Title: Looking for parents of James Hyett, b 1808
Post by: Creek Mill on Friday 25 August 06 14:06 BST (UK)
I've come to a grinding halt with trying to take the Hyett side any further - can anyone help?

James Hyett, born 1808 in Brockworth, Gloucestershire

Moved to Worcestershire circa 1840s, he was a carpenter
Married Mary, son Edward Henry b 1849

Thanks!

Hi Creek Mill,

The IGI batch no. C035391 (www.familysearch.org) has Brockworth baptisms from 1580 - 1812 but there doesn't appear to be a record for James HYETT in 1808.  There is however a record for a John HYETT from 18th March 1808, parents Edward HYETT & Ann and a record for a James HYETT from 16th December 1787, parents Thomas HYETT & Mary.

Regards,

Al

I wonder if John's middle name was James and he started using his middle name later on in life?
Thanks for the lookup! :)

I've only just started my search, hence the delay in responding.
I believe James Hyett is my great great grandfather!It's interesting that he was a carpenter, because the memorial stone in Brockworth churchyard shows that Edward Hyett, John's father was as well. It also has some information about other siblings as shown on here.   http://www.wishful-thinking.org.uk/genuki/GLS/Brockworth/MIs.html

From looking at the basic records, I think it may be the same James Hyett who died in Worcester in 1886 and whose wife was possibly Mary Hyett, b. 1814  d. 1876 in Worcester.

Hope this helps.

I go through Edward H and Sarah A via their daughter, Annie Elizabeth. I tried to find Sarah, who was born in 1847, on the 1851 census, but can only find Ann Hyett, who I suppose may be the same person. I don't know if the Hyett families in Brockworth and Boddington are related, but I assumed so, as Edward and Sarah both had that surname. i searched through Brockworth churchyard last Sunday and I'll go to Boddington a.s.a.p.

I didn't reliase that Sarah's maiden was also Hyett untill I found their marriage details from 1871 - I agree with your assumption with the 1851 census, giving us George Hyett b 1813 in Brockworth as her father - I currently have my tree hosted on ancestry - if you use it I can give you access to it

I don't have my own computer but i'm allowed to do some things at work. Unfortunately, this doesn't include anything I have to pay for!

I'm using the basic Ancestry data, but i can't get into the detailed census information. I don't know if I can access your information, but I'd like to try, if that's ok.

Here he is (I think) 1841 census.  Names spelt Hyatt, but  so what.
St Martin, District 11, Worcestershire
address = Lowesmore, Newtown.
Head - James Hyett age 30, carpenter joiner, not born in county.
wife - Mary age 25, born in county, as are children
son - William age 4
son - James age 2
also in household - John Mason age 31, carpenter joiner, born in county
could John be a brother in law?

hope this helps  Fred

Just had a look at Brockworth, there are two families, the first is probably James's family.  A woodowrking family by the look of it
Yew Tree cottage, Brockworth.
Edward Hyett age 70, carpenter born in county as they all are.
son - John age 30
Jane  age 35 daughter or daughter in law?
William age 8 grandson?
Ann Lloyd age 3

nearby, first household recorded the other side of the vicarage
head - James Hyett age 60, sawyer
wife - Sarah 55
son - Giles 15
daughter - Comfort age 15
also George Belcher age 50, independent means.

I wonder if twins are a link, Giles and Comfort are given the same age, and John age 30, who may be James's brother is also said to be 30.   Something to think about  fred

Don't forget ages (except for young children) were meant to be rounded down to the next 5 below in the 1841. So someone recorded as aged 15 could be any age between 15 and 19. Not all emunerators seem to have followed instructions - thanks to them!

Thanks RCB - there are lots of misspellings of Hyett - makes tracing them that much harder!
