I’m reminded that Cutlock isn’t the only rare name in the family tree, at least as judged by the Ancestry website surname look-up feature. This uses the 1891 census records (England and Wales), showing a distribution map at county level (of people, not families as it states).
Cutlock – 10 people, all in Norfolk. The one who was born in London has married in.
Laddiman – 9 people, all in Norfolk.*
I have the impression that there are now more Laddimans than Cutlocks, given the prevalence of female offspring in the latter.
Any bidders for greater exclusivity at 1891 (excluding transcription/spelling errors, please!)?
* Laddiman on the other hand is clearly connected to variations on the name Liddiman, and also Liddiment (need to find my notes on that last one).

Cutlock and Cullum, or for Laddiman, Neal family (under Eliza).
Have something to add?
