d 27 May 1802 at Bolsover.

The following excerpts contain information that seems to be historically incorrect. The Scarlet Pimpernel was active in 1792, long after Sarah Dodsley married George Cuttell in 1763. By 1792 there were already at least 3 generations of Cuttells in the area. There were though Dodsley's at Skegley Hall, which apparently was near to Mansfield. No trace of it on modern maps, although there is a part of Mansfield called Skegby. Perhaps there was another Miss Dodsley around in 1792 who eloped with a Frenchman named Cuttle?

Excerpts from a letter Edith Goodall wrote to her daughter Cynthia in November 1967:

Miss Dodsley's father was Squire and owner of the Skegley Hall. I heard this romance as I sat taking tea and enjoying the home baked bread and buns. Aunt Mag continued on with her story, the young Miss Dodsley fell in love with the groom at the time and climbed the old wall having been locked in her room. Miss Dodsleys oak chest had her maiden name inside.
She somehow got out, taking treasures of silver, a lot of nice clothes she hidden in the oak chest and succeeded in getting safely away with her young lover, who was outside ready and waiting for the get away. She lost the family allowance this all to gain happiness, she was lost too, from her parents forever. I myself have seen the trunk which held her treasures, but these in after years were shared amongst the family perhaps lost.
The groom so the story goes was a Frenchman, named De-Cuttel. It is said he was, with a few other, Tibshelf families brought over to England by the Scarlet Pimpernel, this is what they claim, as there is another French family named De-Brailsford who live close by.
