BIRTHS
On the 15th inst., at Bowness, Windermere, the lady of W.W. Butcher, Esq. of a son.

The Royal Naval School, Camberwell, was a charitable institution founded in 1831 (or 1833) to provide an education for the sons of naval and military officers in needy circumstances, with a preference for orphans of those killed on active service. It closed in 1910. I know that John's father and Barton grandfather were rectors, but does this jive with his other grandfather, by any chance? Just a thought.
