Mary Ann CUTHBERTSON

[RGS]

I'm trying to find any information on Mary Ann CUTHBERTSON, dob ?

Parents James CUTHBERTSON 1830 to 1 Aug 1899 & Maria THOMSON abt 1824 to 7 Feb 1909. Arrival Tasmania 18 Jul 1853 aboard "Coromandel" James Cuthbertson 22yrs, Maria Cuthbertson 27yrs and infant. Port of departure Southhampton.

From Maria (Thomson) Cuthbertson's will dated 1899 after the death of James, she divides a property amongst her 4 daughters Maria Elizabeth Pain Widow,  Mary Ann Crawford, widow of Hobart
Clara Ellen Grubb & Margaret Susan Millhouse.

Other than the Will I have been unable to locate any links, she is listed between Maria Elizabeth & Clara Ellen on the Will so I presume she is their second daughter and more than likely born in Tasmania 1853 to 1856.

Children of James and Maria:    From Tasmanian Family Links
61119    CUTHBERTSON MARIA ELIZAB    1854 (actual dob. 11 Sep 1852 London)
61116    CUTHBERTSON CLARA ELLENO    1856 Hobart
61117    CUTHBERTSON JAMES ALEXANDER    1857     "
61121    CUTHBERTSON ALFRED THOMAS    1859     "
61120    CUTHBERTSON MARGARET SUS    1861     "
61122    CUTHBERTSON CAROLINE            1863     "
61118    CUTHBERTSON THOMAS WHITFIELD 1865     "

There are 3 Mary Ann Cuthbertson's found on Tasmanian Family Links, but none link up to James & Maria, her siblings or deceased husband Crawford. The 1854 Mary Ann has another husband, 1879 - HOBART, Tasmania ( HILL, RICHARD CHARLES) is this her and she married twice?

I have no Idea. 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the quick work Merlin

It seems that the Mary Ann Cuthbertson who married Richard Charles HILL is the same born to Maria and James 30/10/1854.

Do you have any idea where the Will entry cir 1899, Mary Ann CRAWFORD widow fits in?

I've tried trove but to date I've spotted nothing on her, I'll give the 2 husbands a go and see what pops up.

Thanks again.

Maria's will was written in 1899 she died in 1909.

Mary Ann CRAWFORD (nee CUTHBERTSON - formerly HILL) was a widow when her mother Maria wrote her will as Andrew CRAWFORD had died in 1898 the year before.

Great work and thanks heaps

I suppose it's to much to ask if you have spotted Maria's date of death.

By the way your information has helped me date a Cuthbertson group photo.

 It was my Grand mother Ida's photo she pointed herself out along with the others to my mother but my mother forgot most of the names and also when Ida said the photo was taken.

Going by the age of Ida I always presumed it was taken in the late 1890's, there are two widows dressed in black as well as James with Maria so it places it before James' death in 1899 and post Andrew Crawford's death 1898.

Did they have any children before Andrew's death as Mary Ann is nursing a baby about 1 year old?

Thanks for your great work, you make it seem so easy.

Mary Ann CUTHBERTSON & Richard Charles HILL had three children. So it's possible that the little one she is holding is a grand child 

There were no children to her marriage with Andrew CRAWFORD.

Hello Merlin,

The child Mary Ann is holding is too young to be hers from her first marriage, by a process of elimination I believe it now could be her nephew Harry, Thomas and Ada's youngest son.

I would post a copy of the photo but it exceeds the allowable file size and my computer skills aren't quite good enough to make it smaller.

Any sightings on Richard Hills dod.

Thanks for all your help.
