Hutchison/Hutchinson

[NooshieW]

Hi,
Apologies ,but this is a vague request. I have never been able to go further back on one branch of my family, as I am stuck at 1768 with the birth of my 3 x Gt grandfather Henry Burton who died just before the 1851 census in Cornwall, so I have no birthplace. He named two of his children ‘Hutchinson’ as their middle names.,sometimes transcribed as ‘Hutchison’.  My DNA has revealed 25% Scottish. I have no Scots anywhere in any other lines of my family, but this ‘Hutcheson’ remains a mystery.
I was wondering if there were any Hutcheson/ Burton marriages in Scotland or any Hutcheson families in Aberdeenshire where my family appears to have a link.
My late father wore a green and red tartan, embraced some sort of Scots heritage, but we don’t know why. He lived in Aberdeenshire for a while in his teens.(he died when I was 2).
We haven’t a clue where to go with this.
Any help would be great,but it is a long shot we know.

Almost all of the historical birth/baptism, banns/marriage and death records in Scotland is available at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. You can search the indexes free of charge and it's pay-per-view to see the full documents.

I'm afraid there are a lot of tartans that are red and green, but if you don't know which tartan it was or why he thought he had a connection to it, it won't be much help.

Did he go to school in Aberdeenshire? It might be worth looking to see if there are any school records available that might help. Try https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/services/libraries-and-archives/aberdeen-city-and-aberdeenshire-archives to start with.

In the period 1650 – 1800 on https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
 (Pay to view, free to search)

There were more than 500 hundred Burton’s born in Scotland none in Aberdeenshire and no Henry in Scotland around 1768.

There were nearly 7000 people with the name Hutchinson or similar with more than 600 born in Aberdeenshire but only one marriage.

There are also a few marriages in England over the same period.

Is this Henry’s death?

Do you have Henry on the 1841 census or do you know when and who he married?

Hi yes, Henry lived in Falmouth. He is in the 1841 census as Barton. It states he is ‘not born in county’.
I imagine that the ‘Hutchinson’ he puts in his children’s names could be his mother’s maiden name, but I have never been able to progress , as I don’t know where he was born .
I have been looking for twenty years!!
His wife was Elizabeth Taylor. So it was a Taylor/Burton marriage, sadly with no diamonds to inherit!!

[Forfarian]

I can see why it has been transcribed as Barton - the original is a bit ambiguous.

However it says 'N' in the column for 'where born' rather than 'S' which is what it should show if he had told the enumerator he was born in Scotland.

There are no baptisms of a B*rton with mother's surname H*ch*s*n* on Scotland's People, so if he was born in Scotland any record has almost certainly not survived.

As posted earlier the 1841 census would indicate the Henry was most likely born in England
No S for Scotland or I for Ireland. I think the middle name might have come from Henry’s grandmother, which was more often the case but not always.I did pick up a few things some of which you already know. I will have another look for Henry tomorrow.

Thank you so much. I am thrilled to see the witnesses as this helps to reinforce my research. I was never positive Rebecca Kelway, was correct and the ‘Taylder’ name is a great help, as Elizabeth was transcribed as Taylor on her wedding.
My direct ancestor is Henry born 1806. He is my great great grandfather. He married in St Austell to Mary Ann Creba. He was a mariner, I have never found his death and don’t know why he married in St Austell.
The Henry aged 13 on the 1841 census is a complete mystery . The people he is living with are too old to be his parents . I don’t think he is a grandson, as none of the generation above would be old enough to have a 13 year old son at that time, so who is he? I wondered whether he was my gt gt grandfather and someone said ‘he’s thirty’ and it was mistranscribed. My Henry’s age constantly changes on records. He was born 1806, but is a different age at marriage.

If he was 13 in 1841, he was born 1827/1828. Rebecca b 1804 is old enough to have been his mother, and Henry b 1806 or Richard b 1809 would have been old enough to be his father.

All on Ancestry.

Mary Hutchinson - died 1732
Marriage Date:   28 Mar 1695
Marriage Place:   Darton, All Saints, Yorkshire,
Spouse:   George Burton – died 1714

John 1698 (May have died Darton 1759),
George 1700, married Hannah Todd 1728. 4 daughters and 1 son John 1738 (Died?) & 1740.
Hannah wife George died 1765
Elisabeth Burton died Darton 1737 – father George

Edward 1703, no clear trace after.

Name   John Burton
Spouse   Marthea Lawson
Marriage   21/04/1759 Sudbury, Derbyshire

Children Parish Church of Sudbury, Derbyshire baptisms John & Marthoa

John Burton 5 Nov 1760, Edward Burton 17 Dec 1761, Thomas Burton 24 May 1763

Catherine Burton 2 Jun 1764, Henry Burton 4 Nov 1766.

The names of the children above might link John to the 1740 birth in Yorkshire.

So is Henry 1766 the link to the Hutchinson’s  future  research will be necessary, one snag is that Mary Hutchinson is the great grandmother and I am sure there will be others but it might be worth following up?
