Hi

My husband's grt grandmother was a GUTCHER. Ellen Grey GUTCHER (1863-1948). Her father was Thomas GUTCHER (b. 1820 in Gunnerhill, South Ronaldsay, Orkney, d. 1864 in Victoria, Australia). Ellen was the youngest of his 5 children; all were born here in Australia.

Thomas' wife Jane MOWAT (1825-1878) was also from South Ronaldsay, although they emigrated at different times, they married in Victoria, Australia in 1855. Thomas was the son of Thomas GUTCHER & Helen GRAY.

Look foward to hearing from you again!

Cheers
Cherilyn

Hi Judy

Here is what I have. I found out after starting that this is not 'my line' as far as I can tell. Have not been able to connect to my husband's direct ancestor Thomas GUTCHER 1773-1847 (of S. Ronaldsay, Gunnerhill/Brough).

But hopefully it is of some help.

GENERATION I

John GUTCHER, born circa 1720 at Linklater, South Ronaldsay, OKI. Married Katherine SINCLAIR 14 July 1752? They had a son:

GENERATION II

John GUTCHER, christened the 16 July 1752, at Sandwick, South Ronaldsay, OKI. He married Catharine MANSON c1782, born 12 Dec 1754 in South Ronaldsay, OKI (daughter of John MANSON).

They had 6 children :

1. John GUTCHER, born 16 December 1783, at Sandwick, South Ronaldsay, OKI, died 2 Dec 1833, Sandwick, South Ronaldsay, OKI, aged 50. He married Isabel[la] SYMISON the 3 March 1814 at Sandwick, South Ronaldsay, OKI (born 6 June 1789, died 18 Sep 1875 in South Cara, OKI, daughter of John 'SIMISON' and Catherine ROSIE).

2. Katharine/Catharine GUTCHER, christened the 8 April 1786 in South Ronaldsay, OKI. Died in Stoose aged 72, single, in 1864.

3. James GUTCHER, christened the 23 June 1789 in South Ronaldsay, OKI.

4. Jean/Jane GUTCHER, christened the 11 March 1792 in Sandwick, South Ronaldsay, OKI, died 20 October 1867, Thurrigair aged 78. She married James BUDGE the 13 March 1816. James was chr. 19 January 1786, South Parish, son of James BUDGE & Janet DUNCAN and died 27 Nov 1869, Thurrigair age 83; occupation at death: ferryman.

5. May/Mary GUTCHER, born 1792 in South Ronaldsay, OKI, died 31 October 1871 aged 79, Thurrigar [did not marry].

6. Margaret GUTCHER, born 30 June 1796 in Sandwick, South Ronaldsay, OKI.

A lot of additional information is on the brilliant site www.southronaldsay.net

This is John, Isabel and chn in the 1821 census, at Gaira, Sth Parish:
John (31) Isabel (27) Cath (5) Isabella (4) John (2) Margaret (1), also John CUMMING (14).

Also in 1821, the Budge family at Easterbiggings, Sth Parish:
James (35), Jean (32), George (4), James (3), Thos (1)

If you go to Lisa's additional notes in the census page you will find notes on the children above (christening, marriage, death, occupation etc).

Enjoy!

Cheers
Cherilyn
