KELLEHER, Ellen (Emu Bay Tas) (Also known as Ellen Hutton)

[Siouxsie]

Dear Webby,
Oops......in my excitement, I forgot about the 1900 cutoff!

However the marriage certificate comes is wonderful....it will be interesting to see if they signed or X'ed. I will certainly register for the mailing list.....and hopefully connect with some more rellies (living oes!)

Cheers
Susie

Hi Susie

Well I have your copies of Ellen & JT's marriage together with the birth registration of the kids.  Interesting to note that the father's occupation went from a Labourer (with Mary Victoria) to a Hairdresser!!!! until the last birth which Ellen registered and she had JT as being a Barber!!

Whilst having a look at the Launceston Examiner Newspaper 1897-1899 the following death was listed I think is Ellen's father. 

27/1/1899 - KELLEHER John.  A native of Co.Cork Ireland and late of Bendigo Victoria on 19 January at his residence, Walker Street Waratah aged 71 yrs 5 mths 2 days  (Bendigo, Vic papers please copy).

Couldn't find anything else unfortunately.

If you would like to send me your mailing details (by private message) I will post the sheets on to you.

Dear Webby,
Many thanks.....you are a star

John started out as a tin dresser at the Bischoff Tin Mine in Waratah, Tas before becoming a barber/tobacconist and then set up a shop in Waratah. He then moved to Corowa, again opening a barber/tobacconist shop before he settled finally in Inverell NSW where he again opened a barber/tobacconist shop.....in his spare time he apparently was a trapeze artist!

Dear Webby,
Many thanks for the certificates.........much appreciated.

They arrived yesterday afternoon and I will pass them onto my mother when I visit her next week......she is very excited to see them.

I have made the decision to have the Tas BDM do a search for Ellen's death.......... She was last documented in 1907 having Reginald, but the Tas Federation Indexes go up to 1930 and she hasn't been located on them.........so I will take a punt and go for a search from 1930-1960 (she would have been 95 in 1960)........wish me luck.

Cheers

Hi Susie
I'm glad you received the certificates ok and I know your mother will enjoy looking at them.....I think you have made the right decision re Ellen and the children. 
It surely would be great to find out where she went!!! 

Did she take the three children with her!!

Or if not and they stayed in Tasmania.....were they using a different name!.

More questions than answers......as usual!

Dear Webby,
Just back from the gym having been brutalised by a trainer! 

The certificates are making the trip to my mother's next week and she is already excited about seeing them. Again....my profound thanks.

I am getting a search for Ellen's death done in Tasmania and hopefully that will yield some results (and possibly brand my great grandfather as a bigamist! ) and if it's successful, I will then tackle the other 4 children (Frederick was born after JT Huton had gone to NSW although his name was on the certificate and none of the original 3 children knew of his existence ).........and if needs be, tackle them state by state!.......although if they were adopted/farmed out/used another name, then I may be in for a real mystery!
Cheers
Susie

Hi Susie,

I have found details of the people that are buried at Marrawah Cemetery.
Sorry but there are no Huttons buried here. I have sent an email asking for any information that they may have on the Huttons.
Will let you know how I go.
