on 1851 Census no sign of Thomas but a George Skidmore 11 Fitter up Labourer
on 1841 Census son Thomas Skidmore 2

Possible marriage George Skidmore & Emma Cutler Birmingham 1861

1) I think Thomas and George are same person
2) There is a link between Guest and Cutler families on bcc already but have not found it yet

1891 Census 50 Parsonage Street Oldbury Worcs.
Emma Skidmore Head 47 (wid) born Halesowen Worcs.
Mary A. Skidmore dau 20 Screw Worker
George Skidmore son 16 Labourer
Rest born Oldbury Worcs.

Emma Skidmore Head 57 (wid) Shopkeeper born Lapal Worcs.
George Skidmore nephew 23 Clerk Phosphorus Works
Alice Odell servant 14 Domestic Servant
Rest born Oldbury Worcs.

Note George Skidmore Nephew is son of Benjamin Skidmore another son of Isaiah Skidmore

This Charles Guest married an Eliza Cutter
http://www.bcconnections.tribalpages.co ... =622540101

and their son Caleb Guest is shown as Nephew to Thomas Skidmore and Emma in 1871

so I think that Eliza Cutter is Eliza Cutler

There is also this one in the Northfield area.

I think I have sent photos to the gallery for many of these Guest and Sarah Cutler?

Cutter is the most common mistake made when transcribing Cutler.

I always look for Cut*er if the search engine allows wildcards.

Thanks Mark,
Someone on Ancestry has same theory as me i.e. That Thomas Skidmore is actually George Thomas Skidmore
but problem is Hannah below

1871 Census for Parsonage Street Oldbury West Bromwich Worcs.
Thomas Skidmore Head 29 Engine Fitter born Rowley Regis
Emma Skidmore wife 28
Sarah Skidmore dau 7 born Oldbury Worcs.

Hannah Cutler mother.in.law (wid) Annuitant
Abel Cutler brother.in.law 26 Blacksmith
Caleb Guest nephew 19 Labourer
Rest born Halesowen Worcs.
