...and this may be of interest. Charles Overend Garbutt's wife Lucy Watson was his first Cousin. Lucy Watson was the daughter of John Watson, a Civil Engineer, and Elizabeth Overend, Jane Overend's sister...

Hi Sue,

For me, this whole part of my tree is a work in progress. My Garbutt's all came from around Middlesbrough/Guisborough/Bilsdale/Whitby in Yorkshire, and although I haven't proved it yet, I am fairly confident that all the Garbutt's from the area, including your Garbutt's, are linked. Norton is a suburb of Stockton-on-Tees, which is in Durham on the north bank of the Tees. My more recent Garbutt's are from Middlesbrough (along with most of the rest of my ancestors on my Paternal side) which is directly opposite Stockton on the south bank of the Tees in Yorkshire. I haven't yet linked your Garbutt's directly to mine, however I have surprisingly linked Jane Overend to my tree. Her Sister Isabel Overend married Joseph Ripley, their Daughter Eleanor Ripley married my 4th Cousin Henry Linskill. Henry was the brother of Author & Poet Mary Jane Linskill from Whitby (Google her).

Will keep you posted, and hope this helps,

Cheers

Chris

Hi,

I am in the middle on what has almost become a one-name study trying to link a stack of different Garbutt families together - some successfully, some not quite so successfully (so far). Of particular interest is the Australian Garbutt's, mainly to see if I have some distant Cousins here that I can connect to as I was actually born in the UK, but now live in Wodonga. I am connected to one line of Garbutt's through my 3rd Great Grandparents David Ord and Ann Agar. Ann Agar's parents were John Agar and Hannah Garbutt (Lastingham, Yorkshire) Hannah Agar died in Guisborough, where most of my Ancestors on that side of the famile were from. Go back further and the Garbutt's are intertwined throughout my tree.

Name   Reuben Garbutt
Father   Stephen Garbutt
Mother   Hannah
Baptism   12 Sep 1831 - Loftus,York,England
Married Mary Ann Hill

Please contact me,he is in my tree.
