Canvas Weavers of Tring

By the way Marton - how did you happen to receive the Italian lady's  warming pan?  Intriguing!

 :)Good heavens! what a find! The warming pan came from my mother, thru the foster line I think and it was supposed to belong to her gt ? mother who worked in the Black Boy Inn on the gt. Bath Road, where I know not! All her families came from Tring, Ivinghoe , Marsworth and Kings Langley. Thanks so much, I will await more ! Perhaps it was a Cutler Beckett warming pan!

Hi Marton,

I've done a bit more research - and found a couple of things on my tree. 

I found the following records which may - or may not - be relative to your Fosters:

Sarah Eversley married Cutler Beckett on 21/9/1822
Mary Priest married Cutler Beckett on 11/9/1866

I shouldn't think there were 2 Cutler Becketts - but there might have been!  Both were marriages in Tring.  It could be that he married twice - as Mary Priest did.

On my tree I have a John Becket who married Sarah Cutler on 27/1/1795.  They had possibly Elizabeth Beckett b.8/1/1801 (c. 25/12/1849), and possibly Thomas Beckett c. 7/8/1796 and possibly George Becket c. 4/11/1798 (d. 11/10/1801)

All in Tring.  I say possibly as the Family Search records say the parents were John Becket and Sarah who were the parents of these children - so I presume they were John Beckett and Sarah Cutler.  I am wondering if Cutler Beckett was their son too (connecting their surnames) as I can't find any record of Cutler Beckett's birth.  A lot of the records at this time went missing.

Sarah Cutler was daughter of John Cutler (B.1748) and Ann Bull (b.1752) who were married on 11/10/1773.   She had brothers and sisters, the majority of whom went into the canvas weaving business and owned properties etc in Akeman Street, and Frogmore End.  So I think the connection is via Cutler Beckett.  The family at this point gets  very interesting, all about the canvas weaving etc and the various connections between the big families in Tring at that time.

Have you any more names/information that you could tell me as there might be more connections?  Who came from Ivinghoe and Bucks for instance?

Anyway, I'm tired now after all that searching

I will be in touch again

 :)Dear Diana, once again ,thank you.
re Cutlers-not a family I had thought to persue,I think Mary Priest is "ours", there were also Wiggington connections, and the name of Prior comes somewhere.Have sent for m. certs.
The Ivinghoe name is Deighton, and the Kings Langley /Abbots Langley is Jordan. I found a connection for Nathaniel Rothschild and the silk mill, I think he tried to keep it going when the silk trade collapsed?
When I can talk to my daughter to see if she has any more about it all I'll be in touch

 :)Hello Diana, yes, Cutler did mary Mary in 1866, he-65, she,45 bothwidowed.so that solves that one. Have  2 ref. no's for James and Elizabeth's marriage, so that one I will need to probe

Hi Mary,

Have you got the marriage certificate for Cutler and Mary?  Please let me know if you get it as it should have the parents of Cutler on it.  I spoke to my contact about the 'Italian Lady' and it is actually someone who is living.  So not your 'Italian Lady' - just a coincidence.

I was at the archives place in Islington the other day but there is no trace of Cutler Becket in 1841 - hence no birth record.  However, I wonder if he was actually christened something else but known afterwards as Cutler?

Keep in touch

Diana

Hi Mary,

Then that means that it looks likely my Sarah Cutler who married John Beckett in 1795 were the parents of Cutler Beckett.

Now why is the father of Mary Priest called John Law??

Would you care to correspond via email Mary?  I could send you the Cutler tree then so you can see how the canvas weaving business all evolved.  My email address is:  Email address removed.  Please use our secure personal messaging system to exchange personal information.
