At least it's some nice compensation for the weeks I've spent so far trying to untangle all the Buttalls in my tree! They were mostly non-conformists, some were Baptists, and liked to use the same names over and over again.

lol I came across this online a couple of days ago when I was looking for something regarding your recent Buttall thread. Then I remembered Libby had some connections with Gainsborough's paintings, and when I looked on here for that I found you already knew about Jonathan Buttall!

[kiterunner]

Yes, I did already know, but I always had a nagging feeling that it was going to turn out we weren't related after all, so it's good to have managed to confirm that we are.

Well done!

[kiterunner]

Thanks, though I still have some Buttalls to untangle before I'm finished with them.

I did spend some time getting nowhere with your unanswered thread!

Thanks for trying. Don't worry, there are sure to be more Buttall puzzles to come!

He's making a fine leg there, Kate.
