Charles Wardle Hutchinson

[aidansrest]

Hi,
I can anybody help in tracing this person in 1901?

Charles Wardle Hutchinson born on the 6th June 1896 in Sunderland and baptised in Fulwell, son of William Hutchinson and Margaret Ann (nee Brown).

He died in Surrey in 1976 aged 80 years.
He fought in WW1 (can't find any Military Records), and married a Belgian woman, Georgette Josephine, and had a son, George Octave Hutchinson in 1921.

Josephine died in Surrey in 1987 and George Octave died in Surrey in 1992.

I have heard that Charles may have gone to live with an aunt, as he does not appear with his parents in 1901, although his mother went on to have another child, Edward (Edwin), in 1898, who does appear on the 1901 census.

His father, William Hutchinson, was born in Sunderland in 1862, and by 1901 he and Margaret were living in 10 Dunning Street where William was employed as a public house barman.

Any help would be most appreciated!

Who is he with in 1911?
Sorry, we can't do look ups , but it might indicate if he was back with parents or if not who he was with, unless he has left home by then.

Hi,

No, he never appears with his parents, and on the 1911 census his father denies his existenance, claiming he and his wife (by then deceased), had had only 7 children, when infact with Charles, they had had 8!

Where he went is a mystery!

Hi Sue

My husband is David George Hutchinson and Charles Wardle Hutchinson was his grandfather.
I have Charles Wardle Hutchinson's birth certificate and it look like the mother's maiden name is something like Donnison ?
Charles and Georgette had two children Jaques and George. Jaques was my husband's father.
They lived in Belgium until Jacques was about 13 and then they came back to England and lived in Feltham, Middlesex at 13 Francis Avenue.
be very pleased to speak with you.

The marriage of Charles Wardle Hutchinson and Georgette Josephine Lemant, 24 Dec 1919, Brussels. Gives his parents names as William Hutchinson and Margaret Anne Donnison. Brides parents as Isadore Lemant and Susanne Mesmans. Says he was born in Monkwearmouth County Durham, 6 June 1896, currently living in Manchester but resident in Brussels, and planning to live in Bacup Lancashire. French is not my strong point. Bride and groom are both 23.

Wow - so you have the marriage certificate. I can't tell you how much effort I have put into trying to get hold of a copy of this. I can read French so I would gladly help with any translation.

I have Charles's birth certificate and will gladly send you a copy - will message you offline.

so excited....

Hello Pat,

I have sent you a copy of the marriage record. Where are Charles parents living in 1896 and what is his fathers occupation? Might help in finding him in 1901. Wonder whether its same Charles that aidansrest is researching, mothers maiden name Donnison vs Brown. Can't see a marriage of a William Hutchinson and Margaret Ann Donnison. Wonder if Margarets Brown and Donnison are the same person, second marriage?

This is just a mystery - Charles' birth certificate shows his mother as Margaret Ann Donnison but his brothers birth certificate gives Margaret Ann Brown.
According to Sue Margaret Ann was married at age 19 to William Hutchinson so a previous marriage seems unlikely.
Also according to Sue "she did give at least two of her children the middle name 'Donnison', so this is obviously a relevant surname"
Finally quoting Sue again " Charles Wardle Hutchinson does not appear with William and Margaret on the 1901 or 1911 census, indeed, in 1911, the widowed William, does not even acknowledge his existence"
Haven't thought of a sensible reason yet for having two surnames or why Charles was sent away. I knew the man and he was neither physically nor mentally handicapped in any way.
All guesses very welcome.

BTW Georgette says on her marriage certificate she is 23 years old but she wasn't she was 19. My husband's brother told me yesterday that 'big Nan' ie Georgette was born in 1900 so I checked her death records and it shows her date of birth as 3 FEB 1900.
Maybe she was below the minimum age to marry back then in Belgium without parent's consent?

Thanks again for all your input and the marriage certificate etc
