Brummie On Exmoor
master brummie
I am tracing one of my 3xGreat Grandmothers, Elizabeth Hutchinson, who was married to Thomas Hutchinson a general or agricultural labourer, and who was born in Birmingham in 1784-85. They lived in 1 Court, 2 Brass Street off Summer Lane in 1851. I have not yet been able to locate them in 1841.
Thomas died, aged in his mid 80s, in April 1852. I now think I have found Elizabeth's death, on 24 Oct 1860, at the Glover's Trust, Steelhouse Lane. I have found plenty of references to the Trust, and it is clear that Elizabeth would be just the sort of person for the almshouses to take in. The death certificate does state that she was the widow of a Thomas Hutchinson, and the age looks right, so I am reasonably happy that the death certificate is for my ancestor.
However, I wonder if any records for the Trust survive, which might give me a little more info. I don't know Elizabeth's maiden name, and am keen to try and get back further. :stare: DOES anyone out there know if there are archives for the Trust and where they may be housed please? :stare:
