William John McCutcheon
« on: Friday 11 January 08 19:49 UTC (UK) »
I was wondering if anyone could give me some assisance in researching the ancestry of William John McCutcheon born approx 1851. The only lead we have is that he is likely from County Down and married an Anna McKibbin or McHebben born 1859. They emigrated to New Zealand where my great grandfather Andrew James (b1887) and at least one other child (Mary Jane b1876) were born.
If anyone knows of William John and can confirm whether he was in fact from county down, or knows of any of his ancestors I would really appreciate a point in the right direction.

Thank you

Not sure where William John McCutcheon died but would his death certificate give information about his birthplace, etc.?
Civil registration of births in Ireland began in 1864 so there will be no birth certificate for him and you would have to search for church records (if they still exist) in the area where his family lived (parish if not townland, not just county).
Do you know when (and where) he got married? or when he went to New Zealand?

Thank you.
I realise I have very little to go on myself, or to give others who would like to assist.
Unfortunately we do not know where or when he died either, although my assumption would be somewhere in NZ, which makes purchasing a copy of his death certificate quite difficult. I really only have a name to go on, so this was a bit of a shot in the dark.
A search of ancestry.com gave me a link to a one world tree with William and an Anna McHebben who had a dughter Mary Jane in NZ in 1876 which matches to the information I have, however they also only have a birth year and marriage year of 1875 with no location. I am unsure as to whether the marriage would have occured in Ireland

McKibbin is a County Down name and probably makes more send than McHebben.

Thanks for that. It is good to have reaffirmed from others that I was on the right track with his wifes name.
Also that this is a name from County Down confirms my suspicions of their origins.
Thank you

McKibbin is found in county Down but may be found in other parts of Ireland as well.

Oh right. Good point. It would fit with where we think William is from though, so it is likely.
