Dorothy Hutton 1732 - 1797
Dorothy Hutton , Miscellanea" in the 3rd series Vol vi No 9 1913 of the Proceedings at page 107-8, and was entitled "Notices of a house in St. Michael's Lane, Alnwick". The relevant part reads " On 28 June 1890, the late Mr. Robert Middlemas of Alnwick, solicitor, communicated to me some particulars obtained from muniments of title of a house in St Martin's Lane, Alnwick. The house, known as the Willows, was so named by the then proprietor from a walk called the Willow Walk which formerly went past the house - J.C. Hodgson. "This house formerly belonged to Dorothy Popham, of Hound Street in the County of Somerset, widow, relict and devisee in fee of the real estate named in the last Will & Testament of Frances Popham of Hound Street aforesaid. Mrs. Popham before her marriage was Dorothy Wallis, widow of Thomas Wallis of Lincoln's Inn Esqre., which said Thomas Wallis was the only son and heir of Catherine Wallis who was the only daughter of Henry Collingwood, late of Great Ryle in Northumberland, Esqre., and niece of George Collingwood, formerly called Governor Collingwood, formerly of Great Ryle aforesaid."" The remainder of the piece deals with the history of the house after its purchase on 30 Nov 1786, by an Alnwick merchant named Ralph Annett. The details have no further relevance to the Collingwood or Wallis families. The Proceedings item can be taken as virtually definitive confirmation of the linkage between Collingwoods of Great Ryle and Wallises of Lincolnshire. I say "virtually" since, although Hodgson accepted the solicitor's statement, and the NCH compilers used it as evidence when preparing the Great Ryle pedigree, and though the solicitor clearly must have written from professionally acquired knowledge of the facts, the events he describes nevertheless dated from nearly a century before. The report, though authoritative, must therefore have some slight tinge of the anecdotal. It reveals the marriage of Thomas s/o Newcomen Wallis to a Dorothy ? which we may be able to check out, as we may Dorothy's second marriage to Frances Popham. The text reads as though the house at Alnwick was part of Frances Popham's estate, but this is not certain - it could have been a Collingwood property which came to Thomas via his mother. Popham's will may be findable, probably a PCC one. There is a published index of these, a copy of which is in the Soc Gen Library, or the Guildhall Library if that is closer to you - and it won't cost you anything to go in there. Unfortunately, the report gives no date, but it must have been before 30 Nov 1786, when Annett bought it, and after 13 Apr 1761, [John Sanders] Fascinating digging...
