The Buttery Family came from Warwick, a medieval town smack dab in the center of England and close to the birthplace of William Shakespeare. William Buttery joined the military and had four children with his first wife. He and his second wife lived in St. Helier, Jersey (the Channel Islands off the coast of France) where they had 10 children. His son Albert Edward, a fisherman, ended up in Newfoundland as did many fishermen from France and the U.K.
Albert Edward Buttery married Elizabeth (Lizzie) Lomond in 1881 and had eight children in Grand Bay, Newfoundland. Twin sons died within a few weeks of birth and are not included in the Family Chart. Albert Edward died at the young age of 39. His oldest daughter Elizabeth "Eliza" (my great grandmother) married William John Scott (in 1911) from Little Bay East off Fortune Bay, Newfoundland, and they moved to Rochester, New York, shortly thereafter. Eliza’s mother eventually remarried Charles Pike and would later adopt her granddaughter by son Walter.
Two cemeteries seem to be heavy-laden with Butteries, Lomonds and Kettles. St. Paul's Anglican Cemetery on Grand Bay Road in Port aux Basques has the most Butteries. Gammy’s father and brothers (except Walter) are buried here.
