RICHARD GARRETT family from Southwark, London

[Mangano]

Been trying to find out more on my ancestor FRANCIS LUKE GARRETT(1780-1843). On ancestry.com, I've found that some have listed his year of birth as 1775 instead of 1780.
Looking up where he was interred, discovered that the church was damaged, if not completely destroyed during the Second World War, circa 1943.
 Would love to know the names of his ancestors....He was married to Elizabeth Wells(1780- ?   ) and I'm related to them throught their son, John Wells Garrett(1802-1864)

Since my last query, I received information that the parents of Francis Luke Garrett were Francis Garrett and Mary Mason. Also, he had a brother named William Albin Garrett who married the daughter of James Stephen, the great abolitionist of Britain!


There's also some discrepancy as to the year of birth of Francis Luke Garrett's birth....1775, 1780 and 1783!

Hi, I  have a funny feeling that Francis Luke Garrett who married Elizabeth Wells is not the same Francis Garrett who was the brother of William Albin & son of Francis & Mary.

I don't know where you got the link from, but I will try to trace the other Francis, brother of William A. You seem to be going out of area and from very wealthy to very poor in a very short space of time.

Looking at the copy of the parish records it says-

Francis Garrett Esq. & Mariann Linde both of the parish of Clapham

although they were married in London they were married by the Rector of Clapham by license from the Arch. of canterbury.

Witnesses were William Albin Garrett, Elizabeth Garrett, Robert Maclaurin?
