Hi Tati

Thank you for the census information.  I will follow this up.  It looks like this is the William Brett I am after.

Kind regards

Lynne

Hi Tati

Thanks for the information.  I was wondering if you have the names of Harriet's parents she was living with in 1871.

My grandmother was Florence Elsie Brett. Her parents were William George Brett and Alice Brett nee Harris.  This is where my search comes to an abrupt end sort of.  Florence had a brother also William George Brett born 29th May 1900 at 69 Paynton Road, St Leonards-on-sea, East Sussex.  I thought I was being clever searching the 1901 census for that address but only found the Smith family. Although strangely all the first names of the Smith family were the same as my grandmother's parents and siblings.  Confused yet?  The only documentation I have is a marriage certificate for William George 'Britt' and Alice Harris married on 27th April 1895.

Just to finish this saga off,  William George 'Britt's father, according to this marriage certificate is William George Britt.

I think you can see why I am confused and thoroughly frustrated with this search but desperate for information.  I am absolutely certain I am looking for the Brett family as according to my grandmother she was related to Sir Henry Brett.

Please help!
