Cheshire Completed Lookup Requests / 1841/1851/1861 Minshull Vernon
« on: Friday 01 October 04 20:21 BST (UK) »
Greetings - I am a new member and this is my first post, so forgive me if I'm completely lost.
My G-G-Grandfather, Joseph Dutton, was born 16 Feb 1840 at Minshull Vernon (according to Cheshire Records Office - Nantwich Reg. District), and a family bible indicates that he was born in Winsford, Middlewich, so his family lived somewhere in that general area.
His parents were Joseph and Rebecca (Preston) Dutton. If anybody has access to an index or census where you might find info on the family, I'd greatly appreciate any info on his parents (such as ages/est. years of birth). IGI indicates that a Joseph Dutton and Rebecca Preston married in Middlewich on 12 Jul 1819, and this could be his parents, but finding the family in the census would tell me if his parents were old enough to have been married 21 years before his birth. Info about siblings would also be appreciated.
I assumed with his name being the same as his fathers that he was a first son, but I suppose it's possible that an earlier son named Joseph died and they reused the name, or perhaps he only had older sisters, explaining why he may have been born 21 years after his parents married.
Joseph and his wife (Sarah Bates of Lincolnshire) married in Brotton Church (North Riding of Yorkshire) in 1872, and brought their family to the U.S. about 1883 (along with Sarah's mother Mary Stacey-Bates, Sarahs sister Isabella Bates-Jefferson & her family, and Sarahs brother Richard Bates and his family).
A cousin of mine here in the U.S. received a letter around 1935 or so stating that he was the next male in the line of decent, and asking if he'd like to return to England to be properly educated to take over the family manor (it was in the posession of three Ladies Dutton), but he wasn't interested. That's the last contact we know of with our Dutton relatives in Cheshire.
Would be great to find some cousins from across the sea!
