Anecdote The marriage of Tom Flood Cutbush to a Sophia Cope in 1803 caught my eye, as I had already noted that the Cope family - just like the Flood/Cutbush clan - were big-time at the Old Bailey, oyers, prosecutors and offices of the law and court. In fact one Thomas Cope - the officer of Islington - was a one-man-band who brought to justice more crooks than Elliot Ness. Delving a little more I discover that closely connected members of the extended family were very wealthy watchmakers who combined that with a chandlers warehouse - just like the Flood/Cutbush crew - and delved in the sugar making and baking industry, again just like the Flood/Cutbush clan. ‘COPE John (sugar maker) (inquest) (pot fell on head) Whitechapel London 1822 LMA MJ/SPC/ E/1647’ Residence 1808 Address:
