John Hutton Bisdee
published by - 7 years 12 days ago. | | | Hi Peter, yes I have found a lot of records on John Hutton Bisdee. I have him connected in my tree as my 2nd cousin 4 x removed. we share 5th x great grandfather John Bisdee (1741 or Wick St Lawrence) and Ann Kington 1743 Wiltshire) He is in the Australian Biography pages and was one of the first Bisdee's I came across in my searches. I think the Bisdee's in Western Australia were well aware of the Tasmanian cousins as my grandmothers brother who didn't survive infancy was named George John Hutton Bisdee and also my grandmothers cousin was also named John Hutton Bisdee.

Every success with your researches.

Are there any stories told of Alfreds nephew John Hutton? he is in the Australian biography and I guess he would be the most famous of the Bisdee's?
