David Kennedy Hutchison and Grace Adams

[Aye Right]

I am looking for any information on David Kennedy Hutchison who was born on 19 Dec, 1824 in Kinnoul, Perth, Scotland.  His parents were Alexander Hutchison and Janet Clark who were married in St Cuthbert's, Canongate in Edinburgh on 7 May 1816.

He married Grace Adams in Glasgow in 1845 and was a shipwright living in Liverpool in 1857 and I believe he was traveling to New Zealand but as I have his death in Levuka, Fiji in 1867, I had always believed he didn't get there although I believe his wife remarried and died in Karaka, Thames, New Zealand about 1902.

Does anyone have any information on David Kennedy Hutchison or his wife?

Kind regards.

Aye Right
with fingers crossed in Scotland!

Hello Aye Right

Archives in Auckland have a Probate record for a David HUTCHISON:
Place: Lautoka Fiji / Onehunga
Occupation: Shipbuilder
Death Date: 18 Oct 1867
Court: Auckland
Archives Ref: BBAE 1587 151/0
He died intestate, so don’t know how much further information will be in the file.

The only Intestate record I have viewed just contained the date of death and a very brief financial statement.

There are 2 marriages between 1867 and 1902 for a Grace HUTCHISON which could be her:
1871 Folio Ref: 0184
Charles NORMAN

1899 Folio Ref: 4092
George William MASON

Hope this helps.

Hello Aye Right

I came across this old thread this evening. I have a death record for David Kennedy Hutchison's father Alexander. The informant was his son David and the record gives his occupation and where living in England. Do you have the details of this document?

I also Have a story sent to me by a descendant living in New Zealand about how David met his untimely end in Fiji. He also shared a photogarph of David Kennedy Hutchison.
