James RUTTERFORD
« on: Thursday 06 October 05 10:00 BST (UK) »

James Rutterford, convicted poacher, also bludgeoned a gamekeeper, John Hight, to death.  Tried but repreived in unusual circumstances in March 1870.  The killing took place near to Eriswell.

Is there someone out there who can tell me when, how and where said James Rutterford actually did die?

I've found this posted on the web, it might help.

http://www.mustrad.org.uk/articles/bbals_17.htm

do you know who James' parent's were? I'm descended from the Rutterfords of Eriswell, so I suspect there is a connection and wonder where it is.

Hi Roly,

Thank you for that.

I've just been looking through some only 19th century newspapers and it seems that James was "committed to penal servitude for life" at the time it says we was 27, so I think this could be the reference for his death (going by his age):


Deaths Jun 1893:   Rutterford  James  51  Mildenhall  4a 405.

The old newspapers also say he was known locally by the name Rutter. They are very interesting

regards,

Katrina

Katrina,

Checked my nots - nothing about his family...I was, in fairness, concentrating on the murder only.  Quick check via Family Search revealed nothing; but I haven't done any prolonged delving.  Neither do I have credits with Ancestry, though I got a James Rutterford, born around 1843-4.  You might be able to go  from here.

Sorry that I can't help further - but, if you do have success, please let me know.  It'd be intersting to 'complete' the picture.

On the 1891 Census there is a James Rutterford in prison in Portland Dorset.

James Rutterford  age 48  Single . Labourer . born  Holywell Row in Suffolk .
I can find no trace of him in 1901 Census so the 1893 death mentioned by Katrina seems the likely one.

Suffolk Sue - the Local History Recorder for the parish of Eriswell has much more to say about neighbouring Lakenheath in her annual report than what has been happening in nearby Eriswell - so I think you have probably found him, the two places being so close together  Grin
