Hi Martin . yes please I am very interested in any information on William rule Jeatt . I am also trying to discover why he was admitted to Hasler hospital . Also any information on his brother Richard Brooking . Are you the Martin from Lulworth Cove ?  I have discovered reports on Williams Rules father,  Richard Jeatt  He was a High profile Customs Officer in the  early 1800s  at Bembridge I O W these  reports I discovered under the heading   customs in the news 1800 -1898,  there are also others that I have printed off . I am working on a new computer that that has  different controls . when I can find out how to work it   I will follow up this reply with a  photo of   William Rule in his uniform .  Thanks for the reply . Regards Tony Jeatt .

Hi First day on this web site .My surname is Jeatt my ancestors come from  Kingswear, Brixham And Dartmouth, St Saviors and St Petrocs Church  Mainly mariners and coast guards  Our surname has been spelt many different ways over the years but always with a soft G or J early 1880s Jeate. Which would suggest pronouncing the name as Jeet.  For the last 100 years it has been pronounced Jet. I am interested in finding any information about our family that may not be available from normal channels. There is mention of a medal from the early 18th century ? Is there any information out there ? If any one is seeking information about our name I will try and help them  . I have a couple of early photos from pre 1900 of my great great grand father  William Rule Jeatt who was a coast guard at Lulworth cove , he retired to Weymouth .There are many mentions of his father Richard who was an officer in charge at Bembridge. I O W  . He must have earned enough in prize money to send two of his sons to Dartmouth college. A third son became a school teacher . A fourth son  was an auctioneer . Earliest mention of our name is 1607 Timothie  Jeate Married Sarah pray. Dartmouth . Regards Augustus
