Nicholas William Rutter

Nicholas William Rutter was born in Mevagissey in Cornwall in 1839. He was baptised in 1849.

Nicholas’s parents left Cornwall soon after 1849 after getting Nicholas baptised. Nicholas wated to follow his father to sea.

Susan (Rutter) & William Henry Jago in Liverpool

Susan and husband William Henry are living with her father John and step mother Ann in Liverpool in about 1852. They are shown in the 1861 census living in 6 Lower Harrington street.

William and Susan’s family and some of their spouses.

William and Susan have a huge family.

Susan Routter marries William Henry Jago in Nov 1849 in Mevagissey. Susan’s father and step mother are now living in Liverpool. They also left for Liverpool in about 1852. Their first child dies in Liverpool and they have another who on the 1861 census is shown as born in Liverpool in 1853.

Rowters go to Liverpool

By 1850 the Rowters has emigrated to Liverpool and were living in Shaws Alley as shown by the 1851 census. John’s other daughter Susan and her husband are still living in Mevagissey at this time. Nicholas was christened in Cornwall in 1849 so they must have left after this.

Note name is now Routter, we have John, Ann and Nicholas William living in Shaws Alley. John is born in St Austell not Mevagissey.

I often wonder what drove them to Liverpool, John and Ann were nearing 50 years old, perhaps it was because all their other children had died, perhaps they wanted to give Nicholas a chance of a better future. There was cholera in Mevagissy and the Bank had recently failed. By 1861 the rest of the family had joined them in Liverpool and were living in Lower Harrington Street.

Celebrity Connection

The Rowter family were now living in Liverpool about 1850, Susan (Rowter) Jago lived and died in one of the infamous Liverpool courts.
