The Common Room / Re: "Separated" as marital status in 1836 marriage banns.
« on: Thursday 23 November 23 18:03 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for your answer Dundee. I quite agree.

Quote from: heywood on Thursday 23 November 23 13:04 GMT (UK)
The record I saw did not show ‘separated’ just ‘Sp.’


The Ancestry listing referring to Separated is wrongly linked to the PR transcript.

The main thing is, that as Heywood has already pointed out, 'separated' has been substituted for 'sp'. And as I said before, what a silly mistake!

Thanks for all your thoughts.

Sorry - I think my post was unclear! :-[    The marriage is recorded in the Guestling Register (original on Ancestry). The transcript (also on Ancestry) introduced the muddle.

I was asking about the marital status being described (by Ancestry?) as "Separated". Surely this cannot be correct - it's a modern concept. I think Heywood's explanation is right - someone has interpreted 'sp' as 'Separated' rather than as 'spinster'. But what a silly mistake.     

Thanks Heywood! and everyone who helped.

The Common Room / "Separated" as marital status in 1836 marriage banns.
« on: Wednesday 22 November 23 17:56 GMT (UK)  »
Supposedly, Banns were read in Guestling church in 28 December 1836 for George Jenkins and Hannah Sinden.....Clearly then an Ancestry typo/muddle with the PR transcript, as the couple actually married on 28 December 1836..

But what intrigues me - is, who decided to mark the Banns entry as "marital status: Separated"? Really? In 1836? How do you find the evidence for that?!

The Lighter Side / Re: Singlewoman, not always a spinster. Ditto for singleman and bachelor.

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".

Australia / Rowland Hutchison alias St. George?
« on: Thursday 08 June 23 14:50 BST (UK)  »
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!
