Robert HUTTON/ Catherine DOWNEY late 19th century

[Siouxsie]

Dear Ann,
Catherine's son, John Thomas, was my great grandfather. catherine married a Barnard Connor and she died in Flemington in Victoria in 1919 aged 86. The death certificate registration number is Reg 1787. She died as Cath Connor and was living at her daughter's house at the stage.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Susie

I should like to wish a VERY happy Christmas to everyone who has participated in this fascinating thread. When I made the first posting, I had no idea that it would lead to so much amazing information, or that I would meet such friendly, generous and supportive people. It's been a real privilege to meet you, and I hope each of you enjoys a fine holiday followed by a New Year of solid progress with your family history research.

Dear Ian
Wishing you a fabulous festive season and hoping to hear more about your journey with Catherine's family, the Pages.

I too am extremely grateful and astonished by the amount of information that I have been privy to about my ancestors, and the generosity of the Rootschat community as well as their humour and their excitement for us at discovering forebears that they themselves have no ties to.......this is real community at work (and play).

Happy holidays
Susie

Happy New Year to all,
I am a very happy lassie....just got a copy of Robert's death certificate from the State Archives (Tas). His profession is listed as "Accountant" however he died of Phthisis..black lung disease on 10 August 1880.

 Only happy about getting the certificate..not happy about the cause of death.

Ian......I have sent you a copy by email for your records.

Cheers
