Robert HUTTON/ Catherine DOWNEY late 19th century

[tropicalj]

  Please clarify somthing for me.  The Mary  Victoria  Hutton  you  are  talking about  is  NOT the daughter of Robert Hutton  and Catherine Downey?

I  gather  you  mean  she  is  their grandaugther?

Yet  you  said  this

I have not yet been able to locate anything on Jane or Teresa, but i am about to follow up on Mary Victoria.

Am a tad confused here.

Sorry for the confusion.....yep I skipped a generation.....she is the grand daughter.

Oh  that's  sorted

Have you  anything on  the three daughters at all?

Now  then

The real mystery for me is Ellen Kelleher.......where did she come from and where did she go.

I guess she remarried after  the  hubby's death  mmmmmmmmn

Dear Jenn,
That was my first thought that she had remarried, and as great grandfather moved across to Victoria before heading to Inverell, I followed that trail and I bought a marriage certificate from Victoria that I thought might be her, but not the right Ellen.

 My great grand father remarried in 1912 and his certificate states that he was a widower. I have just bought another certificate from Victoria.....this time death, but alas....wrong Ellen again. I have put in a request on RAOGK to have the deaths checked in Tas after the Pioneers Index and I am waiting to hear back.

Eliza Mary, Teresa Warwick and Mary Victoria (Catherine's daughters) ....I only have their birth dates.....don't know if they married/moved states/died young....will need to go to the library or genealogy centre to follow them up.

I  have  just  posted up a  new  topic looking for  someone with  the Tasmanaian Federation  Index  I  know  there are a couple or more  out  there.

So  your Great grandfather was  the son  of Ellen Kelleher and John Tomas Kelleher.(so  to  sort my  mind out ..it  does get a bit scrambled from time to time

Jenn

[Siouxsie]

Sure was.

My grandfather, John Thomas was the son of Ellen Kelleher (who doesn't appear to have been born anywhere!!!) and John Thomas Hutton.
Many thanks for the Tasmanian Federation posting. Much appreciated.

On another topic (and family).....where would i head to to find information about a location called Billy Bong Plains NSW which is where my great great grandfather McAuley was born in 1860......I think it must be in the borders region as he is not listed in the NSW BDM's?

I  am  guessing  you  have  the  marriage certificate?  Tassie certs  don't let on a lot do  they.

Did  she  just  leave  you GGF  and dissappear into the  night.....  when and where was  their last child born?

Try a  google  search  for  BillyBong  allthough  goodness knows what sort of  hits  you  will get on  that
