The use of "Single" instead of "Bachelor" or "Spinster" might be more acceptable these (days in regards to marriage)....but it begs the question a little, because a person who is 'in a relationship' might not be regarded as "Single".

Thanks for all who have replied.

I've tried to follow up the Anns: Flint, Nettlefold and Hurt (?Sturt) with little success so far. ???
I'll look into Luckens too....

Australia / Rowland Hutchison alias St. George?

Rowland Hutchison alias St. George?

Rowland HUTCHISON was obviously known as such - although his birth was registered (Battle, Sussex, England 1852) as William Rowland. He was baptised at Crowhurst 26 May 1852, William Rolan son of Thomas and Harriet. The baptism record clearly indicates that there was a muddle about his Christian names.

1861 Census Crowhurst – Rowland Hutchison 8, b. Crowhurst

1871 Census Crowhurst (Ecclesiastical Parish St. George* see below) – Rowland Hutchison 18 Wheelwright

6 September 1873 Crowhurst: Rowland Hutchinson, Wheelwright, married Mary Ann Hutchinson d. of Henry Hutchinson, Wheelwright

1881 Census St. Mary’s in the Castle Hastings - Rowland Hutchingson 28 Painter; wife Mary 30; sons Thomas 6 and George 2

I can find no trace of Rowland after 1881.

1891 Census St. Mary’s in the Castle Hastings – Mary A. Hutchinson 40 Head, Married, Laundress; three sons Thomas 16, George 11 and Edward 7; one Boarder John Douch 58 Single, General Laborer

1901 Census St. Mary’s in the Castle Hastings – Mary Hutchison 49 Servant, Married, Housekeeper Domestic, with Smith family 

Mary Ann Hutchinson died 1909 DQ Hastings, aged 59

There is no apparent death registration/burial in England for Rowland.

However, Ancestry has a reference to the NSW Register of Coroners’ Inquests – Roland William St. George* death year c. 1884. I have tried to find a death registration, but with no success.  (To be honest, I’m struggling find my way around the Australian records……). 

Could this be the same person using an alias?

Please can anyone help!

.......... "conducting a ‘duplicate’ baptism wouldn’t be particularly lucrative for the cleric."

Surely baptism was/is never bought?

Technical Help / Problem with Amazon Account
« on: Saturday 27 May 23 18:24 BST (UK)  »
Please can someone tell me how to sign out of my Amazon Account on the Amazon Website?

In the Help page it says: "You can sign out of your Amazon account by selecting Sign Out in the Account & Lists drop-down. In the drop-down menu that appears, select Sign Out".

Yes - but it won't work, at least I can't manage to do so! I can't scroll down to the end of the menu, whatever I do.

Please help.
Thank you.
