Hutchins Baptism Lymington 1831

[shopbooth]

Hello

I'm hoping to find details of my GG Grandfather who on later census records records his place of birth as Lymington, Hampshire.

Herbert HUTCHINS b.~1831

Father:  Richard HUTCHINS (from marriage record 1855)

Could anyone please check records to see if there is any record of this - and ideally a pointer to his mother's name?

Thanks

There is a marriage for a Richard HUTCHINS to Jane HOUSE  29th June 1818 at Lymington

Herbert HUTCHINGS, son of Richard & Jane was baptised 27th September 1829 also at Lymington.

Many thanks  - that sounds promising.

From Gen UK I would assume the Church would be St. Thomas' - again assuming CofE

Are then any other records of siblings born to Richard & Jane - presumably between 1820 and 1829 there would have been children.  I can't find anything on Fam Search so not transcribed for this parish?

Later generations seem to repeat the same collection of family names so these may well have originated from Richard & Jane's children.

I've searched the 1841 census for Richard/Herbert but to no avail.
Herbert was a mariner in later life - in North East UK
his parents may have emmigrated to USA - but only on slightest of evidence

Any further help much appreciated.

Richard and Jane also had the following children baptised at Lymington:

William  24th December 1820
Edwin  26th January 1823
Mary  10th July 1825

I haven't found Richard and Jane in 1841 yet.

Mmmm

You'd think that Herbert and Edwin would stand out in 1841/51 census

I wonder if the family did indeed head for the States after Herbert was born...
A family tree records further children Emma (1837) and Barbara Ann (1842) as being born 'probably' in Oneida, New York State to Richard and Jane Hutchins.

I have never ventured into American records/census so not sure how I confirm this is same family??

I assume then that Herbert returned in 1850s to marry in Sunderland in 1855.  Again would there be any evidence on record that he lived in America in his childhood/youth??  I don't know...

Many thanks for help so far

Try posting on the US boards to see if anyone can help.

My relatives also moved from the Lymington area to Sunderland.  I think they worked on coal boats.

Thanks bearkat

I've posted on US board but no takers as yet...

I have since obtained the M Cert for Herbert Hutchins which shows his occupation as Master Mariner and his father Richard HUTCHINS as a Blacksmith.

Is there any record of a Blacksmith in Lymington by this name? 
I wonder if anyone with access to the Records Office for Lymington would be so kind as to look into the baptism record for any further details of Richard?

Thanks

Some of the 1841 census for Lymington is very faded - almost impossible to decipher. 

Have you seen this post on RootsWeb?

I wonder if the Elizabeth HUTCHINS mentioned below is related  (from Hampshire Marriage Licences)

24 February 1807    Dore, Edmund, of Lymington, blacksmith, & Elizabeth Hutchins, of the s., w., at ?
