James Mutch, Canal Street, Aberdeen 1908

[kenny2016]

Hi all,

Does any one have information on James Mutch who resided at 19 Canal Street, Woodside in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1908?
Apparently he was a railway porter around that time.
What became of him? and who was he descended from?

Thanks for looking.....

Hi Kenny do you have a date of birth for James Mutch and who he was living with or any other information

No I've nothing other than what he did and where he stayed in 1908. I would guess he was aged around 20 (plus or minus 5 years or so)

There's a service record for a James Mutch b. c. 1890 residing in Aberdeen (1916). Gives an address of 1 Lamont (could be Lamond) Place. Aberdeen. Wife Jessie (Simpson). Occ. carter.
Canal St. is just 1/2 ml. away.
Does this ring any bells ?

What is this in reference to ?

Have you tried Scotlands People 1911 census to see if he is still at this address ? or the Valuation Rolls

Hi Kenny

Is this James Mutch living in Canal Street in 1908 perhaps a reputed father of a child born then?

There is a William Mutch and family living at 7 Canal Street in 1905 from the Valuation Rolls. He was born I think in Udny in 1867. Can't see a James connected to his siblings (parents Andrew Mutch and Barbara Webster).

With the occupation you mentioned for the James Mutch in 1908, there is this possible 1901 census entry:

Elizabeth Riddle 57 b. Glasgow
Robert Riddle 25 b. Glasgow
James Mutch 22 boarder, railway porter b. Aberdeen
Bella Brown 16 ward
Ronald M Mckennon 36 boarder

Address: 22 Petershill Rd Glasgow/Dennistoun

1911 doesn't have a James Mutch living in Woodside. There are several in Aberdeen age range 25-40.
