Hi Reg Thanks for the website addy ........ will check it out :) Angie

The 1820 chap is on the IGI............go to www.familysearch.org Reg

Irene Regarding the medal cards ........ is there a website ? could you give me the details please How were you able to find out the names of Florence;s parents and the details of the marriage of Val-a-ntine Hutchinson in 1820? ..... would you happen to know the details of his bride ? Angie

Brenda The death registration 20846/1941 is Valentine who married Florence ... Death registration 33902/1970 is Valentine's wife - Rose Ellen - so her parents then were Daniel and Ann. Birth registration 12043/1902 is Valentine L Hutchinson - son of Valentine and Rose. Can now arrange to get those certificates - thank you so much :)) I'd love to find out how Valentine got to Australia ...... would he have had to apply for a passport in England to enable him to travel to Australia? ............... would the passport office give out any information ?? Angie

Rose Valentine's father is shown as Valentine Hutchinson, Officer RN

There is no listing on the GRO for a birth in AMJ 1875........... His father wil be named on the marriage cert.........assuming he knew his father's name and occupation, of course. Reg

There is a Valentine Hutchinson on the medal cards that states he was a Captain in the Army medical corp. 1914 -1920 youcan download the cards for £3.50(I think). Florence Hodkinson Moulsdale born Birkenhead 1874, she may have had a double wedding with her brother Percy born 1870, both on the same entry. Parents John & Margaret Moulsdale. Also A Val-a-ntine Hutchinson married at Beckenham Kent 1820, may have been grandfather of your Valentine. Good luck Irene

Who was his father? Do you have that on the 1898 cert? Rose

According to his enlistment application for a commission in the Australian Army on 17/09/1914, Valentine Hutchinson was born on 10/05/1875 in New Brompton, Kent he was then 39yrs and 4months old] Valentine also stated that he had previous military experience in that he had served 5yrs with the Madras V Guards in B India. He was a British Subject, married to Mrs Rose E Hutchinson. However ...................... I have a marriage certificate that shows he married Florence H Moulsdale in August 1898 at St Judes, Edge Hill, Liverpool ! The 1901 census shows Florence at her parents home - no sign of Valentine. There is also a marriage certificate dated 14/05/1901 for Valentine Hutchinson [bachelor ! aged 28] and Rose Ellen Foley [aged23] in Victoria, Australia. Valentine and Rose had 2 children born in 1902 and 1906. His war records show a change of address for his n-o-k to 30 Burgesswell Road, Chelmsford Essex in 1917. [not Rose cos she was still in Australia]. The war records also show correspondence from a lady in Scotland and one in Paris asking for the whereabouts of the elusive Valentine. In 1930 Valentine met a lady called Dorothy in Sydney, Australia - set up home with her and had 2 more children, the youngest, John, only found out 10 yrs that his parents werent married !! Sorry it's so long-winded ........... our problem is ......... we can't find any record of Valentine. Has anyone got any ideas please ?????????? Angie
