Can anyone helkp out, here, please. I would like to get another generation back, at least. Thanks

Page and Cutterick/Cuttsrick - Great Dunmow
I am looking for information on Arthur Cutterick or Cuttsrick born in Dunmow around 1880. It seems that Arthur's real name was Lee but his mother was 'sold' in the market to Mr Cutterick/Cuttsrick. (I've read that this was a low-cost way to divorce and usually agreed between the parties beforehand - no stigma attached.) The only records I have been able to find with a reference to Cutterick/Cuttsrick are the births of Ernest W Page in 1913 and Florence M Page in 1916(both in Dunmow)which show the mother's maiden name as Cutterick and Cuttsrick respectively. The timeline would be right for their mother to be Arthur's half-sister. Can anyone help with a first name for her or any other information?
