Thank you, Mike - gosh, that was quick! ;-) Yes, it helps me a great deal, as it confirms Joseph's age and Mary's place of birth - I am very grateful to you. It also confirms they had a daughter Emily who was probably the Emily CUTMORE bap 18 Jun 1837 at Much (Great) Hadham. If anyone has the 1841 census and can find Joseph and Mary CUTMORE with young Emily, this will almost certainly help to pinpoint a few more of their children. Or if some kind soul can help me differentiate between the offspring of Joseph CUTMORE and Mary BIRD, and those of Joseph CUTMORE and Mary CARTER....? All help gratefully received! Thanks again, Mike - you're a star!
