This is my first attempt at contacting people who may be related to me. I want to find out as much information about the people I am related to that are willing to share the knowledge they have.

To find as much information about my father's family and his father's family (my grandfather and great grandfather on the Rutter side of the family) as is possible and build a photographic record to publish to as many family members whom would want a copy. I have pictures of my grandfather on my mother's side and some are included in my own web site (www.rutter-family.freeserve.co.uk)

I want to find out as much information about our Family tree as possible.

This site is to hopefully allow other members of the family to fill in missing people and allow us to make contact to as many of the related members of our family as possible.

To inform and educate family members to our family history and hopefully bring the family together.

To contact my Uncle Frank and Aunt Jane's Children (the brother and sister of my father Matt Rutter)

To contact the descendants of my grandfathers bothers

Contact friends from Primary school

Information on Matt Rutter (site designer)
Time served Patternmaker and Incorporated Engineer. I have worked in the UK Foundry Industry for my entire adult career. I find this interesting as my father's stepfather was involved in the foundry industry as a moulder. I also understand that a brother of my fathers' father worked at "Metrovicks" (GEC. Trafford Park) involved with the metallurgical department
I was Born in 1954 in South Hulme Manchester (England) at the family home 46 Canter Street.
We moved when 4 years old to 6 Granville Avenue Whalley Range until the age of 21 when I married Margaret Foulkes. We have been happily since November 1975 with 2 teenage daughters.

I have included as much information about my father as I can remember as well as general background details
One of three children to Matthew Rutter and Ann Wainwright he grew up in the Collyhurst area of Manchester and was christened at St. Malakies.
His first occupation was a barrow boy in the markets of Smithfield

He also volunteered to join the Chindits to fight in Burma.

Number: 3453408
Regiment: 1st Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers - 50th Column

My father said the unit was comprised of 1st Staffordshire; 1st Lancashire Fusiliers; 3rd & 6th Gurka Regiment: 1st Kings (Liverpool)
He fought for the regimental boxing team as "Bantam" or "fly" Weight whilst in India (sometimes called the mighty atom) and had a pet bull dog or bull mastiff.

The Chindits were the brainchild of General A Wavell and Ord Wingate. Wavell then C in c in India sent for Wingate in 1943 with the task of organising guerrilla activity against the Japanese forces in Burma. The name 'Chindit' was a corruption of the Burmese word for winged stone lion - the guardians of the Buddhist temples.

  I often think you can tell family resemblance form the youngest pictures you can find of relatives
• Me at 18 Months old (47 KB)
  This picture was taken at a studio in Manchester. My sister (Betty Tomlinson) had bought the sailor suit and had taken me for my first photograph, which she paid for with her own money. As she was only 15 at the time with very little money this must have been quite a personal sacrifice.
