Biography

Flag of Suffolk (adopted 2017)
Henry Butcher was born in Suffolk, England.

Henry Butcher was born about 1698. He was the son of John Butcher and Martha Blake. Henry was christened on 23rd August 1698, in Lowestoft, Suffolk, England. [1]

Henry married Elizabeth Butcher on 2nd December, 1718. The marriage took place at St. Margaret in Lowestoft, although it was noted as being in Norfolk, not Suffolk. (See research note). [2]

Research Note

Lowestoft is contentiously caught between being a town in Suffolk and also a town in Norfolk. In more recent times the people of Lowestoft, Suffolk were faced with the threat they might suddenly be residents of Norfolk. [3]

The Norfolk parish registers on Ancestry have a burial in 1745

Name: Henry Butcher

Butcher-1608 and Butcher-437 appear to represent the same person because: We have a duplicate here I believe. I propose a merger?
