Hutton's-Perthshire,Scotland

[rachelnz]

Hi.I'm interested in finding out more about my great grandmother's family from Perthshire, Scotland. Peter and Janet (nee: Stewart) Hutton had 3 children who emigrated to otago, New Zealand in the 1860's. James(born 1842), my great grandmother - Mary (born 1845) and Peter Hutton. Peter Hutton (senior) married to Janet was government official in Scotland.

I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has any further information on these Hutton's, and whether or not there were any siblings of my g grandmother Mary who remained in Scotland or emigrated elsewhere, or any other information.  Many thanks!

Many thanks for this information Carol W, I could be wrong in my occupation for my Peter Hutton, and I see also the dates of birth I have don't match this family, but I could also be mistaken with these.  Will need to do some more searching, but thank you very much for sending this info through, as if it is my ancestors it's a really great help. Thanks heaps! Rachel

So sorry I spelt your name wrong Carole W! I have a sister Carol so used to spelling it that way. Thanks again for your help. Rachel

Hi

I wonder if it was Peter jnr who emigrated and worked in Government as he is not on the 1861 census

The 1861 census has Peter snr as a widower living with daughter Margaret aged 12 and son James aged 8

Hi, Peter Jnr that came to NZ worked as a stone mason, and had carpentry or cabinet making skills, but not sure what else he did. 

The Peter and James you found in the 1861 census can't be my ones I don't think as that James is too young for my ancestor.  I will be finding out more hopefully soon when I receive a death certficate I've ordered for my ancestor James Hutton.

Thanks again for sending me all this info.

Hello Ev, thank you so so much for this link to my ancestors family tree.  I actually found this family tree site a few years ago but then lost all my info on it in the intervening years after marriage and children etc.  I'm so thrilled that you've sent it through to me, thank you! 

My grandfather was George Jackson Dent, and only he and Catherine Dent had any children and thus descendents.  Irving was the only other one to marry but had no children.  He was a Gallipoli veteran and won a Military Medal for bravery.   Are you the person who can add names and other info to this tree? I would be happy to let you know all the names of spouses and children etc and birthdates etc if you would like that added to the tree.

There is quite substantial family tree information on John Dent's family on the familysearch.org site -

Are you related through the Doig or Stewart family?
Thank you so much once again, Rachel

I see my copy of the link to the Dent family info didn't work properly.  So in case you're interested John Dent who married my great grandmother Mary Hutton was born on 11 Dec 1835 in Lesmahagow, Lanark, Scotland and his parents were Irvine Dent and Helen Steel.  The Dents seem to come from Brackenridge, Lesmahagow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.  My mother says that John and Mary called their farm in South Otago, NZ "Brackenridge".
