Wow.. what a matrnal line that is!! Many thanks.
Francis TETT was Baptised Hinton St George, Somerset 2 Jun 1689.
Buried 11 May 1772 at Hinton St George.
He was married (1) to Elizabeth and the had the following children all baptized at HStG:
William Tett (1719-1726),
Sarah Tett (1720-1720),
Elizabeth Tett (1721-1722),
Francis Tett (1725-1807),
William Tett (1727-1732) and
Thomas Tett (1731-1731).
Francis’ wife Elizabeth is listed on his tombstone at HSG; the date of her death is only partly legible, but it appears to be 1746 (the parish register lists Elizabeth Tett as buried December 29 1746). Francis was buried at HSG May 11 1772
Dorset: - Registers of Marriages, 1558-1812
Marriages at Beaminster, 1686 to 1812.
Volume 1. County: Dorset
Francis Tett, of Hinton St. George, & Mary Poell 25 Jul 1747
This we believe is the Mary whose Will and burial is in Abergavenny as they had no children and those mentioned in the Will are all very closely related.
I believe that John & Francis TETT were 1st cousins but can get someone from that line to connect directly with you if it will help.
Now to find the proof ( of which we are fairly certain) that a link is only a generation away for the H St G and Crewkerne TETTs.
We are a little more numerous than GRONOUS' but have had many Welsh connections to South Wales over the years so a Plumber in Abergavenny is not beyond the bounds of possibilities!!
Many thanks
