Sorry for not replying to you sooner Alf. I am new to all this ancestry research so I don’t know a great deal yet.  All of my surname interests come from the Rugeley area mostly and I know that a few of them were buried in Rugeley. I will post more info when I find it.

Hi

I am interested in tracking LYCETT. My father, and along his line were from West Bromwich. But somewhere along the line, Rugeley seems to have cropped up, and somehow its got muddled in or is connected with my Lycett's.  I have just learned that my great grandfather Thomas Lycett (his wife was Clara) was a Romany Gypsy and am interested in pursuing this. Can you shed any light at all or give me any pointers? I do not know if it goes back any further as yet, though I have reached to 1798 so far. Am interested in learning more about the Rugeley Lycetts as they are probably connected to me.

Any info would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks

Hi there Linda thank you for your reply 



I must admit I have come to bit of a brick wall concerning my Rugeley Lycetts but what I have discovered on my mothers side is that my great grandfather was John Lycett also known as Jack who was a cole miner and his wife was Selina and they mostly lived in Rugeley as far as know. I am interested in finding a connection between your Thomas Lycett and my John Lycett and to see if the west Bromwich and the Rugeley Lycetts are indeed related. Would you like to share future information that I find on the Rugeley Lycetts?



Regards

Wendy

Hi Wendy

Yes, I would be very interested to swap info. I have also been trying to find a connection, because I feel there has to be one. All my records are in storage with the rest of my stuff at the moment, but I do remember that there seems to be 'overlapping' information with my Lycetts and Rugeley.

Use my normal email address, its easier:  sorcaress@mediamagic.com.au

What gen program do you use?  I am using Legacy 6.0 (the free version at the moment).  If I can work out how to do it, I could email the file to you. There are lots of gaps that have to be filled in, but somewhere, maybe on one of the children it has to cross.

I am back to 1798, Thomas Lycett and Phoebe (yet to be verified) and I think it may be from there somewhere that the Rugeley bit starts. I dont know his brothers as yet. What do you have on when the first Lycett's were in Rugeley - any dates? Who were your man's brothers and sisters, and parents? (mother's name as there are so many Thomas's!)

I have soooo much to go through, it will take a while to sort it all out! lol...

I am also finding it a challenge to find a living Lycett relative, but they have to be somewhere. My parents are not interested and have no idea about the rest of the 'family'.

Where are you living?  I am in Australia but English born (Wolverhampton).  I may be over there next year for a quick visit, it would be good to catch up if that is possible for both of us.

Hi Lin


I agree there must be a connection between our lycetts along the line somewhere. Any information you have is much appreciated and any new information I receive I will pass on to you. 



As to the genealogy program I am trying to use the who do you think you are software. I’m not really too sure when the Lycetts settled in Rugeley but I have heard that they could have been there since the late 1600s but I’m not entirely sure this is accurate yet. Unfortunately I haven’t managed to locate John Lycetts siblings or parents yet. But my mother has been trying to help me with this; she was born and raised in Rugeley and I was partly raised in Rugeley myself as well and she tells me that there are Lycett relatives that she knows are still living there.   



I currently live in Essex although I originally hail from Staffordshire. Here is a website you may find of interest that’s all about Rugeley there is a page on the website about streets of Rugeley there you will find Albion Street where a lycett   family lived during the 1800s to add to this there was also Lycett families that lived in Etching hill and Sheep fair in Rugeley and I am currently trying to find out if they are related to my John lycett. It would be great if we could catch up when your over here let me know more about your visit soon.

Thankyou   

Your Browns, would they have any link with the Abbots Bromley Brown's? That area comes under Rugley Registration area.
