Aspley Guise, Bedfordshire LOOKUP request fro HUTTON

[suepearce]

My interpretation of that if his fatherwas deceased it would refer to "next of kin" which would be his eldest brother Frederick.

[seahall]

Thanks that at least would make sense, except it says name of Father and Mother.

As I'm not entirely sure what newspaper references you each have, or don't have, I'll just post the others I've come across (I'm omitting the ones included on the MK Heritage website re. Weathercock Inn).

An order for 2s. 6d. per week anc costs was made on Joseph Salmons, junr., coachbuilder, Newport, on the complaint of Rebecca Hutton, of Woburn Sands, that he was the father of her illegitmate child.

Rebecca is likely the daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth, and her child is likely Elizabeth (b abt 1859).

James Hutton

Woburn - Petty Sessions, April 12
Game Laws. - George Harris made a charge against James Hutton, a noted poacher, living at Aspley Guise, who has been convicted about 20 times. Geo. White, gamkeeper to the Duke of Bedford, proved his setting a snare on Aspley Heath, the 29th March. As he did not appear, the highest penalty was inflicted.


There's several references to James Hutton and I presume it's the younger James in the area, and quite possibly the same one who appears a few times in the Bedfordshire Gaol Register.

WOBURN SANDS
SUICIDE OF A TRADESMAN

On Friday morning, the 30th, the quiet village of Aspley Guise was thrown into a state of unwanted excitement by the report that Mr. Frederick Hutton, master builder, of Woburn Sands, had committed suicide by hanging himself in Mr. Sullivan's coach house at Westridge. The report proved to be only too true, and people at once began to conjecture the reason for his rash act. During the summer he had contracted to build a new wing at Westridge, and the thought that he was some time beyond the date he had given for finishing the job had evidently preyed upon his mind and it was noticed that he had been rather depressed of late, but no one had the slightest idea that the genial and highly-respected Mr Hutton would die by his own hand.

An inquest was held at the Duke's Head public house on Friday evening, before Mr F. T. Tranqueray, coroner for Ampthill district, the jury being composed of Messrs. T. Day (foreman), A. J. Paxiou[?], T. Wilson, J. Everitt, T. Smith, G. Cooke, W. Caustin, and J. Shotbolt.

The first witness called was Frederick Hutton, builder, Aspley Guise, son of the deceased, who deposed that his father was 75 years old last July. Deceased had contract for building M. Mahon's house. Witness knew noting about the work. He had a conversation with his father about the work about a fortnight ago, and he told him he thought he shouldn't get out with it very well. Deceased had been very depressed in spirit of late, the sole cause of the depression being the work in which he was engaged. His father had hardly had a day's illness in his life. Witness had no knowledge of the contract but knew Mr. Mahon would be lenient to his father. His mother told him that the deceased had been depressed for some six weeks. He had never spoken of committing suicide.

Thomas Henry Hayter, gardener at Westridge, stated that about nine o'clock he saw Hutton, who passed and spoke to witness in a low kind of way. He thought there was something wrong with him then. He had noticed the depression for several days. He had seen him most days, he seemed very absent-minded, and witness could not make him out. Witness had to get to Woburn Sands by ten o'clock, and after he came back he stayed in his own garden for some time. He got back to Westridge about half-past ten, and went into the coach-house to put a barrow up. He turned round, and saw as he thought, Hutton climbing up a ladder, and the noticed what was the matter. He at once ran into the house and fetched the painters. Deceased was hanging below a trap-door but witness did not notice the distance his feet were from the ground. The shock sent him off his head a little. Two painters went back with him and found Hutton dead. Witness then fetched the police who came and cut him down. They didn't alter deceased position until the policeman came. Witness suggested cutting him down, but Sharp said there was no occasion to that as he was quite dead.

Harry Sharp, painter, of Ridgmont, deposed that he was engaged in painting at Westridge. He had seen the deceased during the morning about nine o'clock; he just spoke to him and he appeared very quiet. He noticed that for a day or two he seemed like one lost. Hayter called him about half-past ten and they went to the stable and found deceased hanging by a rope from the purloin of the loft though the trap-door. His feet were about a foot from the ground. He felt his hand and found it perfectly cold; he then put his hand under his waistcoat, but there was no motion of the heart, and he concluded he was dead, The face was placid and quite white - no discolouration whatever.

A Juryman thought it should be more generally known that the first thing a person should do on finding another hanging by a rope was to cut the rope and wait for a policeman.

John Atterbury, labourer who had worked for deceased, said he had seen him that morning while at work. He seemed worried about the work - nothing else. He didn't get on fast enough; it seemed too much for him. The rope was an ordinary scaffold[?] rope, there were lots of them in the coach-house.

P.c. Frederick Askew said he was called at twenty minutes to eleven by Thomas Henry Hayter, and he at once went to Westridge, where he found the deceased hanging in the stable. He produced[?] the rope found round his neck. The knot was just behind the ear. He cut him down. He was quite dead. Witness felt the body and it was warm, but the hands and face were quite cold. That was at eleven o'clock. The body was getting stiff; the arms were stiff, and the face pallid. One eye was open, and it looked like life. The eyes and tongue were not protruding, He searched the body and found a purse containing a cheque for £20 from Mr Mahon, 7s. 6d. in silver, 11d. in coppers, and two stamps. He also found various papers and plans relating to the building in his pocket.

The Coroner here read a letter found on the deceased from Mr. W. H. C. Mahon, dated Dec 24th. In this letter Mr Mahon said that if Mr. Hutton could satisfy Mr. Murray (the architect) that his estimate was too low, he would be willing to make it up to him, and he advanced a cheque for £20 on account.

This closed the evidence, and the jury came to the conclusion that the deceased was not accountable for his action at the time, and a verdict was returned that the deceased committed suicide by hanging while in a state of temporary insanity.

Thanks for typing up the transcriptions.

I love that John Atterbury is in the last one as he married into my Sibley line and I had already
seen that article and sent to Sue.

I am just going to clarify some information from original marriages.

1846 Caroline Hutton, father is noted as John Hutton Farmer, witness Henry Hutton (brother)

1849 Henry Hutton a Farmer, father John Hutton Farmer, no family witnessed.

1849 Frederick Hutton a Builder, father is noted as John Hutton Inn Keeper, witness Arthur Hutton.

It is too nice a day to stay indoors, just to clarify more.

Parents seem to be Henry Hutton oo  ?  Rulton.  Elizabeth b 1850 and William Henry b 1852, both in Newport Pagnell, Bucks.  William baptised 24 June 1853 in Wavendon.  Newport Pagnell only 8 miles north of Aspley Guise.

These children were born at Wavendon in the registration district of Newport Pagnell, hence being
baptised in the P.C. there. http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/bkm.html

I did have a look for Susannah Huttons and there's 2 marriages, one in 1833 to Joseph Morris Day and another in 1837 (possibly) to John Thomas Stratford.

This Susannah was the daughter of Michael Hutton of full age marrying John Thomas Stratford
in 1837.

2. John Hutton
John son of Joseph Hutton (farmer) & Elizabeth Cooper, baptised 1791 Husborne Crawley.
John married Elizabeth Norris 1824 Ridgmont

This John dies in 1791 and in Joseph's will of 1814 he says to his only son John whom
must be the one of 1796 as it mentions my relative Kitty and 2 other sisters.
