Do you have JWMB's parents' marriage cert, which RR posted above? that would give you Elizabeth's father's name, to help investigate further.

If John Thomas Butler's POB in 1891 is correct, can this be him in 1881 with a first wife, I wonder? and his mother and stepfather.

However, I can't see Alice's death.(assuming she married the right John Butler)

Elizabeth Thompson in 1881 with mother & stepfather.
Charles W is Turgoose in 1881, although Thompson in 1891 (posted by RR above).
EDIT: But he's back to Turgoose in 1901, 1911, and his army record.)

Don't know Mary's maiden name - lots of marriages of George Thompsons to women named Mary.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I know that Elizabeth,s mother was Mary, and think that there is a possibility her surname may have been Ford,and that they were married in Doncaster. Thankyou, Christine
