NOTES & QUERIES:
The parish register records that a Wiliam BUTCHER of Hinton was buried at Martock, Somerset, on 28 June 1879. This is a mis-transcription. A check of the GRO records reveals that no births of William BUTCHERs were registered between 1853 and 1869 and no deaths between 1878 and 1881.
