Gloucestershire / Re: Help please with the "Raggatt" Family
« on: Thursday 30 January 20 20:00 GMT (UK) »
Dear Meg,
I am Peter Raggatt of raggatt2@onetel.net and I live in UK in St Neots which is 20 miles west of Cambridge. raggatt.org.uk is my site but I don't update it much - it's an aid to making contact more than anything. My family came from Chipping Sodbury area.
I sent a reply to you in Aug 2019 but to be honest I'd forgotten it! Then this evening I came across your query again and I wondered how you are getting on and I also wondered if you had been affected by the terrible fires in NSW etc.
My family in UK has several connections with Raggatts/Raggetts in Australia. Notably there was Thomas Raggatt b 1826 who married Annie Sophia Stevens in 1848 and emigrated to the Strathalbyn area and has many descendents in Oz. This Thomas was a brother of my gt gt grandfather James Raggatt, both were sons of Daniel. Later Fred Raggatt, brother of my gt granadfather Rufus, emigrated and ended up in Alice Springs. Another brother Francis (Frank) emigrated to Wilmington, S Australia. All have descendents. There is also Sir Harold Raggatt b 1809 who was almost certainly of a connected family. His grandfather Edward Claude emigrated to NSW in1870 I think. What confuses things is that in England, Raggatt, Raggett, Raggot and even Rackett were written down in public records and often there was minimum other data. If I can help please ask me.
