In my tree I have an Arthur Edwin Wells Garrett, son of Richard Wells Garrett and Catherine Pearson, who married Ellen Eliza Moss....he would be my second cousin, twice removed. There was a mention of being a hatter.
Hi - its been a few years and I've picked this up again trying to find out a bit more about my grandfather's dad Arthur Edward Wells-Garrett.
I had thought I was related to Arthur Edwin Wells-Garrett but I'm not so sure. The mystery seems to be that Arthur Edward also married an Ellen Wells-Garrett (my grandad's mum). This is what Teresa Pask Kindly passed on:
My grandad was Thomas Wells-Garrett.

Can you shed anymore light on who Arthur Edwin Wells-Garrett and if he had any cousins/brothers ? I believe my grandad Thomas had a sister Ellen.
