This gentleman is my ancestor. He was born in 1884 in Secunderabad, India and died in the UK in 1964. |

Unless he married, he won’t have any legitimate descendants, although, on second thoughts, you refer to him as your ancestor, so you must be a descendant. |

He was in Ireland in 1910, so try the 1911 Irish census, which is free |

Oh, perhaps you would find it interesting that my Great Aunt writes that she visited him in the house he built GLENLION! As mentioned on the Wikipedia page. |

A tree on Ancestry says he married Katherine Mary McWeeney and had a daughter Beatrice Bayley-Butler who married Frederick Egbert Dixon but the tree doesn't show any children. |

After his first wife died, Butler remarried in 1944 to Alice Dromgoole, a medical social worker. Butler died on 21 February 1964. His family retain a draft of his autobiography, which has been considered for publication in the past.[1] |

Nicola. you said that James Bayley-Butler was your ancestor so surely you're descended from Beatrice? |

When asking for help, it is sensible to give all known relevant info on the thread. |

Thank you MargaretM. JBB is an ancestor but I am not directly descended from him. He is the first cousin once removed of my maternal Great Aunt born 1894. My Great Aunt's mother was EDITH KATHLEEN BAYLEY, in turn the third daughter of HENRY ELLIOTT DASHWOOD BAYLEY. The copious family notes, diaries, photographs and letters mention that JBB had compiled an extensive BAYLEY family tree and his Wikipedia mentions that he was writing his autobiography. If we could trace his descendants, we could 'swap' these treasures! |
