Hello,

Concerning the children of Thomas Tallott & Miriam Whitley, you say they had 11 children. I could only find 7, they are Walter William, Harriet Ann, Annie, Louisa, Edwin, Henry & Sidney Ernest.

Who where the other 4, and where and when

Thanks Sunny

There is a birth registered in Witney Dec 1847 for Luke Thomas Tallett, and a death for Luke Tallett registered in Witney in Mar 1848. Do you have the birth and death certs to confirm he was a child of Thomas Tallott & Miriam Whitley?

Cheers,

Sunny

Hi Sunny Boy,

I can't remember details now.  I was helping someone with this research.  It's not my family.
It could be that the spelling was different.  I'm not sure.

Hi Jackie,

There does seem to be a variation in the way Tallett is spelt, I've seen, tollett, tullett & now tallott.

A descendant on here said there were 11 children, I could only find 7.

I attache a copy of Thomas Tallotts obituary which says there were 8.

I have the sons, but one daughter is missing, who is she?

Cheers,

Sunny

There were 11 children born to Thomas Tallott & Miriam Whitley.

They are:
1/ Luke Thomas Tallott born 1847, Oxon. I am in the process of getting a certificate for this guy.

2/ Walter William Tallott born 1849, Oxon.

3/ Harriet Ann Tallott born 1852, Oxon.

4/ Dorothy Tallott born1855 () Still looking into this one.

5/ Annie Tallott born 1859, Melbourne, Australia. Have seen record on Victorian BDM. will look again

6/ Louise Tallott born 1861, Melbourne, on the Victorian BDM

7/ Cecilia Tallott born 1861, Melbourne

8/ Edwin Tallott born 1863, Canterbury, New Zealand

9/ Henry Tallott born 1866, Canterbury, New Zealand

10/ Alice Elizabeth Tallott born 1868, Canterbury, New Zealand

11/ Sidney Ernest Tallott born 1872, Christchurch, New Zealand (my grand mother's father.)

I am in the process of obtaing as much sources & other info I can get for the children of Thomas & Miriam.

I am prepared to send a GEDCOM of this family.

I have noticed different variations of the surname Tallott, and for myself, I have just stuck to the spelling of Tallott just for simplicity.

I hope this helps for now.

Thank you for posting your list.

Here are my comments.

1/ Luke Thomas Tallott born 1847, Oxon. Awaiting confirmation from Birth Cert that he is indeed their son. 

2/ Walter William Tallott born 1849, Oxon. & 3/ Harriet Ann Tallott born 1852, Oxon. Agree 

4/ Dorothy Tallott born1855. Unable to confirm this one. No record of birth in Oxen, and wasn't on the 'Jessie Munn'  passenger list or 'Oscar'  passenger list. 

5/ Annie Tallott born 1859, Melbourne, Australia. & 6/ Louise Tallott born 1861, Melbourne, Australia. Agree 

7/ Cecilia Tallott born 1861, Melbourne. Cannot confirm this one. No birth record in Australia. Not on the 'Oscar'  passenger list. 

8/ Edwin Tallott born 1863, Canterbury, New Zealand, & 9/ Henry Tallott born 1866, Canterbury, New Zealand.  Agree 

10/ Alice Elizabeth Tallott born 1868, Canterbury, New Zealand. This is the daughter I had missing, I found her in the NZSG Certificates Collection, Reference: CTF01868. Alice Tallott married 9 June 1890, Christchurch CBY NZ. 

11/ Sidney Ernest Tallott born 1872, Christchurch, New Zealand. Agree 

This confirms there were 4 sons & 4 daughters as in Thomas's obituary.

I attache a scan of a handwritten note written at the time of Thomas's death, you will see in the left margin it confirms there were 4 sons & 4 daughters as in his obituary. Also mentions the property at Cust which was 40 acres and then expanded to 140 acres by his son Henry.

If there were a Dorothy & Cecelia, maybe they were adopted? It is strange in the 110 years or more that have past, they are now thought of as his children.

Cheers,

Sunny

You might like to try a query on the R'chat board for Oxfordshire.  I can't see any mentions for Dorothy at all.  Not many Oxfordshire records on-line but someone on that board may have access and can find more for you.

As they are shown in Handborough in 1851, perhaps the babies born before emigration were baptised in the local church.  I note that Blenheim Park itself is in the Woodstock registration district while Handborough is in reg district of Witney which is where Free Bmd index shows the registration of the births of
Luke Thomas Tallett (sic) Dec qr 1847, reg Witney, Vol 16, p127
Walter William Tallott, Sep qr, 1849,  reg Witney, Vol 16, p121
Harriet Tallatt (sic), June qr 1852, reg Witney, Vol  3a,   p558

The Blenheim estate is very large  and it would be very likely that an ag lab would be employed on the estate and living at Hanborough (current spelling).
