Tom I am also researching the Hutchins family, Bob & I share the same Hutchins ggfather. Are you by any chance connected with the Annie Hutchins who married Albert Sheppard in 1928. If so I would be interested to know which Annie this might be (I had noted it but waiting to confirm correct person), as there are three possible candidates. (a) Annie Hutchins born 1885 in Ecchinswell daughter of Alfred John & Eliza Plater. (b) Annie Hutchins born 7 November 1899 in Ashford Hill & daughter of Francis John & Edith Hiscock. (c) Nethy born 1891 in Haughurst Hill & daughter of James & Jane Banbury. Although recorded as Nethy at birth in 1911 census she was listed as Annie. If the above marriage is not connected to you apologises. Gerald Soper In a message dated 28/01/2010 22:36:49 GMT Standard Time, ssatds@sbcglobal.net writes: Bob, My mothers maiden name was HUTCHINS. My grandparents lived in Kingsclere, they lived in the bungalow in Union Lane opposite the Workhouse. All have gone now and there is a roundabout there. By grandparents are buried in the cemetery on the Ecchinswell Rd. My parents are buried in Ecchinswell. This may or may not be of value to you. Tom Sheppard
