The surname Butcher is of occupational origin, derived from the Old English word ‘boucher’ or ‘bochier’, which in turn comes from the Anglo-Norman French term ‘bouchier’. These words all mean a person who slaughters and sells meat, indicating that the original bearer of the name was likely someone who worked a a butcher.

The Butcher Family connection in our family tree is through the Rowlin Family. The wife of Walter Boynton Staveley was Ruby Millicent Rowlin. Her sister, Beatrice Mary Butcher married Emmanuel Butcher.

Emmanuel Butcher is the son of Benjamin Butcher (1830 – 1903 ) and Elizabeth Butcher ( born Barnes, 1829 – 1906 ). He was born in Tingewick, Buckinghamshire on 29th October 1865.

At the age of 16 in the 1881 census, Emmanuel was boarding in Burill with Cowling, a small village near Bedale, about 15km southwest of Northallerton in Yorkshire. There is a 17th century manor house in Burrill and the houses stand along either side of the road, with the small Victorian church among them. Emmanuel was living there with two of his brothers Joseph & Jacob. They were employed as Iron Miners. Emmanuel is listed as a servant of the Manor House at Burrill.

Emmanuel married Louise Burton on 25th March 1890 at York St Cuthbert’s Church in York. They had one daughter named Laura Elizabeth who was born in 1890. He separated from Louise around 1905.

Emmanuel served with 2nd West Yorkshire Regiment and the 15th Leeds Pals during Great War. Ex Colour Sergeant. Served in Africa (Boar War) awarded Ashanti Star (1895-96), The Queens South africa medal and the Good Conduct Medal. Emmanuel served in France for about 18 months and invalided out as medically unfit. Joined Corps of Commissionaires in 1909 and was stationed at one of Messrs Price’s (Tailors) factories in Kirkstall ( photo ).

Prior to meeting Emmanuel, Beatrice was assistant postmistress in Rudston in 1901 (in her fathers shop). In the 1901 census her address was 7 Church Hill Street, Bridlington. For a time Beatrice was a secretary to Charles Laughton’s (well know actor) father. She had small pox when friends of Charles Laughton came to visit from the far east. She was the manager of the bar in the Grand Hotel, Scarborough then ran the pub on the sea front called the ‘Golden Ball’.

In the 1911 census Beatrice is listed as living at 17 Leeming Square in Leeds, age 28 and single. She is listed as a domestic servant with Emmanuel Butcher, age 45, who is head of the house and an army pensioner with his sons Emanuel Rowlin Butcher age 3 and Sidney Rowlin Butcher age 1. Since Emmanuel has separated from his first partner Louise in 1905 we can assume that Beatrice is the mother of his two sons and subsequent children, many of whom also share her family surname. Interestingly the records show Ruby Millicent Rowlin, her sister, who is aged 17 at the time, and visiting the house during the census.

Beatrice Mary Rowlin, was born on July 2, 1881, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada ( See Rowlin Family for more details ). Together, they had ten children: Emanuel Rowlin, Sidney Rowlin, George Rowlin, Beatrice Rowlin, Ruby Rowlin, Major Rowin, Walter Rowlin, Albert, Joan, and Doris Maud.

Emmanuel died on 8th November 1931 and was buried at St Stephen’s Church Kirkstall, Leeds, on 11th November.

Emmanuel Butcher’s birth in 1865 occurred during the reign of Queen Victoria. This was a period of industrial expansion, social reform and strict moral codes. His family life would have been typical for a person with a rural English background, with large families being commonplace. Apart from his ten children by Beatrice and one child by his first partner Louise, he also had nine siblings.

Emmanuel’s military record at various locations as a Sergeant in the infantry took him to conflicts which resulted in his injury and subsequent army pension. Leeds was expanding rapidly and gaining importance as an industrial hub, a place where his sons and daughters could find employment.

The sons and daughters of Emmanuel and Beatrice would continue the Butcher family line until the present day. Their son Walter Butcher would give his life serving HMS Glorious the Aircraft Carrier which went down near Scapa Flow in 1940 with the loss of 1,200 lives. Emanuel Rowlin Butcher, Sidney Rowlin Butcher, Major Rowlin Butcher and Albert Butcher would all serve in the armed forces during WWII but they survived. In 1939 George Rowlin Butcher is living next door to Walter Boynton Staveley at 17 Monksbridge Avenue in Leeds. The Staveleys and Butchers were were well connected in those days.

There is still a lot of work to be done on this family line to ascertain what happened to Louise Butcher and other family members. Did Beatrice eventually marry Emmanuel? So far I have not located any evidence that she did. In fact his probate record refers to him leaving Effects worth £110 14 shillings to Beatrice Rowlin spinster.
