George William Topping Hutchinson Records

1923 and the Speareys have gone. No 14 is now shared with the Tidiman family

Spring 1921 and the first appearance of George William Hutchinson junior – the eldest son who was born in November 1898. He could have been on the register in 1920 as it was open to male residents over 21.
The Spearey family is still there.

The entry for 14 Tuscan Street did not change until 1918 by which time women were given the vote so his wife Florence Beatrice also appears.
The Hutchinson’s shared no 14 with the Spearey family. Clearly they were not that well off. In the Booth poverty map it is light blue – which means poor.

I am piecing together records relating to Toppy to see how plausible it is that he could have been a groom-come-labourer in the Victoria Home in 1888.
Here is his first entry at Tuscan Street in the 1910-11 Electoral Register. I haven't been able to find him at any other address in the electoral register so far which suggests he moved about quite a lot.
