Butler seals
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2013 5:00 pm
A lady contacted me from Australia. She is a descendant of Matthew Kenny of Clare attorney and Juliana Butler through their son William. he states this on both of his marriage certs. I have no record of a wedding for Matthew Kenny to a Butler he later married MacNamara. William emigrated to Australia at 16 and worked as an upholsterer. Matthew educated his second family of sons at Downside in the UK and at Trinity. He became extremely well off.
The family have in their position seals that have been passed down that seem to have come from Charles Butler. I am at a loss to know who Julianna was
I am also at a loss to know who James Butler of Ennis who married Miss Gallery daughter of Francis Gallery of Newhall in 1791 was (most likely a sister of my gt gt gt grandfather Christopher Gallery)
Help appreciated. I have pictures of the jewellery - one seal is initialled the other has a lion crest and apparently the same initials (CB)
