Hello Sarah, Yes we did correspond a year or so ago, if I remember correctly you were in the middle of important exams:) I thought I had the right one until a lass pointed out the Lydia marriage to John. And as John is on the marriage cert if George I agreed I may be wrong, and went off on another line. Did you fine any George John or John George while you were at the Archives? I am now getting even more confused, why oh why did George have a very popular name :) Jill I am now completely confused as to who George's parents are. You have me wondering now if George's parents maybe were not Thomas and Hannah Cutmore... They fit well as his parents and I have seen other people get their father's name wrong on their marriage certificate, especially if he died when the person was still a child. I'm including all the notes I took while in the archives. In 1841, the first 4 people I have listed in Wadesmill were all living either right next to one another or just a few houses away. I believe that the George shown there is ours given that his future in-law and future marriage certificate witness are right next to him! There certainly were a lot of Cutmore's and a lot with the same name... Thomas, Sarah, etc. Do you have any more info on the John and Lydia Cutmore you have found? Thanks, Sarah
