Butler was born Adolphus George Le Boutillier in Jersey, 1868. His father was ships carpenter may have been at sea when the 1871 census was recorded, as he was not with the family at the time. In 1881 his mother was recorded as a widow and had changed her surname (and that of her son) to Butler. However his father suddenly re-appeared in the 1891 census record, living with his family in Stanford Street, Southampton.
