William Butcher born 1808 in England and died April 18, 1883 in Philadelphia, Pennyslvania,
Looking for any information regarding William Butcher and his decendants. He married Margaret Fox Hicks. Looking for any Butchers with any of these missing links.

Soo, you're not going to believe this but I found William & Margaret (literally). I work in the construction field and we just dug up their tombstone (it was a few feet below the surface). I found you on this site by googling their name and knew I had to reach out to you when I saw your post. The police are here now and the historical society has been contacted. The construction site is located in Wyncote, Pennsylvania USA. Please feel free to reach out to me for further information or provide me with your email address and I'll send you pictures.
Best regards,
Jeremy
Unbelieveable!! Hi Jeremy, William & Margaret are my Great-Great Grandparents. I can't believe it I am in shock to even think that their tombstones were underground I would have never found their graves. Their son was Henry B Butcher my great-grandfather and his son was my grandfather Jose Butcher. I live in San Antonio, Texas. YES, PLEASE, PLEASE SEND ME PICTURES I JUST PRAY THEY ARE THE RIGHT ONES. I DON'T KNOW TO MUCH ABOUT THEM. IS THERE BY ANY CHANCE ANOTHER GRAVE WITH THE NAME JOSEPH FOX? MY EMAIL IS LOWER CASE maggievillarreal64@yahoo.com and you can also find me on facebook under Maggie Ybarra-Villarreal.
Thank you,
Maggie
Hi Maggie, you're very welcome and I'm so glad to see you still check this website... I only joined so I could message you.haha I sent you a couple pictures and some more info via facebook. No other headstones were found as digging was halted immediately after unearthing the first headstone. Let's continue this conversation on facebook.
Best regards,
Jeremy

Hi! I don't know if you still read comments here... but we're relatives too! I'm from the line of Thomas (his great-great grandaughter if I'm not wrong with my english)... I'm always looking information of William and Margaret too!! I can't find anything before them yet, I want to know too which is our bloodline (and visit their graves although I think I read that... it's more like a "they were here"). When I told my mom about you, she said that you helped my aunt many years ago, in San Antonio. World is very tiny!! I'm really glad to find your profile here. Blessings and hugs!!
