Hi,
[ for the notes pile ]
Is it def "Raggatt" and not "Raggett"?
SWHerts has Raggett residents around that time.

Hi Ray
Thank you for your prompt reply much appreciated
The spellings for the "Raggatt" family have been many
Raggatt, Rockett, Rackett, Ragett, Raggett
It depends on who has transcribed the information

William Raggatt married Harriett Neale 18 March 1844 at St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol, his father Daniel.
Daniel Raggatt married Hannah Farmer 19 Oct 1809 at Westerleigh
index for Eliza's marriage to Joseph Walker 22 May 1869 gives her father as James Raggatt. Family is on the 1851 census in Yate with surname noted as Rackett HO107/1956 folio 566 pg 14.
Possible marriage for James Rackett 30 May 1837 to Ann Sargeant
It's possible that William & James were brothers, but haven't found baptisms as yet...

Hi Osprey
Firstly thank you for taking the time to send all this information on the Raggetts
I think there must be a connection between all these Raggetts marrying with the same surname
I have never come across somebody marrying twice with the same surname
Please may I ask a question:
How do I find the Volume and Page Number for the GRO on a Marriage in 1778 and 1809?
Daniel Raggatt married Hannah Farmer 19 Oct 1809 at Westerleigh, Gloucestershire
William Raggatt married Susanna Gardner 22 Jun 1778 at Old Sodbury, Gloucestershire
Free bmd does not start until Sept. 1837
I have also looked at Ancestry and FindMyPast without success

you will not find Volume and Page numbers for pre 1837 events. You will need to search for parish records , many of which are on line , or visit the appropriate Archives Office if that is an option for you.( Ancestry has good coverage of Gloucestershire records .)

There is a website
Welcome to the Raggatt website
etc etc
can't seem to do the link.
Ancestry:
Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills
Will of Jacob Raggatt, Blacksmith of Old Sodbury, 14 May 1808

The second transcript if the Licence - the record has been transcribed as RAGGER - but Licences, gives more info.

There are others listed in the Forest of Dean Records and include

Ancestry, has
Gloucestershire, England, Land Tax Records 1713-1833 and results for RAGGATT including quite a number of RAGGATT/RAGGETT/RAGGOTT/RACOTT/ROGGOTT from Old Sodbury (Hundred of Grumfold Ash) and Wm RAGGOTT - Old Somerby etc. etc
This is another source of information.

Dear Meg,
I am Peter Raggatt of raggatt2@onetel.net and I live in UK in St Neots which is 20 miles west of Cambridge. raggatt.org.uk is my site but I don't update it much - it's an aid to making contact more than anything. My family came from Chipping Sodbury area.
I sent a reply to you in Aug 2019 but to be honest I'd forgotten it! Then this evening I came across your query again and I wondered how you are getting on and I also wondered if you had been affected by the terrible fires in NSW etc.
My family in UK has several connections with Raggatts/Raggetts in Australia. Notably there was Thomas Raggatt b 1826 who married Annie Sophia Stevens in 1848 and emigrated to the Strathalbyn area and has many descendents in Oz. This Thomas was a brother of my gt gt grandfather James Raggatt, both were sons of Daniel. Later Fred Raggatt, brother of my gt granadfather Rufus, emigrated and ended up in Alice Springs. Another brother Francis (Frank) emigrated to Wilmington, S Australia. All have descendents. There is also Sir Harold Raggatt b 1809 who was almost certainly of a connected family. His grandfather Edward Claude emigrated to NSW in1870 I think. What confuses things is that in England, Raggatt, Raggett, Raggot and even Rackett were written down in public records and often there was minimum other data. If I can help please ask me.
