Individual Details
Winifred Mary BUTLER
(Abt 1876 - 2 May 1919)
The name Winifred Butler is listed in the the 1891 census return for a boarding school on Twickenham Road in Isleworth, Middlesex. This may well be our Winifred because the Winifred from the census was aged 15 at the time which is the approximate age our Winifred would have been.
It is not known how Winifred met her Irish husband, John, who was about 20 years older than her but who outlived her by about 20 years. One possibility is that they met through an uncle of Winifred's, Fr. Robert Butler, who was a friend of Cardinal Manning, Archbishop of Westminster, whose confidential secretary was (according to a brief aticle aboout John in the Irish Examiner of 25 April 1936) an uncle of John's. Of course this is just speculation about how they might have met.
Winifred is listed in the 1911 census as living in Mount Talbot, Co. Roscommon with their three children, while John is listed in Wexford, where a branch of his nursery business was located. In 1916 the family was living in Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow, and at the time of her death in 1919 Winifred and John were living at Park Cottage (located between Ballyboggan and Park) just outside Wexford town.
Winifred's death record tells us that she died of "Cancer of Uterus 3 years, Cancerous Cachexia", cachexia meaning wasting. Winifred was just 43 years old when she died.
