John Hutton Bisdee
published by - 7 years 1 months 13 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.

Were you aware that the first Victoria Cross awarded to an Australian was to Trooper John Hutton Bisdee of the Tasmanian Imperial Bushmen. He rescued a wounded officer when their party was ambushed during the Boer War on 1 September 1900.

published by - 7 years 1 months 15 days ago. | | No, sorry, Davina. I'm researching the Chappell family of Winscombe, Sandford and area, but if anything else comes to light concerning the Bisdee family, I'll let you know.
As an aside, did you know there is a Bisdee Road in Hutton?
Every success with your researches.

HI Dennis, such an
published by - 7 years 1 months 19 days ago. | | | HI Dennis, such an interesting story, and is always great to make these people who we have never met a person rather than just a name and a date. 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?
