Looking for information on the ancestors of Marion Alice BUTCHER who was born in Echuca, Victoria, in 1873 and died in Melbourne in 1950.
She was the daughter of Henry George BUTCHER and Margaret ROE who married in Victoria in 1859. I think Henry George died in 1891. I don't know anything about his parents.
Margaret ROE was born in Birr, Kings County (now Offaly), Ireland, in 1832 and died, perhaps by accidental shooting, in Echuca in 1881. She was the daughter of Joseph ROE and Mary CLEMENTS who emigrated to South Australia from Birr and from there to Victoria. I don't know anything more about them so would be grateful for any information.
Marion Alice BUTCHER married Robert Herman STOCKFELD in North Melbourne in 1895. They had seven children: Gerhard Robert (1895-1917), Frederick Harry (1897-1917), Alan Hector (1899-1954), Kenneth Richard (1901- ??), Gwenyth (1902-1954), Brian Arnold (1906-1971), John Thorald (1908-1964).
Any information will be much appreciated.
