Greetings All I have recently discovered an army deserter in the family and I was hoping someone could enlighten me more re same. I have a 4x ggf John Hutts, basket maker, born c1789 in Warwickshire but living in Liverpool. He seemed to have a tribe of kids from at least 3 different women and I suspect it's his son who's the deserter. John Hutt - Corps 3rd Foot - Age 20 - Origin Liverpool, Lancaster, ENG, basket maker, 20 Feb 1839. Can anyone advise what would have happened to deserters (I know it aint pretty..lol) and if there's be more details re this young John Hutt? regards Lee Deutrom, nee Perry Melbourne Australia
