Hi Tricia,
Were you writing to a John Dean in Canberra in the 1980's? That is my dad and he has passed on all the letters from a Patricia. Is that you?

Madgett was his mum maiden name.

I have not been able to find anything yet but I am hoping some other resources will become available next month as part of a fmaily history course I am doing through a university.

I would really like to solve the mystery of the two Georges and who their parents were, John and Elizabeth did not father both of them in the same year...unless this is one George with two lives, not sure how I wulod prove that!

Will see what I can find in my records this evening and let you know!!

On another topic, does anyone know about a Madgett who was a convict and sent to Botany Bay sometime in the 1900's who had a son who came to englad to try and claim land in Australia that may have belonged to this convict?
It was mentioned in notes I have from a Frank Swootman Madgett.

Cheers,
Gill

Hi,
I have all the people you mentioned on my database, Stephen Madget was the brother of George Madgett which is my line. In all there were 8 children.
There is some debate on who their parents were as there is a John Madgett who married a Elizabeth Gibbon and had a George born in 1971 (and you will see from this trail of emails that this George is thought to have married an Elizabeth Meen) but there is also a census entry in 1841 which has a George Madgett also born in 1971 living with a older generation of George madgett and Phoebe Madgett. I am certain that I am from a George Madgett who married a Phoebe but I don't know who these other people in the household are as no one on my tree currently meets has these names with the stated birth dates, but they could be uncle/aunty. I am currently trying to track down information on John and Elizabeth to try and sort out the two families. I will let you know how I go!

As for your John who married Harriet, he was born in 1814, I have him baptised on the 4th Feb 1816 in Wortham Suffolk. His father Stephen was born the 3rd child 8 in 1783 in Thrandeston, Suffolk and married Ann Fuller on the 6th Jan 1807 by the Minister George Betts in the presence of Martha Nunn and Robert Madgett (another brother). In the notes I am reading I have no other detail on Harriet but I will dig through all the paper notes to see if I can find more. I also have all access to the UK records so I will see what I find there.

Where about in Ontario are you? My best friend lives in Ottawa. I am in Canberra Australia so it is nice to see we have made it to many places around the world! There is a large group of midgets in New Zealand too but I am get to work out how they link in.

Keep in touch

Hi again,
I just found  in my office a copy of the family tree and I have no details which match yours... other then the john madgetrt and the Elizabeth Gibbon which I am now in doubt are related to me...though they are all from the same area so must link up somehow. it seems your dates sit between my generations. I don't have a William born in 1862 (1843, died 1843 and 1856 who married a Sarah SKinner) so I too am very confused. As pointed out there seems to be sevral madgett families at the same time.

What is the link between your George and Elizabeth Gibbon/John Madgett?
I have that Elizabeth Gibbon/John Madget had 8 children, one was Goerge Madgett (1791) m. Phobe Cobb (1800ish) who had  William (1820). Now there is confusion if this William married a Elizabeth Meen (which case they are not related to me) or if this William married a Ann Swootman and had 10 children. I am pretty sure that I am the William from Cobb married Ann Swootman as I got this information from the Madgett family that still run the bike shop in Diss...but I am happy for evidence to prove otherwise.

Do have a membership to any of the census sites? I do so let me know if you need anything looked up!

I know that I have fund out a bit more since I printed this family tree so I will check tonight.

Gill
