Keith, Fab protraits - have you found out which ?Edward /cutbush the first portrait was? And the other two... Must tell you that my sons mouth is not unlike the mouth of the second protrait, only less pronounced. /do these hang in your home?
And thank you, I would love it if you would send me a GED file of the Cutbush tree that you have. I will compare it with what I have and we can go from there - is that o.k?

Debs, I have come across Horatio and Richard Cutbush on another site - you'd remember with a name like Horatio. No, no connexion made yet, but looking.
Must give Jane Ann a wake up call... Did ask her to sus out some Meek info for me, but have not heard from her.
Do like your signature,
Glor

Fascinating paintings, Keith.
I wish I could supply a portrait of Thomas Taylor Cutbush, but there's a problem : the artist had him sit for a picture, but after only a couple of minutes he looked up to find that TTC was on a ship bound for New Zealand. So it's rather a minimalist picture.

Welcome Keith, fascinating things you post here.
Any info or pics on the Trapp connection would be most welcome.

By popular demand, here are the other two portraits, both of whom we assume to be Cutbushs or possibly Grippers. The young man was painted by Pieter van Huffell, who was Director of the Ghent Academy in 1846. I hope to develop more information soon. Hope you all enjoy these offerings.
I will send each picture separately due to size consraints

Thanks for that Gloria.
I met my mother's cousin from South Africa, Kathleen Cutbush in the 1950's but I was barely 8 years old, so I know little of her, but will try to discover a bit more. I would love to have anything you can provide but have no fax; but I will get you a fax number to use and let you know. . That would be wonderful. I can send you a GED file of the Cutbush tree I have, if you would like that.
Thanks again.

Hi Glor,
Could be, she was related to the Horatio and Richard Cutbush newspaper family in Maidstone. I've not come across a direct connection to the Cutbushes of London, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Do you know if they are related?
I hope Keith will post pics of the other two paintings too.
No, I've not heard from Jane-Anne for a long time, I was leaving you two to swap all your family information in peace!

Cutbush Photographs
Originally posted by Debra A View PostGreat portrait Keith, ages ago I came across a photograph of a lady named Mabel Cutbush, daughter of the Maidstone newspaper Cutbush family....I haven't got it to hand to compare at the moment but I was looking at it quite recently, Edward's features do seem similar to hers as far as I can remember... odd, as I don't think they were even related though!
The photo you came across of Mabel Cutbush could well be a relative as there were Cutbush Clockmakers in Maidstone, Kent and who knows, they might have been into Newspapers too.
Wasn't the picture put up by Keith great? Wonder what the other two that he has not put up yet look like? Can't wait to see them.
I am busy ploughing through the Armstrong family to whom I have a connection.
Have you heard from Jane-Anne recently?
Best regards
Glor

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your PM. Did you know that John Joseph and Clarissa went to South Africa? Its been very difficult to get any information about the family in S.A. My Grandmother was Margaret CUTBUSH Meek, and she was born in South Africa. Her father was Rowland Scudamore Meek.
Keith, do you have a Fax Number that I can send you some of the family tree? Its going to take me a while to amass it all, as I'm a real dodo on the computer, but you will get what I have.
I have just checked my kinship with Thomas Hoskins Cutbush and find I am his 4th great grand daughter.
Hope to hear from you,
Gloria

Robert, you know when they shut the library for alterations, and it was never quite the same again when it reopened? Well she was in one of the now missing sections. She was involved with the red cross during WW1, some sort of matron I think. I thought I'd saved the picture but I can't find it, it may turn up somewhere, my files aren't very organised!
No roses round the door? Cute house though.

It doesn't seem Googleable, Debs, but I did find one or two things. Keith has probably seen this, but for anyone else who's interested :
Also, here is the house of those irritatingly ubiquitous rose-sniffers :
