[jafrsc]

Hi Ann E, Mea Culpa (or not quite). You are right about the marriage between Fanny Oatley & William Henry Cutts but he did sign his name as Scutts! [Isle of Wight 2b 663 Scutts] / [COE14.1/86 Scutts] and their daughter was registered as Fanny Elizabeth Scutts [Isle of Wight 2b 560 Scutts]. Also on the Census 1871 she is mentioned as Elizabeth Scutts at Fulmer Place, Whippingham, Isle of Wight, Hampshire, as granddaughter of Elizabeth Oatley, age 3, birthplace West Cowes. They will be duly deleted from my Scutts database. This is not the first time that a Cutts is registered as a Scutts. Sarah Elizabeth Scutts b:1845 [Stepney 2 527 Scutts] is a Cutts and the jury is still out on Joseph Cutts/Scutts and Lucy Stoneham whom married circa 1845 at Malmesbury, Wiltshire. They are nearly always mentioned as Scutts on the censuses but their children are born as Cutts. Regards, Jimmy Scutt
