[RobPhill]

Looking for any details of the Jerrett family:
Henry Jerrett m. Emily Fryer 16.5.1917

Henry Jerrett m. Ellen Lindupp 21.4.1894

James Jerrett, b. 1838 m. Elizabeth Over, b. 1846

James Jerrett m. Amelia Evans 10.3.1833

A friend has just started her family history so she is looking for ANY details of her father's family.

Hello Rob

This is a bit fractured   What are the possible relationships between these people?

Are they fathers and sons in the order you have given ?

Are there any possible ages / dates of birth known ?

I have found a Henry Jerrett and and Ellen Jerrett in 1901 in Portsmouth, both are married but not living together - Henry is in a Soldiers Institute, Ellen is living alone, says Wife.

This Henry was born c. 1865 and I have found a Henry b. 1866 Portsmouth, in 1871,  but his parents are James and Louisa  -  James born 1837 in Portsea.   You dont have a james and Louisa on your list.

Doesn't quite fit  and don't want to raise hopes by pursuing the wrong people

Hi, Mum,
Thank you for your prompt reply. Sorry if my mesage was a little jumbled but it was as Elizabeth gave it to me.

James Jerrett m. Amelia Evans is the most distant. No known birth date. Amelia was b. 18.9.1814
They had 3 children, Sophia Jane, b. 25.1 1835
James Jerrett,b. 1838, d. 1900 at Camberwell He married Elizabeth Over, b. 1846
Maria Eliza, c. 17.7.1836

James & Elizabeth had Henry, b. 1866 who married Ellen Lindupp (she re-married Mr. White)

Henry, b. 29.8.1894, d. 22.5.1959 married Emily Fryer, b. 9.3.1893, d. 1987
They had: 
Cecil,
Ellen, married Ron ?,
Henry,  m. Una
George m. Gwen (no dates)  *

On the list was also:
John Jerret married Mary Hardwick 1717, They had 9 children:
John, c. 1718
Francis, c. 1729
Timothy,c. 1726
Eliza, c. 1727
James, c. 1723
Joseph, c. 1735
Jane, c. 1720
Mary, c. 1733
Benjamin, c. 1737

She would like to tie up the 18th century period.
I found Henry, b. 1866 as a soldier but was amused to see that he was based at Parkhurst, Isle of Wight - not the prison, though!!

Many thanks for your help.

RobPhill.

Helo Rob

You may or may not know that Parkhurst was a huge Army Barracks in the later part of th 19th century - I think it might have been a sort of staging post - I have found several families with children born there, and the children on either side of them were born Ireland, India, South Africa etc.  So perhaps, being close to Portsmouth and the shipping lanes, if was a place of embarkation ?

Anyway -

1841
HO107  P. 1088/2  Fol. 44  Pg. 4

St. Saviour Southwark, Surrey

JARRET
James  50  Egg merchant
Amelia  30
Amelia  6
James 3
Louisa  1

Father, mother and James jnr. not born county, two daughters were born county.

BUT :  there are 3 extracted baptisms on the IGI from St. Mary's Portsea :

Amelia Sophia Jane  25 Jan 1835
Maria Eliza  17 July 1836
James 22.4.1838

I can't find them, at the moment, in 1851 or 1861

Two baptisms for a James Jerret at St Mary in Southampton, both with the same parents
 
10 Jan 1794, buried 10 Dec 1794 and 4 Feb 1796, parents James & Elizabeth.

Thanks to "Mum" & "Nell" for the information given. I am puzzled why more of the families are not listed in the censuses as they seem to have been in Portsea area for many years. I'll have to keeping searching.
Thanks once again.

The name is open to all sorts of mistranscriptions and variants:

Jerrett, Jerritt, Jerret, Jerrit, Jarrett, Jarret, J might have been read as another letter.  Creative thinking will probably be required.

Hello, I am related to an Ellen Mercy Lindupp born in Portsmouth early 1870s, my grandmother was her older sister.  They were daughters of Edward and Emma.  I have never researched Ellen Mercy, maybe I should, but I do know further back.

Hi, Cynthia,
Have sent you a Personal Message with details. Some of the people may be still living, so didn't want to give details.
