Rutter(s) in Iver

[colin rutter]

I am trying to find roots of some Rutters born in Iver.

James (b. Iver 1818) married Sarah Messam (of Baslidon, Berks) in 1837, at Fulmer, Bucks (1871 census, IGI). They had children James (b. 1839 Iver), George (b. 1840 Iver), Charles (b.1845 Iver) and Alfred and Sarah Ann (b.1853, 1855, both in Hayes).

At 1871 the older James Rutter operated the Railway Arms pub at Botwell, Hayes. The younger James Rutter went on to operate the North Pole pub in Kensington aroung 1880. George Rutter multiplied and went to Glamorgan. Charles Rutter, who was my great grandfather died in Uxbridge in 1871, and the ten children of his only child, my grandfather Charles Edwin Rutter (b.1870 Notting Hill), are now all dead.

I have no idea how to find the father of the James Rutter born 1818 in Iver. I've looked through Rutters in the 1851 Buckinghamshire census but I can't find any real clues, nor in on-line parish registers. Any ideas??

Some years ago, someone associated with the Buckinghamshire Family History Society was looking for Rutters from Iver, but I don't know who it was.

Best regards, and thanks for reading this.

Follow up: I ordered the Iver Bishops' transcripts from the local Family History Centre of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) on microfilm, and looked through it. I found my James Rutter, born at Love Green in Iver in 1817, and his parents, etc. etc.
Is there anyone else out there who traces their lineage from Love Green?
Best regards, Colin

The only reason I'm getting in touch with you is that I went to school with a Rutter, but in those days we only called boys by their surname, so I cannot tell you his Christian name. This was in the 60's at Townmead school now defunct, but the catchment area included parts of Bucks so your Rutter family was probably part of this chap's family.All I can recall of the chap was that he seemed a bit fat, not many of us were fat then, we all walked to school or rode bikes it was a long way for many of us. Anyway so long. Margaret East.

George Rutter was my great great grandfather. He went to Wales during the time when the Welsh coalfieds were being developed and he was involved with the construction buisness, mainly in Barry, Glamorgan. Barry grew rapidly from about 1880 to 1910 as a port to export coal, because the area needed greater capacity. When George died he was buried in Hayes; some years ago when I was working in the area I went to the churchyard in Hayes and saw the gravestone. More recently I took my son there and couldn't find it, but I did see the grave of Charles Rutter who I assumed to be a relative. Strange that they originated in Iver, one of my grandmother's best friends lived there even though she herself lived her entlamorgan.
