Cork / Birth date & Emigration details: Chute, W. B
« on: Tuesday 21 October 08 05:35 BST (UK) »
Thanks for opening my message!!
Here is what I know so far
My mother only knew her great grandfathers name; William burleigh Chute.
During my research I found the chute family web page with only this name beneath Rev Jon Chute and Jane lucinda Burleigh.
I think this could be the same person, if it is then he was born in county cork Ireland possibly 1832?
I also found this name printed in a book called School of engineering; examination for diploma (1857) I believe this could be the same person?
If this is correct then he somehow got to Fiji where my mother was born and started a family there. I have found out W.B's brother emigrated to Australia in about 1872? so this must be the link
If anyone could help me you would make my mum really happy and would make my day!!
