About James Hutchons

Listed as a 25 yo Burgher living in Potchefstroom in 1883, working as a "karwyer" - had lived in the area for 17 years. i.e. since 1866
But PoB given as Potch in +/- 1858, so perhaps family moved away and then back again?

1885/6, Potch residents lists - occupation "kassemayer", then apparently a canteen owner?

He is recorded in a list of Potch residents in 1890 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSKG-VQJD-L?i=207&... for the first time that I can see, his brother William is not on the list after his name
