What happened to Thomas HUTCHISON?

[ctrunfree]

Hi people

A couple of years down the track and I'm still no closer to working out what became of the Shoemaker Thomas (sometimes James?) HUTCHISON (sometimes HUTCHESON), who was born in Antrim around 1823.  He was alive at his daughter Sarah's wedding in 1883, but can't be found in the 1891 Census, or in any death record.  I'm actually going to be in Glasgow in a week or so and it would be great if I could find an answer before I get there.  Any suggestions?

Thomas is with his family in 1871

Sarah aged 48 (wife)
Susan 22
William 18
John 15
Helen 13
Sara 9
Archibald 5.....born Glasgow

1881
Address
5 Bell St
Calton

Thomas age 59 widower born Ireland..shoemaker
Archibald age 16 born Glasgow....Blacksmith

Archibald appears to be married in 1891 no sign of Thomas in 1891 census

Yes, except for the marriage two years later (in 1883) he seems to disappear.

Why do you think that the James Hutchison mentioned in Sarah's wedding reg (as a witness?) is Thomas? This James likely a family member?

Thomas' son John married in 1889 to a Sarah McFadyen? If so, what showed for his father?

Monica- the marriage certificate has "James" HUTCHISON, Journeyman Shoemaker, who was a widower previously married to Sarah BROWN (who died in 1872).  This all fits with what we have for Thomas.

I can't find the HUTCHISON/McFADYEN wedding on Ancestry or Scotlands People.  Do you have further details?

Ahh..ok. See what you mean now re Thomas v. James.

Son John and marriage. I think there is error in what I saw online. I think this may be what happened but it is guesswork to consider.

There is a marriage in 1878 between a John Hutchison and a Sarah McFadyen in the Camlachie area of Glasgow. Possible census entry below for 1881:

John Hutchison 26 blacksmith b. Ireland
Sarah Hutchison 26 b. Glasgow
Euphemia Hutchison 1 b. Glasgow

Address: 33 Wesleyan St, Glasgow/Camlachie

There is a death in Camlachie for a Sarah Hutchison/McFadyen, aged 33, in 1889.

There is a marriage in Kirkintilloch Dunbartonshire in 1889 between a John Hutchison and a Mary Quail. The detail that I mentioned for a marriage (to a Sarah McF) showed a date of 8 June 1889.

There is then this 1891 Census entry which supports a second marriage for John:

John Hutcheson 36 blacksmith b. Ireland
Mary Hutcheson 42 b. Kirkintilloch, Dumbartonshire
Euphemia Hutcheson 11
John Hutcheson 9
Thomas Hutcheson 7
Sarah Hutcheson 4
Samuel Hutcheson 2

Address: 165 Springfield Rd, Glasgow/ Bridgeton

Just a note on addresses. John and wife Sarah show in 1881 at 33 Wesleyan St, Camlachie. Archie and his wife in 1891 show at 37 Wesleyan St, Camlachie.

1. Not to be confused with my Archibald Hutchison, son of Isaac and Agnes, b 1874 in Carluke, still there in 1891, but appears to have died in Denniston in 1891. Why did he move to Glasgow ?
