George Cutts - Waterloo Veteran 1793 -1875

Im researching into this veteran which I was not aware of in 2015 (200 th anniversary) of the battle.There is some info ref annual meetings at a pub now gone in Fargate but as far as Im aware no picture exists? Is anyone aware of where he is buried from 1875 I believe.?
It appears we have some family connecton via the Davison family line.I am aware of others who fought in the same battle with commemorations gravestones but not for George.I would appreciate any further help as I currently live in Ipswich so only come back up to family in Sheffield occasionally

Hi

I've found mention of him in an edition of the Sheffield Daily Telegraph published on 2nd October 1875:-


'George Cutts, the last Waterloo veteran residing in Sheffield, died on Thursday at the age of 84'
