Page "Billy Butlin" Paragraph 40

Butlin remained close to his mother, both in following her to Canada and in arranging for her to come home after the death of his stepfather.

She died in 1934 and never saw his first holiday camp, By contrast, Butlin makes no mention in his biography of his father after returning from Canada.

Public records from South Africa show that his father remained in Cape Town for the rest of his life, dying in 1954.
