Re: Buttell/Dougherty/Gilmour/Shimmin

Concerning one of the brothers of Winston,Brian, and one of the sisters Maureen, I can give a little update on them both as I went to school with Brian for all our school days. Unfortunately I can't be precise with any dates.
Brian joined the Royal Artillery in the mid 1950's and was demobbed in the early 1980's, having married a German girl along the way [ Sorry, but I can't remember her name, or how many chilkdren they had]. When he got demobbed they returned here to Ramsey to live, and set up a business selling elecrical goods. Sometime in the early 1990s he went to England on business, and unfortunately he was killed in a car crash somewhere in the North of England. Is body was returned to the Island, and the funeral and burial was held in the parish of Maughold.
I'm uncertain what happened tp Brians' family afterwards, but I presume they returned to Germany.

Maureen was married to a Donald Quirk, but unfortunately she died about three years ago, having a very private funeral.

Sorry that the news is quite sad, nd I'm not very good at remembering actual dates
