I have proven my Cutts line back to John Cutts, b.c.1777/9 Arnold married 24.Feb..1801 St. Mary's, Nottingham, to Ann Bennell born c.1779 Findern. Both John and Ann were buried in Bilborough in 1855. I am having difficulty in finding John's baptism or proving his parentage. For this reason I have taken nearly all the census entries from Notts. 1841onwards in order to make family groups and see if I can find the movement of the families. There are many Cutts family groups in the N. Notts area which lead back to Mansfield and then over the Derbyshire border towards N. Wingfield. I am currently looking at Wills and Land documents to see if I can find where the Cutts may have been living in the Arnold area in 1777/9. I have also discovered that some of the Cutts were on the canals and am now concentrating on trying to trace these family groups. I have evidence that some of them moved into Manchester, and my new area of research is to find the ones who were living in the Chilwell/SandiacreLong Eaton/Attenborough areas near the junction of the Waterways at Sawley. I am willing to exchange information with anyone who has a reference to a Cutts in this area in the hope that we can extend our knowledge of Cutts families. The evidence gained from birth,marriage and death certificates is invaluable in confirming/disproving assumptions made from GRO refs/parish registers,etc. >From John Cutts and Ann Bennell my direct line is as follows: John Cutts b.20.11.1801 Radford m. 3.6.1827 Radford to Mary Butler.
