Hello All
I have two questions, firstly does anyone know how many times Thomas Cutbush was named in press reports as James Cutbush I am aware of The London Times article of 24 March 1891, but I wanted to see if there were any other instances. If this is the case, I do wonder whether Thomas was giving James as his name.
The second question is, in The Times (London)
15 June 1892 article there is mention of a Thomas Taylor Cutbush and I just wanted to find out what relation he was to Thomas Hayne.
Any help would be most welcome.
Regards

Hi Clarke
I'll try to answer all your questions on the one thread.
I'm afraid we do not have any examples of letters written by Thomas, nor do we have any photos of him. In fact, as far as I know we don't have a photo of a single nineteenth century English Cutbush!
I'm only aware of the one occasion when Thomas was called James. I've always imagined it was down to bad handwriting - if once the "Th" resembles a "J" then "omas" and "ames" look quite similar.
Thomas Taylor Cutbush was Thomas Hayne Cutbush's father. The "Hayne" part of Thomas's name derived from his mother's family - Thomas's mother's maiden name was Hayne.
Likewise, Thomas Taylor Cutbush, Tom's father, was given his mother's surname as a middle name. His mother was Ann Taylor.

Robert is quite right on all counts.
There is a photo of a formidable Cutbush from the 19th Century, but as he lived on the other side of the Atlantic, and was a doctor and a pyromaniac I don't think we need to see his strange and fearsome visage on this site.
I do believe that we will soon find a photo of Charles Henry Cutbush but I have my doubts about ever finding a likeness of poor old Tom.
After an exhaustive search of Lord Grimthorpe's family archives, I'm afraid I have the feeling that the letter written by Thomas was thrown away.
Hope not. |

Hello all
With regard to the photo of Thomas Cutbush,is it likely that photo's or mug shots of Broadmoor inmates of that period might exist somewhere ? I have tried searching the web for a site that might contain such items, but so far no luck.
Regards David
