Oh  very well done indeed, Jenn.  i'm sure you've cracked it! And from there the family moved to another gold mining area in Tasmania.

Another interesting (slightly puzzling) feature of the certificate is the given names of the other Hutton children mentioned:
Where I had Eliza Mary (8 Nov 1857), this certificate has Eliza Warwick. Where I had Robert Francis (18 Jan 1859), the certificate has Robert Seamus. Both of these children had been born in South Australia.

I think  we seem  to be in agreence here.

There are a number of other children  born  to John and Ann Jane Bell  as well  and a  couple of  birth places as Trentham as well.

John Hutton  came from Leicester England. (where Robert Joseph Hutton came from Scotland)

Hi all

I feel I am butting in...so forgive me

I was about to add....lots of small settlements in this gold mining area of Victoria.  The names of many would have never been gazetted.

Definitely nothing to do with Gluepot Station now  Gluepot Reserve owned by Birds Australia.  Have visited there.  This area has always been in the State of South Australia.  Virgin mallee country. Very similar to the remnant vegetation on our mallee farm and along the road verges....but our rainfall is higher so suitable for growing cereal crops.

There couldn't be two Robert Huttons married to two Catherine Downeys at the same time with children Robert and Mary, could there? Remembering that the population at that time was not huge!


Cando....certainly not butting in. More help the better......

Dee are  there children  with these names in  South Australia?
