Hi Alan,
Perhaps it would help if you gave me all the information you already have as it would save time duplicating look-ups

I thought you said you had no trace of George and John after 1851?
Have looked at the 1861 census, that George Cuts (one t) is also a lacemaker, aged
27 though, (although census ages can't be relied on), wife Jane and 2 children.
Possible marriage Jun 1854 Basford 7b 143 George Cutts & Jane Spray
in 1871 RG10/3527 Folio 6 Page 6 George is missing, Jane married with 3 children.
You would need to get certificates to find out whether he would be the right George.
