Hi there Margie,
If you find that you go back to a William BRETT/BRITT born c 1791 Hollington, Sussex, married to Mary born c. 1798 Ore, Sussex (don't know maiden surname - haven't researched that bit yet), then I have some children and census details you may want, just let me know.
Best wishes, haliared

Hi Tati
Thank you for the census information. I will follow this up. It looks like this is the William Brett I am after.
Kind regards
Lynne

Hi Haliared
There is not a marriage in Ore to a William and Mary - but there is one in Hollington of about the right time frame
Location: Hollington, East Sussex, Date: 24 Nov 1815:
Groom: William BRETT
Bride: Mary BEENY, with the consent of her parents
Both married by Banns.
Hope it helps

Hi there Chris,
How very kind of you to look that up for me, I think that is the correct one, as the first child (that I have listed from the censuses) - William was born c. 1819 in Hollington, and I feel that there should have at least been a daughter Mary, but the older ones had probably left home by 1841, so 1815 would work out perfectly.
Thanks very much for your help, it is much appreciated,
Best wishes, haliared

Hi Margie, we must be related! I am a GG grandaughter of Sir Henry Hallows Brett of Takapuna. I'd like to find out more of his wife Lady of Mary Moon from Hastings and their siblings. Can you help. Anneslie

Hi Ashmole and welcome.
The only information I have on Mary Moon's family is that she grew up in Sussex and her father was called James. She and Henry Brett knew each other as children apparently. She was born in Hastings about 1837 and died at home (Epsom, Auckland) on 24 Sept 1932. She was buried in the Brett family plot at O'Neils Point Cemetery, Bayswater, Auckland. She married Henry Brett (1843-1927) on 22 Nov 1864 at St Pauls Anglican Church in Auckland.
Anything else I find I will gladly pass on.
Margie

HI Margie, thank you for that. My grandmother was a grandaughter of Henry and Mary Brett. What I don't know is aside from Arthur ( my GG grandfather) who were the other children of Sir Henry and Lady Mary Brett. Can you help with this also. Many thanks, Anneslie

Hi ashmole
In that case your grandmother was my grandfather's sister and I can work out which line you come from as so few girls in that generation! Arthur being our great grandfather.
The children of Sir Henry and Mary Moon are as follows:
Arthur Rowland 1866-1949 (married E Barker))
Ada Amelia 1868-1952 (married W Rainger)
Amy Laetitia 1870-1937 (married W Wood)
Harry Lloyd 1872-1917 (married F Mair)
Alfred Hallows 1874-1960 (married L Bailey)
Emily Marion 1877-1917 ( married P Wood bro of W Wood above)
Infant son died 1880
Would love to share any information with you.
Margie

Hi Margie, that is great news because I never knew until now what the other siblings names were. I worked at pretty quickly that you were descended from my great Uncle Hallows. Hope I got that correct!! I live in Sydney now, but I am always over in the homeland and have often thought of a Brett family reunion? Cheers, Anneslie

Hi Margie, I'am into this now! Did the Wood side of the family go to ChCh to start up the paper there? I had a feeling this might be so? My grandmother, Alleyne, only ever talked of four Henry and Mary Brett children, so it is with amazement that I learn from you that there were more and how wonderful to know that there might be more "lost" relatives out there! I met Norman and Cath when I was young, and was very close to Nance and Trevor. Best wishes, Anneslie

Hi Anneslie
Will reply offline as this relates to NZ Bretts and not Sussex Bretts.

Hi Lynne,
I vividly remember working with a 'Mr Trevor Brett' - in Hastings c.1988. A portly gentleman I seem to recall; aged about 45-50yrs.
In addition to accountancy, he also found time to manage a pub - full time !!
Eventually, something had to give...
'Hope this little bit helps too. (?)
Good Luck with researching your family's dynasty.
Slim

Hi Chris
I have found details of Thomas Brandon Brett (Hastings 1816) & Henry Brett (Hastings 1820) and their parents and wonder if you are able to verify any of the following for me:
Father is Thomas BRETT born 1788 Hastings, Sussex
Mother is Sarah (possibly Sarah RANGER)
Paternal grandfather is William BRITT born 1755 Bexhill, Sussex
Paternal grandmother is Mary CLEAVER
Siblings are all born in Hastings, Sussex and listed as:
Ann BRITT born 1778
Mary BRITT born 1780
Mercy BRITT born 1781
Elizabeth BRITT born 1782
Richard BRITT born 1783
Susannah BRITT born 1789
John BRITT born 1791
If the above is correct then for some reason Thomas BRITT (father of Thomas Brandon and Henry) changed the spelling of his name from BRITT to BRETT.
Have you any records on your database that match the above?
Many thanks.
Margie
