in June 1938. This dance was a joint coming-of-age party for their son Anthony Viscount Thurles, as well as a debutant 'coming-out' party for the daughter Lady Moyra. The guest list reported in newspapers at the time provides some insight into the high social standing of the Butler family; among the guests who accepted invitations were the United States Ambassador Joseph Kennedy (father of US President John F. Kennedy) and his daughter Kathleen (later Marchioness of Hartlington), The Earl and Countess of Airlie, Queen Victoria's grandson the Marquess of Carisbrooke, Viscount and Viscountess Curzon, Earl and Countess FitzWilliam, Earl and Countess Spencer, the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, the Duchess of Northumberland, and the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury. George Butler, 5th Marquess of Ormonde died on 21 June 1949. His gross estate was valued at £26,884; however his net estate was valued at £0. Marriage and descendants He married Hon. Sybil Inna Mildred Fellowes, daughter of William Henry Fellowes, 2nd Baron de Ramsey and Lady Rosamond Fellowes, Baroness de Ramsey, on 23 February 1915. The Fellowes and Butlers seem to have been old family friends; George's grandmother Frances, Marchioness of Ormonde, attended the wedding of Sybil's parents in 1877. His parents, then Lord and Lady Arthur Butler, settled an annuity of £1,100 on George and Sybil, with £600 to be paid to Sybil for her life if George predeceased her. Sybil received a dowry of £2,000 from her father Lord de Ramsay, an annuity of £400, and a fifth-share of her mother's £30,000 marriage settlement to be paid on her mother's death as part of the settlement. In 1929 Lady Ormonde settled an additional £15,000 in Trust to George and Sybil, which provided for an additional £400 annuity for Sybil in the event of George's death. They had two children: James Anthony Butler, Viscount Thurles (1916–1940), died unmarried serving in Second World War as Driver, Royal Army Service Corps Lady Moyra Butler (1920–1959) married (1) Charles Weld-Forester and (2) Count Guy van den Steen de Jehay.
