He was born Circa 1815 in North Shields, Northumberland and died 29 June 1887 in London, England. He was married to Mary Arkley and I would not have found her unless I had made the connection between my grand uncle Ernest Arkley Cuthbertson's middle name. My grandfather's name was David Peters Cuthbertson--the same as his grandfather's (a son of Edward and Mary) and thus another middle name that is a last name. Two other children of Edward and Mary Cuthbertson carried middle names that are last names--Cook and Cooper. The thing is, I cannot reach back in my Cuthbertson branch because I cannot find the connection of those names. I do not know the names of Edward Hedley Cuthbertson's parents--I have not found a birth date or baptismal certificate for him. I am wondering whether he perhaps was born in Scotland rather than Northumberland. I realize that there are many Cuthbertsons, Arkleys, and Hedleys in the Tynemout! h area and just over the Scottish border. If anyone can help me find more names of my family tree--Cuthbertsons--I would be grateful Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
