Thanks for trying. At least I know what kind of information to expect.

Hello! I am of the opinion that my Hutchinson ancestors were early colonists to the USA and returned around 1700 and settled in the south-east of England. Most Hutch's are from the North and early settlers to the colonies developed a huge Hutch family in the Boston, Mass area. Miss Philadelphia Hutchinson may also be a clue and a touch of Native American in the DNA (pinch of salt). If anyone knows where I could search for returnees I would be very grateful. Thanks.

My ancestor Josiah Price (coal porter) was killed in a railway accident in Stratford, London 1867, which orphaned his two daughters (one my GGMother) I wondered if it was the same Josiah Price (coal porter) as the Coroners report September 4th 1869, page 3 in London Stratford Times And Bow And Bromley News And South Essex Gazette. It would be great if someone can check for me. There is a tantalizing except in Google Search...I, io:ham, deputy coroner for W'csi i : : i|iU-. on the Ih. :of Josiah Price, a coal ]inrt'r. ii'ci i''i. wi. ... After the occurrence at St. I'aul's witness saw him in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, Ho said, “ Did you hear of tha accident I met with in reply to a juror, the witness said he felt certain tliat his father used the word “ accident...."

I found this in Railway Archives but no names "A party of men in the employ of Messrs. Waring were engaged in loading rails on to a lorry which stood upon the siding about 30 yards from the facing points; and the driver of the 5h. 50m. p.m. down goods train, which consisted of a tank engine, a two empty and 27 loaded waggons, and a break van, approached Old Ford station, he found the signals were all right for him to proceed, and about 10 yards before he reached the points he noticed that they were open for the siding, and he immediately whistled, shut the regulator, and called out to the men who were engaged in loading the lorry, who, with the exception of two that were on the lorry, had time to get out of the way. The engine of the train, which is supposed to have been running at from 15 to 20 miles an hour, ran against the lorry and broke it to pieces, killing one of the two men and injuring another so much that he has subsequently died. The engine then continued its course along the siding, and next came in contact with a truck of bricks, and was thrown off the rails, and subsequently came in contact with the tender of the ballast engine."

Thanks in advance!

Thanks all for your efforts. Did anyone find their 1881 address in 1891 census?

If anyone has any information on the McPhersons, Cairnie by Huntly, 1800 and before, I would love to hear.

I am piecing the information from FamilySearch but there seems to be big gaps.  My ancestor is George McPherson b 1785, the son of William and Elizabeth Moir. Thank you in advance.
