   Hi All,   
      
   I have, over the last 48 hours, been tracing a Liverpool ancestry that may   
   have just placed me in Ostend - and I'm very much out of my depth here.   
      
   I have been using purely free online sources, and I'm not asking people to go   
   beyond that (but, hey, you may if you wish!).   
      
   I have an irrefutable line to Richard Lloyd, a dentist (quite well-known in   
   dental history) and his wife Isabella Hutton. They were married in   
   Walton-on-the-Hill in modern day Liverpool in 1846, where her father is named   
   as John Robert Hutton (he also    
   has a son of that name, Isabella's brother).    
      
   All of the BMD events in this clan are basically Liverpool.   
      
   John Robert Hutton was married to Sarah Brogden. Their oldest recorded child,   
   Sarah, was born 03-01-1816.   
      
   He is variously described in the marriages of his children and elsewhere as   
   gentleman, commercial traveller, and traveller. His relations in the next   
   generation are generally prosperous middle-class.   
      
   There is a John Robert Hutton in the 1851 Census who has recently married and   
   is described as a commercial traveller and brewer. He has what looks like a   
   new wife and son. There was a Sarah Hutton who died aged 58 in 1845, and a   
   John Robert Hutton who    
   married Ann Butters in 1850.

   As you will notice, however, this John Robert Hunter (whom I'm assuming is the   
   same man) is described as born in Ostend. Can anyone help in pointing me to   
   how I can research this, or even do the research for me?! I'm not optimistic   
   about what I've found    
   on records in this era and area.   
      
   Thank you,   
   Chris
