Jill & Geoffrey: I have the same George Cutmore (Jill I think we've shared info before, your Henry being brother with my Frederick) born in 1821 in Hunsdon to Thomas and Hannah. I was in the Hertfordshire archives last year and searched and searched for him and this seemed to be the best fit. I have some notes that I made on Cutmore's in Thundridge/Wadesmill (there are a lot of them!) and I'll look for them this weekend. Thomas and Hannah were married Nov. 5, 1818 in Widford, Herts.

He was born either 1815, 1821 or 1832 in Thundridge, Hertfordshire. I know he married Margaret PALLETT in 1855, on the marriage certificate it lists George's father as John PALLETT. No mother mentioned. On the Census:- 1861 age 41 1871 age 50 1881 age 59 1891 age 72 He did not seem to know his correct age, understandable in those days if you could not read or write. Regardless of the above, I do have a problem in identifying his parents, particularly his mother who was either Ann or Lidia. Any suggestions from any one to help me solve this problem. I have him as being born at Hunsdon in 1821, son of Thomas CUTMORE and Hannah BROWN. Moreover, I have you as my cousin - through the PALLETTs!!!
