Relative in Stuartfield
« on: Sunday 29 January 17 15:47 GMT (UK) »
Hello to all, been away for a while but glad to be back! Hope everyone here at RC is well.

I know my GG Grandmother Miss Jane Hutcheon was living at Briar Cottage, Stuartfield by Mintlaw, in May of 1920 because she is listed as closest relative on my Grandfathers Canadian immigration papers.

I recently found a framed photo of a Stuartfield Street scene in my Grandparents things. (I posted the picture in the photo forum if you'd like to see it).  Other than that I have very little success finding information about Jane Hutcheon.

I am 99% sure my G Grandfather Alexander Hutcheon Keith  (or Keith Hutcheon depending on the source!) was illegitimate. I believe Jane Hutcheon's occupation was 'Sick Nurse'.

I am just getting back in the swing of things after being away from my research for half a year tending to family matters, so I'll have to re-acquaint myself with the stuff I have so far. But I thought it would do well to get some of the experts here to help.

I am most interested in finding any info about Jane  or the area in Stuartfield where she lived, of course.

Thanks and lets hope 2017 is a better year than last for everyone!

There is a birth of Alexander Hutcheon Keith -

Alexander Hutcheon Keith  - Male -  1900 - 168/2 1359 - St Machar

What birth year do you have for G. Grandfather ? When did he immigrate to Canada ?

There is an Alexander Keith Hutcheon, b. 19 Nov 1870, Millbrex, Aberdeenshire to Jane Hutcheon - only the mother is named on the birth registration, which suggests he was, indeed, illegitimate, but the record on SP will confirm that.

This appears to be the family in 1871 in Millbrex:

Jane Fowlie, head, unmarried, 49, worsted knitter, New Deer
William Hutcheon, son,  unmarried, 26, shoemaker, New Deer
Jane Hutcheon, daughter, unmarried, 19, dressmaker, New Deer
Alexander K Hutcheon, grandson, 4 months, Millbrex

And here is Jane with her family in 1861 in New Deer - it seems likely that Jane herself was also illegitimate, as her mother, Jean Fowlie is shown as unmarried.

Jean Greig, head, widow, 85, crofter’s widow, New Deer
Jean Fowlie, servant, unmarried, 38, sick nurse, New Deer
William Hutcheon, visitor, unmarried, 16, shoemaker apprentice, New Deer
Jean Hutcheon, boarder, 9, scholar, New Deer

I can then see Jane as a nurse in 1881, 1891 and 1901:

1881 at the Poor House in New Deer - I suspect this is her, despite her place of birth being Monquhitter and not New Deer as in the other censuses:
Jane Hutcheon, field worker, aged 29, Monquhitter

1891 at Buchan Poorhouse, New Deer
Jane Hutcheon, nurse, aged 38, New Deer

1901 at Old Deer Hospital
Jane Hutcheon, nurse, aged 49, New Deer

McArthur, Milne, Mitchell, Black, Robertson, Morrison, Slessor, Lawrence - Aberdeenshire/Banffshire. Muir, Waddell, Fraser, Orr, Cowden - Lanarkshire/Renfrewshire/Dunbartonshire. Dalziel, Dalzell, Gourley, Cromie, Crombie, Bell - Co Down. Lewis, Corrigan, Morris, Cox, Hay - Monmouthshire/Pembrokeshire.  Baker, Ginger, Woodhurst, Swift, Jones - Kent/London.
