Another alternative spelling may be SCUTT. I have relliesof that name around Broomfleet. Also found around Whitgift. Family has Dutch origins.

I have done some research on the SHOUT family who came from Weston, near Otley in the West Riding in the 18th century.

I have searched for Maria's baptism and for SHUTT in the West Riding, I can only find SHUTT around the Harrogate and Bradford areas. Maria was buried 17 Oct 1732 at St Mary's, Elland, I have found three children for her & Thomas - Sarah chr 30 Jan 1728/1729, Johannes 5 Jul 1730 and Elizabeth 30 Aug 1732 all in St Mary's, Elland. Thomas was buried 6 Nov 1754 at St Mary's, Elland. On the burial records there are no ages mentioned so I have no idea when Maria was baptised, Thomas's 1st marriage was to Martha BROOK 17 Jun 1724, they had two children both baptised at St Peter's, Huddersfield, Martha was buried 23 Dec 1727, so, Thomas would have had five children to look after after Maria died, I have not found another marriage for him. Is it possible that Maria came from either Bradford or Harragate areas, there are many SHUTTS listed for these. Hoping someone can advise, maybe I have missed something along the way, happy hunting, Annette WATSON Lismore Australia ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
