• Notes

  JAMES BUTCHER 1837-1924 The Archives Office of Tasmania has his date of birth as 1835. An unverified exchange of information suggests that James BUTCHER was born or baptised on 9 April 1837. (E-mail 09.06.2011 from Tracy Foster) James, son of Elias BUTCHER, labourer, and his wife Mary, was baptised at Martock, Somerset, on 9 April 1837. (FreeReg) From the 1841 census of North Street, Martock, Somerset, taken on 6 June 1841: *Elias BUTCHER, aged 25, agricultural labourer, Y; Mary BUTCHER, aged 25, Y; Matilda BUTCHER, aged 8, Y; James BUTCHER, aged 4, Y; William BUTCHER, aged 1, Y; At the age of 29 Mr. (sic) Elias BUTCHER sailed from London on or about 10 June 1842 on the ship Bolivar, arriving in Tasmania on 5 October. With him were his wife Mary (no age given), his 7 year old daughter Matilda, his 5 year old son James, and his youngest son William aged 2. (Tasmanian Archives CB7/9/1/1 P67) No trace of the family has been found in the Tasmanian censuses for 1842, 1843, 1851 and 1857 but in early 1848 they were living at Stephenson Farm, Launceston, with three unnamed additions to the family. Elias was described as a farmer living iin a wooden house owned by Mr. STUBBS. The family consisted of 7 persons: one adult male and one adult female aged between 21 and 45, and 5 males and 1 female aged between 2 and 7 years. Three of the male children were stated to have been born in the colony. Their religion was Church of England. (Tasmanian Archives CEN1/1/103) A gravestone in the cemetery at Sheffield, Tasmania, Australia records the death of Jas. BOUTCHER (sic) who died on 25 September 1924 aged 86 years. The same gravestone records the death of his wife Margaret BOUTCHER on 16 June 1911 aged 69 years and of their daughter Olive Maud (sic) on 12 September 1910 aged 35 years.
