The transcription of the full details from the birth certificate of John Thomas Hutton born 1863 are available from here......

http://home.vicnet.net.au/~mgfhs/dawnh2.htm


It's a bit of a kerfuffle for you to order the details from overseas for that tiny amount of money.

Victorian certificates often have amazing amounts of information on them.

"Births
Date and place of birth; name of child and whether present or not; name of parents (including mother's maiden name); occupation of parents; ages and birthplace of parents; date and place of marriage of parents; previous children of their marriage noting living or deceased; signature, description and address of the person who gave the information; names of witnesses; date and place of registation. " (courtesy of Jenn's entry in the Australian Resources .)


If you would like the details, I am quite happy to see if I can get them for you. I actually have some spare certificates that I've been meaning to send her anyway......

Should have realised  Dee you  would go  the extra mile  before posting.  That certificate should  be able to verify  that  Ian is on  the right track  with  the marriage to Robert Hutton.

Catherine, I think, married a Scot called Robert Hutton in Adelaide in 1857. [Robert Joseph Hutton, born Edinburgh 28 Jan 1831, coal miner, emigrated to Australia (gold miner) to Victoria – married Catherine Downey 15 Jan 1857 in Adelaide: had 7 children then went to Tasmania (Clerk/accountant). Robert Hutton died 10 Aug 1880 Emu Bay (Burnie) Tasmania]. In 1883 in Emu Bay Catherine remarried: to Barnard Conner (b. 1813) transportee? Conner was 20 years older than Catherine. So, the people mentioned in replies born Emu Bay must surely be descendants of Catherine.

Again, thanks for all replies – I shall be noting and recording all the names so far put forward, and continuing in my search for more on Catherine’s life in Australia.
Ian

Ian, there are references to two Bernard Connors in the Convict records of Tasmania.
http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/nameindexes
Link to Tasmanian Convicts and put Connor into the search engine. The reference number by each will give you more information with more reference links. Clicking on them will give you item details and allow you to view digital images.
