Title: Hutton family Belfast in 1850-1870’s
Post by: goatfish77 on Thursday 18 September 25 22:33 BST (UK)
Can anyone help me trace the parents & siblings of James and Thomas Hutton in Northern Ireland? They both married at St John’s in Belfast in 1874. James married Jane Black and Thomas married Elizabeth Black. Their father is John, a Car Driver. I think I found Thomas in 1901 and he is recorded as a Methodist but I’m struggling to find any of their siblings and James in the census, although his wife & children appear to be in Cuba Street, Victoria, Down and are Presbyterian. I have found their children & deaths but can’t go any further back. Are the non-Catholic records even available? I’d like to know more about their wives families too.

Please post names of children and dates and places of births. Also post information on deaths you have.

The marriage records for both James and Thomas show they were Church of Ireland, and their father John was deceased by 1874.

At marriage, Thomas gave his address as 9 Annette Street. There was a William Hutton, a carter, at 9 Annette Street in the 1870 directory. In 1871, the Town Improvement committee, approved plans for [work on?] a house in Annette Street for a William Hutton. In 1876, a young man named Hutton (no forename mentioned), of Annette Street was rescued alive following an incident caused by a fire at a grain store and other commercial premises.

That’s excellent, thanks. I had not found Thomas’s second marriage. It also helped confirm a possible sister to these brothers called Eliza as she & her second husband Robert Magee (1st was Richard Letson) are witnesses to that second marriage!

Rose Ann/Roseanna was buried at the City Cemetery. There are others in the plot, including non Hutton surnames. Of the Hutton surname, there was a Richard Hutton of 4 Tierney Street, aged 34 when he died on 16th August 1877 and a Richard Henry Hutton, of 17 Northbrook Gardens, aged 46 Years, when he died on 12 January 1947.

The death notice in newspaper for Richard Hutton of the 1877 death, mentioned members of 598 L.O.L. and 20 Royal Black Perceptory were required to attend the funeral. His 'Orange Funeral' (story headline), was later mentioned in the Belfast Evening Telegraph.

The 1947 funeral of the other Richard, also involved representatives from Orange and Black Lodges, as well as bowling clubs  and the Belfast  Corporation Gas Department. Mention of two brothers and a brother-in-law.

Thank you. It seems William was, husband of Rose Ann Keown and his father was a Richard Hutton, Carter. I think he remarried after Rose Ann’s death to a Marianne Semple nee Dogherty.
Maybe Richard Senior was a brother to John, father of Thomas & James?

I think that Richard in 1901 is too young to be a witness in 1856. However, I think have found his marriage to Margaret McMullan and his father is John who he has given as a labourer it’s likely to be the same father as Thomas and James though if their niece is living with them I think so that’s another probable sibling found!

Some are, some arent.

They were a Church of Ireland marriages 1874 at St John's Laganbank (since demolished). Those that are online are on RootsIReland (not Ancestry or Findmypast) for both the Co Antrim & Ballymacarrett (Down) sides of Belfast. eg St Annes is all indexed, Christ Church is not. Some were lost forever 1922 in PRO Dublin others are accessible only via microfilm in PRONI, Belfast.

Refer to https://nidirect.gov.uk/publications/guide-church-records for what exists
St John's Laganbank was only consecrated 1853. Thomas Hutton was 20, James 21 or older and their father was dead.

Thanks for that info, it will be very useful. I thought I read that there were two churches called St John’s in Belfast but I can see 3 on one of those links. Is St John’s Laganbank that you mention the one that says St John the Baptist, Upper Falls (Connor Diocese) or St John’s, Malone (Connor Diocese) (or even St John the evangelist, Orangefield)? And how do I tell from the civil marriage entry which one it is?
And are you saying browse RootsIreland or somewhere else like irishgenealogy.ie?

It was Laganbank located per the genuki link as says in the Town of Belfast rather than in the Parish of Malone or Parish of Upper Falls which the others do and the first sod was cut for construction of Orangefield 29 July 1955 & named after St John's Laganbank which had been demolished 1943.

Mays Fields was St John's in the earliest list by Mays Market & the river before May Street and Oxford Street etc were fully constructed. That area was where Annette Street was if refer to he street Directories.

I'm saying search irishgen for Hutton marriages and open the pdf images and read the father's name and occupation. RootsIreland has the father's fornames indexed I think but you need a sub and still need to conult the actual irishgen images. In England you would use the census for siblings that option is not available so you have to use things a different way to elsewhere and all the civil BMD records are online for free up to 1922. Longwinded sometimes have to open 20 or 50 tabs depending on the surname.

Hi
It was a lucky find! It came up on a full text search (which is fairly new) on FamilySearch for "Annette Street" and Hutton together in Ireland
https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/full-text/results?count=20&q.text=%2B%22annette%20street%22%20%2B%22hutton%22&c.recordPlace1=on&f.recordPlace0=9&c.recordPlace2=on&f.recordPlace1=9%2CIreland

Sorry about the long link

Yes, I agree that it looks as though John's wife had most probably died by then. So we still don't know her name.
Even though we now have John's death date, I haven't found a death notice in the newspapers for an age, which is disappointing.

Hi Kiltaglassan
I can't use ShrinkLink because it loses the +
And thus gives all the results for Annette Street and Hutton irrespective of whether they appear together or not.
Yes I know I could put in Hutton as a "name" instead, perhaps I should have done, but I prefer not to!

How did you find that and how would I search for other wills for the family?
Johnwarn all those Familysearch wills are from NAI where thay can be searched much more easily, that is the image attribution. Good find though & interesting to see the date of death recorded in the margin.

Prerogative and diocesan copies of some wills and indexes to others, 1596 – 1858
https://census.nationalarchives.ie/search/dw/home.jsp
a sub set of the old style Geneology site of NAI https://genealogy.nationalarchives.ie/

further detailsof pre-1858 Wills https://nidirect.gov.uk/articles/about-wills-and-will-calendars
Many pre-1858 Wills have not survived.
The Prerogative church Court was the highest, above the Diocese Courts and may indicate property was held in more than one Diocese. There was also a record in Connor Diocese of which only the index has survived. 3 images in total on NAI.

?? could it be a re-marriage we can't tell as only the index survives ...the church might be St Anne's but the pre-civil parish record might not have sufficient detail to differentiate from the other John Hutton a Farmer who appeared in children's marriages same period.

the pre 1850 directories are of variable format & inclusion they are imaged on PRONI.
https://nidirect.gov.uk/services/search-street-directories
copied on https://ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/62710

The Belfast And Province Of Ulster Directory 1852
John Hutton (Carter), 10 Annette Street . Richard Hutton (labourer) 6 Annette Street
https://streetdirectories.proni.gov.uk/media/wokiPncDuvMp0GkdTMnBNw..a

Martin's Belfast Directory 1842-1843 (also 1841-1842)
John Hutton (Carrier) 79 Scott's Row.
https://streetdirectories.proni.gov.uk/media/ns_Ive010aXle3RUW233DQ..a
and Martin's Belfast Directory 1839 https://streetdirectories.proni.gov.uk/media/vkjlfUwHqShKT2k6N2J03Q..a
Scott's Row was somewhere in Cromac Ward which included the Markets. Market Street is beside Verner St & St Grorge's Market. Annette Street existed 1841 per its' initial street listing.

Matier's Belfast Directory 1835-1836
John Hutton (Carter) 37 Market Street, Richard Hutton (Carrier)
https://streetdirectories.proni.gov.uk/media/qFCtK0v9F6VCIc9w6HSeMA..a

Henderson's Belfast Directory And Northern Repository 1846-1847 records Richard in Annette Street as a carman.
https://streetdirectories.proni.gov.uk/media/kAITThyNFQnDEd0uAyk19Q..a

a Carrier tended to be longer distance than a Carter.
I presume son Richard who was to be a good boy on the Will, was the eldest son so likely named after his grandfather and brother Richard was a second son named after his father. All were illiterate marking X on Will & 1874 Marriages.

Edit, just seen Jonwarrn has already mentioned the 1852 & Henderson's.

Probate of the Will of William Hutton late of Vernon-street Belfast Carrier who died 13 June 1896 granted at Belfast to William J. Magowan of Beaconsfield Cottage Strandtown Belfast County Down Farmer.
is interesting reading as owned 3 houses 12,14 & 16 Market Street & had shares in Mitchell's Whisky. May be the William son & Executor for Richard.

Then have Probate of the Will of William James Hutton late of 5 and 7 Verner Street Belfast Carrier who died 14 August 1915 at Verner Street granted at Belfast to Mary A. Hutton the Widow.

Probate of the Will of Thomas Hutton late of 319 Newtownards-road Belfast Carrier who died 17 September 1906 granted at Belfast to Maggie Hutton the Widow.

As Richard died 1863 no death cert for him but will be online for the later ones with ages.

Direct links to the PRONI Will images don't work for others or for you once your 'session has expired' so always just have to search again. Ancestry may hint them if you extended the tree as Web: Northern Ireland, Will Calendar Index, 1858-1965 but their link just takes you to the same blank search screen.

PRONI explain they only digitised the Will copy ledgers made locally before the Wills were sent to Dublin and subsequently destroyed 1922.
"Search the index to will calendar entries for the District Probate Registries of Armagh, Belfast and Londonderry covering the period 1858 to 1965. View digital images of copy wills for Armagh, (1858 to 1918), Belfast (1858 to 1909) and Londonderry (1858 to 1899)."

What is not so clearly stated is that PRONI hold Will Calenders in book format after 1965 and the original Wills once transferred to them from the Probate Office (well past 1965) and those envelopes of Wills, accounts and associated legal paperwork can be requested, viewed and photographed on site.

son Richard's marriage 1878 https://irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=8f6abc883a-1517149
his cousin Richard's marriage 1866 https://irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=8f6abc883a-1851253

Richard son of William of Annette Street 1888 https://irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=8f6abc883a-1284501

Example of a period copy error:
Richard Hutton & ELIZABETH McCambley 03/04/1915 copy made 18 Apr 1915 by a Curate (incorrectly including an April marriage with Q1 Jan-March submission to Dublin hence marginal annotation 'put in next quarter')
https://irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=8f6abc883a-610730

Richard Hutton & ELLEN McCambley 03/04/1915 copy made 10 July 1915 for Q2 by the Rector who had performed the marriage ceremony.
https://irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=8f6abc883a-610761
What I would do there is look at how GRONI have indexed as that is compiled and the images from one of the pair of bound Ledgers signed or marked by the couple on the day. Shows it happened.
