- Arthur Butler's DOB should be 8 June 1882 (instead of 1884). His birthplace should be Brisbane, Qld, and nickname was Artie.

Arthur's bio on the site states that he was born in Wallsend in 1884 to parents James and Elizabeth. This would be an unrelated person who died in 1974. I've messaged @AndrewRLP about updating Arthur's bio.

Some details I've found to add to a corrected bio: His parents William and Emily were both born in Holbeck, Yorkshire and immigrated to Queensland in 1873. Arthur was born in Brisbane, but grew up in Alexandria after the family relocated.

- Harry Butler should be: 20 October 1886 in Alexandria NSW, died 1 August 1962. Full name was Henry Butler
- Thomas Butler was known as Tommy Butler: born 13 October 1888 in Alexandria NSW, died 22 May 1952. Full name Thomas Butler
