Robert HUTTON/ Catherine DOWNEY late 19th century

[deeiluka]

Today the transcription of the birth certificate for John Thomas Hutton arrived, and yes , his parents were Catherine Downey and Robert Thomas Joseph Hutton. I'll email the transcription to Ian.

However, the district is given as Blue Mountains, Victoria, and place as Gluepot. Any Victorians able to explain where that would have been, as it is unknown to me?

I immediately think of Blue Mountains as being in NSW.

I've done that Jenn.....but I don 't think that is the same area.......the Gluepot Reserve is in South Australia...... 

[tropicalj]

I  should  have  realised  you  would have done  that Dee.

rather odd isn't it.

Is it possible that the state boundaries may have changed since the 1860s? Or that, at the time when John Thomas Hutton was born, Gluepot may have been administered by the state of Victoria?
Just a thought

Ian....just corrected my posting about the certificate......you may have noticed I had the father's name incorrect.

As for boundaries changing.....I don't think so. The area where Gluepot Reserve is would have been quite remote then, and it is flat mallee scrubland.

I checked  the  Pioneer Cd Index for Gluepot  being a place of  birth  for any  registration  but  found  nothing.

However  I  did find  interestly enough a number of  Huttons born at Blue Mountain


Father John mother Ann Jane Bell
Emily Jane Hutton  1873 BLUE MNTN reg 14672
Annie May Hutton 1877 BLUE MT reg no 20380
William Henry 1883 BLUE reg no 663
Charles Cleaver 1888 reg no 774


Ernest  HUTTON born 1888 Blue Mount reg 17835
father U mother Mabel Florence Hutton


so  now  my  fertile  imagination  has  Robert Joseph Hutton  taking  his  brood  off to  maybe family  connections  in  this spot  before  moving on to Tasmania

Now the certificate transcription gives father of John Thomas as Robert Joseph Hutton. The informant is given as Robert Thomas Hutton - father.   

Might post a special thread asking for information about Reg district of Glue Pot Blue Mountains, and see if we can get a response from any of the Victorians on board.....

Dee, on  the NAA  there is a WW1 record for William Henry Hutton born 1884  Trentham Victoria. now  there is only  one recorded birth in Victoria and  that is  the  one  just  posted.  So  now wondering  where Trentham  is in Victoria. 

will have  to google  that
