  Note: Henry Butler is listed in the 1851 Census with brother William, shown as a widower, age 66. There is an Abigail Butler, age 47, single, next. We know that the 1851 Brighton Census was taken March 1852, after the new township was created on Janauary 1 1852 and before the Breakaway on Apr 21 1852. People who died in the Breakaway are in the census, so I must assume that Henry Butler died after census and the Breakaway. That meams, January 1853. Can the date be supported more specifically?
