Thank you so much for clearing that up Dundee!

Happy Holidays everybody!

Yes, thanks Dundee, I'm afraid my knowledge is stuck years back!  Updates like this seem to pass me by.  I used to subscribe to Family Tree Magazine but no longer.

Hey all!
I'm not sure how to post photos on here, but I just received the birth certificate for Ann Elizabeth Cuttle!
What a great New Year's present!

So, I guess I'll just post the details of the certificate.
Date: 4 Sept 1867
Place: Duke Street, Huddersfield, Yorkshire.
Name and Surname of Father: George Cuttle
Name and Maiden Surname of Mother: Fanny Lombardini
Rank or Profession of father: Wool Dyer.
Informant: Fanny Lombardini (Mother) of Duke Street.

My mysterious George Cuttle is the father!

Seeing as I have only a name and an occupation to go on, it would be awesome if I could get some help narrowing down my search for my ancestor and his origins!

Happy New Year everybody!

So exciting!

This George has Huddersfield connections and is a Dyer Pattern  so one contender I think

That one was born 31 Dec 1845 and baptised Chapel Allerton, parents Joshua and Jane of  Rastrick as
George Smith CUTTLE

I hope it is him because he has a trail to the USA

There is also George Cuttle b  c 1842/3 Holmfrith but I think less likely becaus in 1860 he joined the Royal Marines and has a career with them, so wouldn’t have Wool Dyer as occupation in 1867

George Smith CUTTLE the Dyer, was still a Dyer at death. April 2 1918. Philadelphia. Image of undertakers record is on FindMyPast

Wife Jennie NEILSON

1910 census says he went to USA in 1870, so that fits

In 1908 he and Jennie went to England on a trip, so that might be why there was some knowledge of him in family lore?

But..not to be confused writh the George S Cuttle of New Jersey, also a Dyer, but also later a farmer,  but of German origins. .  There’s is a German one, but our man does appear to have had a farm. An online tree has a very long note regarding it.

Wow that's awesome! Thanks so much for your help!
This would explain why my family knows little about him, as his daughter's family moved to Australia (where I am now).
And it also explains why I couldn't find him anywhere in England after the birth of his daughter.

Assuming that is him, better wait and see what the others think!
