Hi Alonso
Thanks again for your personal message.
It was a pleasure to help you in your research- if I can help you further at any other time, please do not hesitate to ask me, or better still, place another request on the Sussex Boards (the Best on Rootschat)
Cheers for now
Chris in 1066

Hi,
I've just come across your posts about Henry Brett back in 2006, I am also tracing this line but can't find any record of a marriage between Henry and Jazer Harriet (his second wife), have you any suggestions as to where I might find it? I've already checked the GRO and have visited Lewes records office but not found it easy to use.
I'm descended from Henry and Jazer, they are my GG Grandparents, then from Alonzo and Emily.
Any help would be really appreciated.
regards
Annie

Hi Nigel thank you for the reply, our grandparents were brother and sister making us second cousins. I have been doing this side of the family tree for a few years and until recently had trouble going back any further than Henry and Jazer Harriett.I have a copy of Alonzo's birth certificate which says jazers name as Wallis she was born in Wadhurst in 1844 to Isaac and Eliza wallis, in 1871 he is a post master. Jazer is Henrys second wife, as yet i can not find a marriage for them.
I live in Farnborough and we drive by Model cottage most weeks, apparently it has not changed from the outside much.
I have copies of Alonzo and Jazers birth certificate if you would like a copy.

Hi there,
Not sure if this is any help to anyone, but I am helping to trace a Brett family from Hastings/Hollington (via Anne daughter of William and Caroline BRETT) for a friend, and I have found them often indexed/transcribed as BRITT - accents responsible I bet !
Best wishes, haliared.

My grandmother was Florence Elsie Brett. Her parents were William George Brett and Alice Brett nee Harris. This is where my search comes to an abrupt end sort of. Florence had a brother also William George Brett born 29th May 1900 at 69 Paynton Road, St Leonards-on-sea, East Sussex. I thought I was being clever searching the 1901 census for that address but only found the Smith family. Although strangely all the first names of the Smith family were the same as my grandmother's parents and siblings. Confused yet? The only documentation I have is a marriage certificate for William George 'Britt' and Alice Harris married on 27th April 1895.
Just to finish this saga off, William George 'Britt's father, according to this marriage certificate is William George Britt.
I think you can see why I am confused and thoroughly frustrated with this search but desperate for information. I am absolutely certain I am looking for the Brett family as according to my grandmother she was related to Sir Henry Brett.
Please help!

Hi Tati
Thanks for the information. I was wondering if you have the names of Harriet's parents she was living with in 1871.

Hello to all of you (from a rather damp NZ) and thank you for the information above, especially Chris. I have found your 1066 site invaluable - thank you!
I am the G-G-granddaughter of Sir Henry Brett, son of Henry Brett the tailor and nephew of Thomas Brandon Brett, in whom it appears he found great inspiration. I have been researching the family tree and have mostly done the NZ side which for me is easy. One brother went to Australia and I am also working on that.
I also have struggled to get past Thomas Brett 1816 and Henry Brett 1820 as records become more difficult to obtain. Any information would be greatly appreciated and any success I have I am happy to post/share.
I am especially interested in Mary Ann Hallows as my father was called Hallows and throughout the NZ Brett relations (all mixtures of surnames) there is a smattering of Hallows used as a middle name.
When Sir Henry Brett (25 Feb 1843 St Leonards) was knighted he declined to take a coat of arms and said he instead would adopt his mothers - he never did this. I have all his knighthood documents and medal and wish to follow that through.
I have added the family tree since Thomas and Henry on ancestry.co.uk. I have left it private for the moment (whilst it is a work in progress) but am happy for any of you to view it. If so let me know your email address which I understand is all that is required.
Best wishes
MBrett

Hi Margie
Spotted these in my database - do you have them?
Brett Thomas, baptised on 5th July 1816 at St Clements, Hastings, son of Thomas & Sarah, Blacksmith
Brett Henry, baptised on 15th Sept 1820 at St Clements, Hastings, son of Thomas & Sarah, Blacksmith
There are also more children to Thomas & Sarah - Matilda 1818, William 1825
Unfortunately the Sussex Marriage Index does not show a marriage for them, so possibly they did not marry in Sussex

Thank you Chris they are a great help. I will keep searching.
Perhaps they married in a neighbouring county.
Kind regards
Margie
