NotesResearch for the Butterworths can be confusing. According to a family researcher, Lyn:

"John and Benjamin's father was Lewis Benjamin Butterworth Liddell (or Liddle). After he married, he dropped the Liddell. We found that Lewis' father had been illegitimate. Liddell was his grandmother's maiden name and Butterworth was his grandfather's name. His grandmother, Mary, went on to marry Louis Butterworth, but their son, Lewis, remained a Liddell. When Lewis married [Emma Elizabeth Crocker], he must have decided that in fact he was a Butterworth and dropped the Liddell and all his children were registered as Butterworths."

A birth registration was found for Benjamin Butterworth: Registration: Dec 1883; District: Maidstone; County: Kent; Volume: 2a; Page: 708. Parents: Parents: Lewis B. Liddle and Emma E Crockett, married 1866, in Bethnal Green, London, England.

Benjamin Butterworth was baptized on December 2, 1883, at St. Peter, Maidstone, Kent, England.

In 1893, Benj Butterworth, 9 (along with brother, John Butterworth, 12) arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in a group of 59 Barnardo children accompanied by Mr. Hicks and en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
