You'll enjoy Fiji, Gloria.
I can't now remember the name of the Swann's first pub and hotel there, but it was where Thomas Taylor Cutbush stayed; and it is still there.
I was interested to find this 'Flood' working in the Criminal Investigation Department at Scotland Yard in 1894, with the likes of Melville, and I would have imagined that he was related to both Charles Henry Cutbush and Thomas Hayne Cutbush... and perhaps played a role in the newspaper story of that year.

' EDWARD FLOOD . I am a police sergeant in the Criminal Investigation Department—on May 31st last I went, with Inspectors Melville, Sweeney, and Walsh, to 54, Park Walk—in consequence of a message from Inspector Melville I went to Vitz's, a cabinet-maker, in a street near by—I saw the prisoner there and told him that Chief Inspector Melville and other officers were at his house and would require him to be there—he said, "Hallo, what's up now? Are you looking for some more dynamite?"

No worries, Gloria, I was actually reading up on the South African side of your family when you turned up here; and you are most welcome here.
You may not know that it is my belief that Thomas Cutbush's father - Thomas Taylor Cutbush - ended up in South Africa, after leaving Fiji, and may well have died there... and I believe that he was visiting members of your family there. He often ended up in places around the world where he had a strong family connection to the Floods, Mears and even the Stoddarts.
I'd be very interested to know if there is any family connection you are able to make to the Whitechapel Bell Foundry or any of the properties owned by the Flood-Cutbush clan around the foundry?
I don't know how much you know about Debra's, Robert's and my own research into your family, but it is certainly an interesting diversion to look into the family links to Fiji where one finds the Cutbush clan linked to the Swann family - who now virtually run and rule Fiji - through the Taylor family - who own a bell foundry in England.
Prepare for the journey of a lifetime.

Cap'n Jack,
Is there somewhere that I can go to read up on the South African side of the Cutbush clan? I have just hit brick wall after brick wall, which is quite ridiculous when you consider that is where I am from. Unfortunately, or maybe not, I am the last in line, bar my two issue who at this moment do not seem too interested.
Matilda and Mary Ann Mears are related to me by their husband, Luke Flood Cutbush. Regarding the Properties, I unhappily have to say, I wish...... Don't have a clue who owns them or what happened in the event of there not being an heir apparent. Saw a T.V. programme about missing heirs and a firm that traces them. Pity I didn't take more notice. As for the Swanns, I'm connected only by marriage , Stoddarts, ditto.
It feels as though I have already been journeying on this family of mine for a lifetime. Will I ever get to the end of it and be able to say job done???
Debra did tell me that the three of you were working on the Cutbush Clan
which has been a god-send for me being able to pick up what I have off the JtR site. Thanks a million you gems.
Gloria
P.S. I'm off to Fiji

Hi Leesean

I am responding to your enquiry for living descendants of Thomas Cutbush.
I am his half 2nd great grand niece.

This is also my first shot at joining the JtR Forum and I feel pretty nervous.

Please feel free to contact me if you wish.

Regards,

Gloria

Hi Gloria,

Welcome to the site. So nice to meet you. There's a lot to see on this site. I often come across something that I had not seen before. Looking forward to talking with you.

Cap'n Jack, Thanks for your welcome and true to prophecy, Robert contacted me to welcome me to the site. I am having a bit of a battle finding my way around the site (bit of a dodo on computers), but I am getting there.
I continue to read the Forum with interest. I can now understand what all the "hush" was about with my family history - a notorious relative!
