Good day,

I am researching the 'Brickett' family tree. My grandfather's research highlighted that there was a Thomas Brickett who was a mayor of Salibsury in 1519. There was another Brickett who was a mayor of Salibsury in 1630. I am interested in seeing how he rest of my family tree links in with this Thomas Brickett.

Interestingly, Thomas Brickett was the founder of a charity that built an alm's house for the use of 5 poor men or woman. I have a photograph of the plaque in Salibsury commemorating the event. The alms houses are situated in Dragon street, Salisbury. The alms houses were built in 1534.

I suspect that Thomas may have had a son called Robert. I have no further information and was wondering if anyone had any further information?

Please note that I previously posted the same message into another filed - anyone with information to please respnd to this message.

Thanks!

Hi Ermy

Thank you for your advice.

My grandfather did some reasearch into this particular Thomas Brickett some years back when he was in the UK and was researching the rest of the family tree. Our family tree currently goes back to the 1500's with much of the 1500-1700 information being obtained from correspondence with researchers in the US and particularly Canada. We do have solid information (BMD, census, bapitsm and other docs) confirming the tree thereafter. We are researching a number of different areas of the tree at the moment, this being one of them. I am also particularly interested in understanding how the UK Brickett family name links in with that of the US (with information on the US side on its way shortly to me).

As mentioned, my grandfather appeared to have staretd to get some useful information but never did link it in with our existing tree. Our surname is rather unusual and hence feel that there must be a link.

Please don't get me wrong - this is not about linking in famous people into my tree - it is all about linking in areas of interest (the photos I have of the hospital that he opened) with my tree and understanding where our roots lie.

Holding my fingers for information.

Thanks for our advice and your prompt rely - much appreciated.

Regards
Stevie
