Notes
William Hutt came to Winslow in 1866 when he took over Elizabeth Monk's grocery shop in the Church Houses. His widow Elizabeth carried on the business, and she later married Charles Wilford.
In 1861 William was a farmer at Ramsden, Shipton under Wychwood, Oxon. He was born at Bletchington. He married Elizabeth Selwood in 1858 in London. This was apparently after their eldest son was born.
