Robert HUTTON/ Catherine DOWNEY late 19th century

[Siouxsie]

I have published the work I have done over the past 2 months on my family and my husbands so my family can look at it (and make corrections and additions).

I must say it has been a whirlwind 2 months......and I have found more from the rootswebber community than I thought possible.

It is available at

Please contact me with a personal message if you would like to access it.

Catherine and Robert are down towards the bottom of the family page and if you click on each you get further information.

Quote taken from yelkcub
Catherine, I think, married a Scot called Robert Hutton in Adelaide in 1857. [Robert Joseph Hutton, born Edinburgh 28 Jan 1831, coal miner, emigrated to Australia (gold miner) to Victoria – married Catherine Downey 15 Jan 1857 in Adelaide: had 7 children then went to Tasmania (Clerk/accountant). Robert Hutton died 10 Aug 1880 Emu Bay (Burnie) Tasmania]. In 1883 in Emu Bay Catherine remarried: to Barnard Conner (b. 1813) transportee? Conner was 20 years older than Catherine. So, the people mentioned in replies born Emu Bay must surely be descendants of Catherine.

Can I ask where you got the information about Robert's DOB.......and as he is my ancestor how do I now go forward into Scottish territory as up to now I haven't ventured out of Australian sources.

Susie.....who really is going to get to the housework!

Dear Johngirl,
These are my grandfather's war records......he mainly talks about his flirting and war stuff!!! I still remember him as a dapper ladies man as my grandmother died when I was one month old.

Dear Johngirl,
Yes, I have a copy of them, and it is amazing what you find in them.....as you say they are a fabulous keepsake. I am also really fortunate to have a copy of his War Diaries which are held by the Mitchell Library. I was fortunate that they photocopied them for me and they are precious....in both senses of the word.

Many thanks for the thought.

Susie
