Thomas Heathcote Tragett lived at Awbridge Danes, Awbridge near Romsey for many years. I have the family in the 1861 census and up to 1901. They seem to have been there earlier judging from the birth places of the children. If anyone has access to the 1841 and 51 census records I would be most grateful.
Thomas was born c 1799 in Newington Surrey. He married Louisa Lane (born c 1808) in 1825 in Leamington Warwickshire.
Many thanks

Your thomas had itchy feet by the look of it.
HO 107/ 400/12 fol 36
Louisa Tragett 30y, IN county "Ind" (? Independent means as occupation)
Louisa Tragett 19y IN county
Robert Tragett 6y, OUT County
Plus what appears to be a household of a dozen servants?

Andrea,
Im a direct descendant of TH Tragett and would be interested in finding out some more details of your findings.
TH Tragett was a Reverend, ordained in 1823. There was also some military connections in the family - I'm still trying to work that out. maybe the out of country bit was a stint in the subcontinent?
He took over ownership of Awebridge Danes in 1825 (sadly now out of the family...).
Another point of interest - his daugther Louisa, married into the Austen family (i.e. Jane Austen) so Im following up that connection too.
Pleas elet me know if you have anything else interesting to share?
Thanks, Rosie.

Dear Rosie
Welcome to rootschat. I did the research for Thomas Tragett for a friend and have handed it on so do not have it to hand. I have tried to contact her without success to ask if I can give you her details. You must be related somehow! I could easily redo it if you have not already got the census records and I also have a copy of Crockford for 1865 which gives a brief biography of his clerical career.
I will get back to you later.
