FLETT
« on: Tuesday 03 March 09 14:15 UTC (UK) »
Hi

I’m researching my family tree and have a Paternal Great Grandfather – Thomas FLETT b1852-54 Stromness – married 17/02/1881 (Westminster, London) to Mary MUIR b1851 Dunfries. His father on the marriage certificate is a John FLETT – Occupation Tailor (Deceased). I believe Nicol FLETT (b1802 Harray) could be the same person and John may have been a middle name and known by name – there would then be a South Ronaldsay connection through his wife Margaret DUNNET.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again, I have replied to your Dumfriesshire posting regarding Mary Muir, but I also wonder if you have looked at the website cursiter.com, you will find your Thomas born to Nicol Flett and Margaret Dunnet . There seems to be 2 birth dates for him in June and August 1840 You will also probably find any other children they may have had.

Hi just me again. There seems to be 4 children born to Nicol Flett and Margaret Dunnet: John Nicolson 23/5/1847, Margaret 15/6/1843, Thomas Dunnet 30/8/1840 and Thomas Dunnet born 19/9/1852 ( possibly the first Thomas died and they gave  the last baby the same name, quite common in those days)
