william hutchinson, gentlemam. of ryton buried hetton le hole. DIED 1806 houghton le spring ?? family involved in mine owners. interest only from personal family tree.

Hi Shiela. I have been tracing my family history for 30 years. My great great uncle was William Hutchinson, the Chief Engineer of the Rocket and later business partner of George Stephenson. The Hutchinson family have had a big impact in engineering worldwide, including the Minister of Mines in Chile under Pinochet! I believe that the William Hutchinson, gentleman of Ryton, buried in Hetton le Hole in 1806 was his grandfather. I am very happy to share information. Best. Paul Fitton, Orpington

trying to trace family tree of Hutchinson side. all lived around Langley Moor County Durham. My father was a Thomas William Hutchinson, His father George Arthur HUTCHINSON, DOB 17/122/1880, His father Joseph Hutchinson born around 1855. all were miners at Bear Park, Brandon or Langley Colliery. A William Hutchinson died in a mining accident in February 1918 Not sure if any of this ties up. My grandmother's maiden name was Brown and they were all local to Croft, Middle Tyas area. Hutchinson seems a fairly common Borders name and there is a Hutchinson Tartan. Any information gratefully received
