The Family of Henry Cutter (1755 – 1828)

Family Chart

I am grateful to Hedley Martin for some of the information on this page.

Henry was baptised 25 May 1755 at Little Abington, a son of Ishmael Cutter and Ann formerly Andrews.

Henry's first wife was Mary Onion and the marriage was 20 March 1774 at Linton. Henry was a bachelor of Little Abington and Mary was a spinster of Linton. The witnesses were William Wright and Francis Saggers.

Mary was buried 25 November 1794 at Chrishall.

Henry married secondly Sarah Seale 20 June 1795 at Little Abington. Sarah Seale was a widow of the parish of Chrishall. That Sarah was a widow of Chrishall lends support to the likelihood that Henry was at Chrishall at some point, which makes it more probable that the Ishmael (son of Henry and Mary) baptised at Chrishall in 1791 is a descendent.

Henry Cutter died on Friday 22 August 1828 at Little Abington.  He was in his 80th year (Huntingdon, Bedford and Peterborough Gazette, Saturday 30 August 1828).  He was buried at Little Abington on 24 August 1828.
