Dear all,
I turned off the computer early yesterday as we were going out. Imagine my delight this morning to see all of your posts. I will add a post in the NZ board to see if we can locate John Augustus.
This letter must be 50+ years old and the handwriting is hard to read, but I have deciphered the following information:
Robert Joseph's father was Robert Hutton,a silk merchant and draper from 36 (or 50) South Bridge Edinburgh. He married Eliza Warwick, daughter of Joseph Warwick, Jeweler of London on 23 Oct 1828 at Clarkenwell(?). Robert Hutton's father was Peter Hutton, farmer White Hill, Fifeshire.
It also seems that Dinah, Robert and Peter were born at 29 Barclough(?) Place and the rest of the children were born at South Bridge.
Just realised that it was Peter William that came to Australia, David died in Scotland at 4 (sorry, trying to interpret this letter is a little hard). She also says that Peter died in NZ too, so I will add him to the NZ post.
She says that she is George Frederick's daughter, but there is no name attached, so I don't know which of the many girls she is.
Many thanks for all the information......I'll add it all to my tree today.
I also got a heap of information on the Knights (Mary Victoria Hutton) that I need to digest and add to the tree too. Would you like this information on Mary Victoria's family along with her husband's family posted when I have sorted it out?
A very happy Susie
