2 HUTCHINSON Family Apparently James Hutchinson was born in Westmoreland in the late 1700s and moved to Glamorgan by about His son James Hutchinson (hereafter referred to as James (Jr.) though his name never appeared this way) was born in Glamorgan and then moved to Barnstaple Devon after the death of his first wife. All of James (Jr.) children ultimately left Glamorgan for the environs of London and other locales! So, this branch of the family was fairly mobile and not long-rooted, at least these two generations! The map i on page 3 (showing the old counties) gives you a sense of where these locales all are. With that said, let s now look at this family. Below is an abbreviated tree (created by Family Tree Maker ii in April 2005) showing how the Hutchinson family fits into the overall family structure. Eleanor Georgina Hutchinson is the most-recent Hutchinson family member and much of her life is covered in the MATTHEWS family write-up. Started: , Updated: Page 2 of 26

3 JAMES (JR) HUTCHINSON & GEORGINA CURREY HAWKINS We will start our discussion with the family of James (Jr.) and Georgina Currey Hawkins. An overview is provided on page 5. Birth, Marriage & Death Eleanor Georgina Hutchinson was one of at least seven children born to James (Jr.) and Georgina. Our sources for the list of children are a monument found at St. Illytud church (Newcastle) and associated burials iii, and various birth indices. Grave in Newcastle St. Illtud, B63 Sandstone headstone.

Fortunately, this family was easy to trace in the Census. It also provided clues and helped confirm the parentage of Georgina and correlated with birth and death information. In general, the census information is presented as Name, Relationship, Marital Status, Age, Occupation, Birth Place. Started: , Updated: Page 3 of 26

This census is great as the mother-in-law and sister-inlaw are living with the family you will find that the sister-in-law spent her whole life living with parts of this family! Here is an image of Nolton Street, Coity xv so, the Hutchinson family lived along this road somewhere. 1871; Coity, Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales xvi Brackla James Hutchinson, head, mar, 38, School Charter, Langenwyd, Glamorgan Georgina C Hutchinson, wife, mar, 43, London Edgar R.

This census makes us ask where are George James and Eleanor Georgina? Well, they are living with relatives, the Hawkins family! George James is living with his aunt, Frances Mary (or Fanny) Hawkins on Caroline Street in Bridgend. Eleanor is living with her uncle and his family including Eleanor s grandmother at the South Wales Hotel in Swansea. Here are the details. 1871; Coity, Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales xvii Caroline St. Fanny Hawkins, head, unmar, 33, Shop Assistant, Bristol Gloucestershire George James Hutchinson, nephew, 14, scholar, Bridgend Glamorganshire John Henry Aubry, Boarder, 5, scholar, Merthyn Glamorganshire 1871; Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales xviii 62 High Street, South Wales Hotel George Hawkins, head, married, 37, Licensed Victueller, Bristol Ann Hawkins, wife, Mar, 39, Glamorgan Bridgend Catherine Thomas, sister in law, unm 36, Assistant in Bar, Glamorgan Bridgend Frances Mary Hawkins, mother, widow, 68, school mistress, Bristol Eleanor Hutchinson, Niece, unm, 11, scholar, Glamorgan Bridgend And a servant, visitor and 2 boarders... For more on the Hawkins family including the Swansea locale and the South Wales Hotel, see the HAWKINS Family write-up. The next page is a map of Glamorgan xix to give you a sense of the relationship between Bridgend and Swansea and some of the other locales that may be mentioned. The modern map xx on the following page gives you an idea of where all these streets (Caroline St, Nolton St and Brackla Street (used as an approximation for the area called Bracka) are. They are concentrated in a small area of Bridgend which as we can see from the census were considered Coity. What s interesting is that these streets wouldn t be considered part of Coity today. The second map on the next page shows what in modern times is considered the relative location of Coity, Brackla and Newcastle (location of St. Illtud) the center of Bridgend is pretty much where all the red roads convene! So, when researching these families, the locale names have to be put in the context of the time of the document. Started: , Updated: Page 7 of 26

Notice that James is now a widow and that George is back at the house. Now we wonder where Eleanor and Edgar are! They are both found Edgar is living with the family of George Hawkins (his uncle) and Eleanor has married William Matthews. Note that they are living on Caroline Street, where Fanny Hawkins lived in 1871 wonder if at the same address? Here is an old postcard of Caroline Street, Bridgend. xxii Here s another undated photo of Caroline Street, Bridgend (same source) Started: , Updated: Page 10 of 26

11 1891; Barnstaple, Devonshire, England xxiii Castle Street James Hutchinson, head, M, 58, Commercial traveller, Glamorgan Maesteg Sarah Hutchinson, wife, M, 48, private Hotel Keeper, Devon Crechton William H. Warrin, visitor, M, 48, Commercial traveller, Suffolk Ipswich. It took awhile and we finally find James in Barnstaple, Devonshire in 1891 and he has remarried! Given that his occupation has remained constant, it might have been through his occupation that he traveled to Barnstaple and met and married Sarah Warren. In fact, as we look at this, we realize that the visitor is William Warrin, versus Warren maybe related to Sarah? We do not find James in the 1901 census though we do find his widow Sarah. We have not been successful in locating his death and since he was a Commercial Traveller he could have been anywhere. In the April Quarter of 1901 we find a James, 70, who died in Liverpool (vol 8b, page?? cannot read it!) xxiv Unfortunately, the 1901 Census was taken on 31 March 1901 and so Sarah wouldn t have yet been a widow so, this is an unlikely candidate. We have not been successful in finding where James and Sarah are buried this would help with pinpointing his death! Appendix B contains details on this second marriage for James Jr. and his subsequent life in Barnstaple. (We will tell you what is in Appendix A!) Started: , Updated: Page 11 of 26

12 Occupations James Jr & some other family members Now that we have identified where the family lived and the census has given some information on Occupations, let s list out the occupations of James. We were fortunate to be able to find him quite a bit in the local trade directories. First, we ll pull together what was found. This information is from both the census and period Directories. Second, if possible, we ll look a bit more into these occupations.

It looks like in 1868 that James had a side trade of Berlin wool repository on Caroline Street. So, in 1871 was James living on Caroline Street? (the census did not give a street location; it just stated Brackla and the other directory listing states Caroline Street). Also, his wife s sister, Frances Mary was living on Caroline Street were they in business together she s listed as a shop assistant? This occupation was also listed in 1880 and yet a year later he is listed as a Stationer?!?! Note also that in 1871 he was listed in a whole smorgasbord of positions! Very busy person! Note also that in 1878 & 1880 he was listed as the Clerk for the Bridgend Local Board of Health. We also asked, What is a Commercial Traveller? One answer received stated (... and) The term "traveller" was used for any person who travelled from door to door selling their goods; it was also a word used later to describe a sales representative selling to the retail trade. xxxvi EDGAR ROBERT HUTCHINSON This was the sibling of Eleanor who was the most fun to research. Any information found on the other siblings is presented in Appendix C. Besides what we knew from the 1881 earlier censuses, the rest of what we learned about Edgar was through serendipity. We just put his name in Google ( and got a hit that was consistent with census information. We had known that for many years he was a student and lived with the Hawkins family what we didn t know was that he was studying to become a priest in the Church of England.

Non-collegiate students were those attached to the hostels founded in the late nineteenth century with a view to providing less expensive access to the university by an avoidance of college fees. Some of these hostels, like Ayerst Hostel and Cavendish College, disappeared; others, llike Selwyn and Fitzwilliam House eventually assumed full collegiate status. We also learn xxxix 1884 (founded), Ayerst Hostel. Closed for lack of funds Premises occupied by St. Edmund s House 1896 We have also learned that St. Edmund s House is now St. Edmund s College, Cambridge xl and we believe this is a photo of the College, which was once Ayerst Hostel. Going back to his service record above, it is clear that he never spent more than a few years in any parish and this has made it difficult to get any additional information on this service to the Church of England Census Living at home in Coity with family (previously reported) 1881 Census Looks to be at Normal Training College, Cheltenham, Gloucester xli Edgar Hutchinton, student, Un, 19, scholar, S.

Nothing more is known about her. Also, a Mary Hutchinson is listed we surmise that she is a daughter though no age is given. If so, her baptism was not found in the church records though she is listed in the 1851 census and is 10. Additionally, the 1861 census indicates a daughter Sarah Ann born c Research on Google shows that Cwrt-Y-Mwnws was the name of a farm in Maesteg that appears to have become a coal business. Though there appears to still be a farm by that name in Maesteg! ( In 1800, a successful coal level was operating in Cwm Nanty-Gwiail, near Crown road. Then in 1825 Maesteg Iron Works Company was founded which acquired the mineral rights on Cwrt-y-Mwnws farm. In 1829 the first blast furnace began to make iron and a horse drawn tramway was completed linking the works with Porthcawl. Coal and ironstone were mined from the hillsides above the works and a series of levels developed, each given a number. Started: , Updated: Page 17 of 26

From 1880 lv we learn, MAESTEG, with the hamlet of Cwmdu, is a thriving village in the parish of Llangynwyd, 9 miles (8 by rail) from Bridgend (its post town), sitauted on the river Llynvi, and in a neighbourhood abounding with mineral wealth. Here are situated theextensive works belonging to the Llynvi, Tondu and Ogmore Coal and Iron Company, who are also proprietors of between two and three thousand acres of coal and ironstone chiefly in this parish. The works consist of seven furnaces, four of which are blast, producing railway and merchant iron of every description. Cwmdu is governed by a Local Board of Health, established in The church at Maesteg in a chapel of ease, to the mother or parish church of Llangynwyd, and is a neat stone edifice, in the Gothic style of architecture. The services in it are conducted alternately in the Welsh and English languages. There are also several chapels for dissenters, and a National and other schools. A fair is held on May 3rd.

So, James is now 19 and not with the family. We have not been able to find him anywhere in Wales (or even England!). Neither Jane nor Elizabeth are found after We also learn that James came from Kendal Westmorland and that Ann came from Pontardulais. A prior blurb told us something about Maesteg. Here s a comparable blurb on Llangynwyd lvii since it is now mentioned in the 1851 Census entry. LLANGYNWYD is an extensive parish, and village, about 8 miles from Bridgend (its post town), situated on the river Llynvi, and rich in mineral wealth. About a mile south-west of the village are the ruins of an old castle. The trustees of the Gnoll estate, Neath, are lords of the manor, and with G. R. M. Talbot, Esq., M.P., and other gentlemen, are chief landowners. The parish church is an old edifice, with tower and six bells, and is in good preservation; it is situated in the centre of the village. Woollen is manufactured in the parish to a small extent. The living is a vicarage, with the curacies of Maesteg and Baidlan annexed, in the gift of J. D. Llewellyn, Esq. Near the church is a neat cemetery, two acres in extent. There are also chapels for Baptists, Independents, Wesleyans and Calvinistic Methodists. Acreage of parish, 2,524. Population in 1861, 4,815; in 1871, 8,944, which includes Cwmdu or Maesteg. Baidan is a chapelry in this parish. Here s a tidbit on Bowrington Street lviii since it became clear during our research that the street name appeared to disappear and, it had! The most important benefactor to the town was Dr. John Bowring ( ) who was well known nationally for his skills as a linguist and for his radical political views Today only John Street in Nantyffyllon (named after Bowring) and Charles Row in Maesteg (named after his brother) remain to recall his days in the district. The name Bowrington had given way to Maesteg by the 1870 s. Bowrington Street became Commercial Street and Upper Bowrington became part of Nantyffyllon lix ; Farmers Arms, Cwmdu Hamlet, Llangynwyd Hutchinson, James, HD, M, 70, Beerhousekeeper/Carrier, WES Windermere Hutchinson, Ann, WI, M, 50, GLA Pontardulais Hutchinson, Robert, So, U, 25, Carrier s son, GLA Llangynwyd Hutchinson, Sarah, Da, U, 23, Beerhousekeeper s Daur, GLA Llangynwyd Started: , Updated: Page 19 of 26

So, where is Maesteg (or Cwmdu) and Llangynwyd? It is NW of Bridgend.

21 Obviously, we ve already discussed the life of James (Jr.) and so Appendix E presents information on some of his siblings; those that we could easily track further. Other Records I have checked the Electoral Register 1845/46 lxii and the Polling Area of Bridgend, but unfortunately, there are no HUTCHINSON names listed at all. The entire Register is indexed and there are no Hutchinson names listed throughout. The only nearest surname is Hutchins, but no James. Ann Jones (2 nd wife of James (Sr.) and mother of James (Jr.)) So, what do we know about Ann? She is buried at St. Cynwyd, Llangynwyd and she died February 8, 1879, aged 68 years -- meaning that she was born c This compilation of Census data will help identify where and approxim ately when she was born: Started: , Updated: Page 21 of 26

The 1883 map on the previous page shows Pont-ar-dulais lxiii (also spelled Pontardulais and Pontarddulais). The church was actually located on the left hand bit that juts out at the time it was in the middle of nowhere! It is no longer there. A later church build has been reconstructed at the Museum of Welsh Life, St. Fagan s, Cardiff lxiv. (this plan comes from this web-site) The Parish church of Pontardulais was St. Teilo s, Llandeilo Tal-y-bont. (Drawing above lxv ) Mary Parish registers for Llandeilo Tal-y-bont lxvi, that might be appropriate are 1812 Anne Jones, father- Daniel Jones, mother -- Anne Anne Jones, father- John Jones, mother We know that John JONES of Llangyfellach married to Mary WILLIAM of this parish married at Llandeilo Talybont, 4 October 1808 lxvii. We may never know the story of Ann and her family though since there is nothing to prove or disprove the information found! Unfortunately, she has such a common name and a name popular in Pontardulais! We can tell you a bit more about Ann upon the death of her husband James. Since she outlived him for several years, we were able to trace her both in Directories and in the 1871 census. 1868, Maesteg (South Wales) lxviii Retailers of Beer Hutchinson Ann, Maesteg.

Since she seemed to continue as a beer retailer, one wonders if she remained with the Farmers Arms or had a different enterprise? Started: , Updated: Page 23 of 26

Over the ensuing centuries the building was altered and extended. The oldest parts of the present structure, the nave and chancel, are believed to have been built during the 13/14th century though their present form is more likely to be early 15th century in date. During the late 14th century, two small transepts, or chapels, were added to the north and south of the chancel to create a cruciform church. Two arches were formed to link both transepts to the chancel. The north chapel was known as the Gronow Chapel, presumably in recognition of its benefactor. During the late 15th century the church's capacity was increased by the addition of an aisle to the south side of the nave. The old south wall was replaced by two arches, with a third arch opening into the chancel. In order to improve the congregation's view of the altar from the south aisle, a squint opening was formed through one of the side walls of the chancel arch. Finally, a porch was added to the entrance door leading into the south aisle of the church. lxv The Church of St. Teilo, Llandeilo Tal-y-bont.
