Hi Denise and Bron, I missed the original inquiry. A HUTCHISON is mentioned several times in the Albury papers - he worked with my gggrandfather Dr KEATINGE in Albury in the 1860s e.g. "Albury Banner" 7 April 1868 Albury Hospital Report for October ... Visting Medical Officers Drs HUTCHISON and KEATINGE. Dr HUTCHISON will examine applications for admission during the month of November. .. On Saturday last an amputation at the thigh was performed on John MORGAN, who was admitted on this 18th ultimo, suffering from a severe incised wound opening into the knee joint. The operation was performed by Dr HUTCHISON, assiested by Drs KEATINGE and BARNETT, and the patient is now progressing favourably. I'll see if I can dig out any more references.
