Huttons of greenside Edinburgh

[Nzinga8]

Hi all, Looking for any info on the parents of a John telfer Hutton born 1856 Edinburgh Midlothian. I know he married a Maggie McIntyre not sure of the date or year of marriage. Most of their children were born in Ireland where John later died in 1915. Been searching for about 2yrs but keep getting nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Where and when was their first child born

Hey, in the 1911 census they are living in wishaw and it states that Maggie and all of their children were born in Ireland. I know that John later moved to belfast and died there in 1915. I’m struggling to find any info on John’s parents.

John Hutton born 1856 Edinburgh- son of William Hutton and Margaret Bowers.
Also:
John Hutton born 1856 Edinburgh- son of James Hutton and Mary Guthrie.
Also:
John Hutton born 1856 -son of James Hutton and Isabella Nichol at Colinton, Midlothian

What are the names of John and Maggie's children?-It might help to identify the name of John's parents.

The names of the kids are Christina, John, Helen, Samuel, Janet, and David. They had 11 children and at the time of the census in 1911 only 9 children were still living. Not sure of the other kids names. The Guthrie connection would be the right one I think as John had a brother Robert Guthrie Hutton who was transported to NZ, I matched with someone on dna who has Robert as an ancestor. Thank you so much!

Was length of marriage stated?
Do you have birth registrations of all the children? They should tell you John's abode & occupation at the time and may provide clues to time frame & place of marriage.

[Nzinga8]

It says the length of marriage at the date or census as 27yrs. I don’t have birth certificate for Christina as she is my direct ancestor. I have her death certificate but it only states her age at death.

[Nzinga8]

On Christina’s marriage certificate it stated her father as John telfer Hutton a blacksmith journeyman.

I think I might have been looking at your online a/try tree with the image of the 1911 census, Nzinga8.

This also shows John as a blacksmith by trade. Struggling to see them so far in 1901.

The image is not that sharp unfortunately. I think son David looks to have been born in Scotland (Lanarkshire?). Can you check on your copy (if it is your tree!) what it says for his birth place please?

Their daughter Christina married in Scotland in 1909? Is it from this record that you have been able to confirm her mother's name as being Margaret McIntyre?
