I started with Ann Cutsworth born 1785 Wrawby. I have her children (Elizabeth/Betsy Cutsforth Knapton is the direct line in the tree I'm researching.) I can list them if needed, but saving time and amount of reading for others by not. Husband is William Knapton baptised 1787 Sheffield to Benjamin and Ann (didn't find their marriage).
Parents were Robert Cutsforth and Elizabeth Carline who were married in 1782 Wrawby. Haven't managed to find their marriage and therefore, Ann's maiden name.
I've found Elizabeth's baptism to William Carline and Elizabeth in 1757 Wrawby.
I can't find Robert Cutsforth s baptism. I know he was buried in. Wrawby in 1816 and his birth is given as c1753.
Can anyone find him? He does baptise two of his children: Jane 1797 and Thomas 1800 at the independent chapel at Wrawby Street, Brigg. Maybe he wasn't baptised in established church either?
On ancestry, there was an entry, which I now can't find 🤦, which says that he was born in Melton Ross. I can't find any records for that. However, I did find a Robert Cutsforth/Cutsferth/Cutsworth (I've put all of these, as the name seems to be spelled these ways across the generations given here) having children with an Elizabeth in Lincoln. I discounted it at first as it seems too far away, but then I found Milcah Cutsforth's baptism in Lincoln in 1847 and burial in Melton Ross. (unusual name and no other Milcah Cutsforth's found.) They have other children: Anne1744, Elizabeth 1746, Thomas 1755 (who seems to be buried 1824 Melton Ross) all born in Lincoln and William born in 1748 Melton Ross. A Robert Cutsforth marries an Elizabeth Coulson in 1743 in Wrawby.
I have a good feeling that this might be Robert 1753's family, but can't find anything to prove this, without a baptism for him?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
