MUTTON/THOMAS - from Cornwall

[Mickyem]

Hi there, give me a little time to digest all the posts and I will get back to you. Joseph Mutton was my 1st cousin two times removed or, to put it another way, his grandfather, Joseph, is my GG Grandfather. I don't believe we have been in contact by other means but my Mutton Harrison Tree on ancestry may be of interest to you. My info (best guess to date) on Julia Ann Thomas is that she "separated" from Joseph, left him with the kids and "remarried" to a Richard Williams before dying in Penzance in 1888.  cheers Mick

Dear Fleurieu, time to eat some humble pie. Please disregard the info I gave re Julia Ann Thomas (I had already dismissed  that line of enquiry some time ago - should have checked before I wrote that). At this stage there is still no news of Julia's fate but I guess its time to renew my search for info.

Hi Mickyem, we have contacted before via emails.   I have sorted through the many Muttons, and I believe that some info on the several David Muttons is incorrect.   I believe that David Mutton, who married Mary Sheahan/Shey was previously married.   It has been written that he arrived on the Tantivy, well, that would not be correct, as he would have been too late for his first marriage.  You see, I have record of 4 David Muttons marrying, but no matter where I check, there are only really three David Muttons dying.   That means one was married twice - and the years, ages and naming of the children conform.  I could send you what I have via mail if you like.  Cheers, Fleurieu.

Hi Fleurieu, I had a feeling we had been in contact. Yes I wouldn't mind you sending any info you have via email. I have input a lot of data into my tree recently which I am happy to share if it is of any use to you and have had recent contact with a descendant of Joseph's cousin (1 x 1 removed), Charles David Mutton, also of South Aus. I have searched high and low for trace of Julia Ann with no success to date. I am interested to know what happened to her daughters, did they marry etc

cheers mickyem

Julia Hannah Mutton and Joseph Mutton two daughters - Elizabeth Hannah (Annie) and Caroline Jane (Carry) both married.   Annie lived at Burra in SA - no children.  Carry lived over the west coast around Kimba and had several children.   Annie was a nursing sister and run the nursing home, now a national trust home.   She was Annie Young, married to Chin Young.   Chin was a chinese gentleman who had a market garden at Kooringa.  Regards Fleurieu

Dear Fleurieu, you mentioned a couple of posts back that you had some info you could send via email. My email address is mickmuttonattpgdotcomdotau. Would be happy to receive any info you have relevant to my tree (my problem is that I haven't made the connection with your user ID on Rootschat and a contact in my email address book - its an age thing!). Also, could you confirm that you have access to me tree on ancestry. I'm not sure if I have sent you an invite but would be happy to do so. I have recently reviewed my info on the David Muttons in my tree and noted that the two in South Australia that were of interest to me were David married to Mary Sheay and David married to Mary Biggin. It took a while to sort out their descendants as a few other researchers had assigned the wrong parents to them (IMHO).

regards Mickyem
