFIELD is mentioned, as derived from BITTERN-FIELD. From:-The Romance of Names,pp.220,123,& 117: "BUTTER",French BUTER,"a bittor", in Colgrave`s French-English Dict. of 1911, is a dialect name for the "bittern", called a Butter-bump, by Tennyson`s "Northern Farmer", line 31.

"WORTH" was perhaps originally applied to land by a river, or a holm; in the North, a river island was commonly called HOLM, from the Scandanavian, also pronounced HOME, HULME,and HUME, e.g. in compounds confused with -ham, e.g. DURHAM, which was once DUN-HOLMR, hill-island.

According to this view, the surname, like so many others, is derived from a place-name, BUTTER-WORTH meaning "land by the river, or river island, frequented by the bittern," a marsh-loving bird allied to the heron, having a booming note, from which characteristics, indeed, the Norse Viking, Buter, may perhaps have been named or nick-named.

Families migrating from this locality would describe themselves as de BOTER-, or de BUTER-WORTH, de BUTTERWORTH, and so ultimately, BUTTERWORTH.

The first mentioned derivation, according to which Butterworth means "BUTER`S land by the river, or river island," is not, quite possibly the more correct etymology, but further investigation is desirable confirming the existence and career of this Norse Viking, and the approximate date of his landing in Lancashire.

In Appendix D. will be found a list of place names, beginning with BUTE-, BUTTE-, or BUTER-, with the suggestive terminal syllables,-leigh, or -ley or -ly, -mere, -side,-wick, etc, to be met with in the North and South of Great Britain, most, if not all of which would appear to derive from their having been haunts of the bittern.

Their number and widespread distribution favour the conclusions that the name Butterworth originated in a place-name, and means BITTERN-, not BUTER'S-LAND.

Comments:My grandfather, Herbert Butterworth, arrived in Longbranch, Ontario, Canada sometime after his commission with the British Merchant Marines - around 1911 - 1920 (?). Originally from Blackpool, England -Herbert attended school at Eton College. His family (mother (Susannah), father (John) and sister (Clara)) are buried near Blackpool in a family plot (unsure of the cemetery). Herbert had five sons (Ross, Earl, Jack, Ron and Herbert) and two daughters (Nell and ?) - all of which lived or died in Canada. Jack is buried at the Brookwood Military Cemetery, in the WW2 section of Canadian plots (Jack was a Royal Dragoon). Ron and Herbert are still alive and well, and living in Ontario, Canada.

I'm hoping that some of this information will connect with some of the original Butterworth family history so that I can trace the origins of my family in England.

Comments:Hello all. I now live in Newcastle upon Tyne, but hail from Ashton under Lyne, beside Oldham. I've had a couple of attempts at tracing my tree, but other things seemed to take over and the trail was lost. Third time lucky, they say, so watch this space.....
