Yes but I'm sure Pierce Butler was a Pierce!

My wife sandra seems to recall that his daughter was an irish dancer but not the Jean Butler of Riverdance fame.

Good luck with the searching Ralph. Tracking down old friends can be an interesting exercise as I have found.

I'm sure he was no relation to Johnny Butler of Steeleye Span roadie fame, who's photo is on the back of the Hark the Village Wait LP and is also Mr Reservoir Butler I believe. Amazing what a simple posting for info can trigger in one's mind.
