William Hutchings b. 1787 Northam, Devon

If it's any help, I have been trying to weed out these Hutchings also. So far this is what I have (minus some from Monksleigh I just added today and haven't update yet. LMK if you happen to spot any obvious errors to sort out.

Hi AlbatrossIV

I don't want to put the cat among the pigeons but are you sure that your William & Rhoda HUTCHINGS who died in Tasmania are the ones who lived in Northam?

The Northam pair are in my tree.   They married there on 12th August 1841 and Phillip HUTCHINGS was a witness.   In the 1851 census they were living in Cross Street, Northam, and in the 1861, 1871 & 1881 censuses they were living in Tower Street, Northam.   William was a ship's carpenter and was born in Portsmouth.

They are both buried in Northam churchyard.   Rhoda died in 1885, age 65, and William died in 1889, age 74.
