Hi pauljj,
Looks like James Harvoutt snr. was married to my 2xGt Grandmother and in 1891 lived with his son at 16 Cottage St Brierley Hill.
If this is one and the same he was christened in Rock Worcs. 18.12.1821 father William mother Elizabeth.
Surname then was Harvatt but there were a few different spellings between then and 1905 his death.
Does this ring any bells ?

Hi,
James snr 1921, was father to James, [ There was also a son born James,
but i think he changed it to Jim] Father to Louisa, my gran, my mothers mom, who had two brothers and one sister, also Louisa married again to a guy called Pettit, Don't know his first name yet [ working on that] and had at least 2 more children, Jimmy and Edward, Have many more names from register you may be interested in,
Keep in Touch ,

Hi pauljj,
Unfortunately my line goes though a son that Caroline Maria Knowles had prior to her marriage to James Harvett in 1848 at Rock Worcs. The son Joseph Knowles father unknown
spent much of his youth with his uncle and both were butchers in Brierley Hill.
I have really no useful info. on the Harvett ( Harvoutt ) line other than the census details to 1901 which I assume you already have.

Hi,
thanks for your info, i will dig deeper and get back to you if i find anything useful.
I found family tree maker in the USA, logged on and discovered Harvatt , Harvett tree is this your family tree?
Hope your research is more fruitful in the new year,
Happy new year to you and your family.

Hi
Harvett is not my direct tree, James Harvett from Rock in Worcestershire was step father to Joseph Knowles my 2xGt grandfather.
Joseph was born to Caroline Maria Knowles before she married James in 1848 and his father was unknown.
regards
robsdad
Happy new year to you and yours

Greetings robsdad and pauljj. I am a descendant of James and Caroline through their son Daniel Henry Harvat/Harvatt/Harvoutt. My genealogy research has been on the back burner for a few years now, but somehow ran across this post! I'm thrilled to hear of other descendants out there.

Hi Greg,
Ive only just started doing my family tree, its become addictive,. My line extends through James Harvatt / Harvoutt, born Bewdley moving to Brierley Hill Staffordshire. my gran was Louisa, married name Pettit , my mother, Emily Anne, sons Alan, John and myself Paul.
Please keep us updated if you would ,

Hello again Paul. This part of our tree is very confusing. It seems that the Harvat (all spelling variations) families in this small area each had numerous children. Each of the families, in each generation, named their children the same! So there are multiple James, Thomas, Edward, William, etc. Harvats from Bewdley that are brothers, cousins, uncles, fathers. Ironically, this continued through my lineage - my father had brothers named Daniel, James, Edward, and Thomas!
It is my understanding that the James Harvat (our gr, gr, grandfather)(who married to Caroline Maria Knowles) was born around 1820 and died in 1905 (as mentioned by robsdad). Children with them as listed on the 1861 census were Ann (10), James (9 *your gr, grandfather), William (5), and Thomas (3). Children with them as listed on the 1881 census were Thomas (22), Charles (19), Henry (15), and Daniel (13 *my gr, grandfather).
Louisa Harvoutt appears in the England and Wales Marriage Index, 1916-2005 as marrying George Pettit in the Oct-Nov-Dec 1917 time period in Stourbridge, Worcestershire.
Louisa Harvoutt (7) also appears on the 1901 census with her siblings Sarah A (15), Jun (probably Jim) (13), Lizzie (11), Daisy (5), and Jack (2). Their parents were James (50 *your gr, grandfather) and Mary A (46).
Do the puzzle pieces fit? I'm sure you found a number of Louisa Harvat / Harvatt / Harvett / Harvoutt in your searches as well...the common names make research a chore! hehe
Hope this helps.
Greg
