Hi everyone,
My great-great-grandfather was George Churchill Jerrett and I am interested in anything you could send me/tell me about the family. Looking forward to meeting some more relatives!

Hi Alison
Great to hear from you and welcome to rootschat from me too 
My husband's 2xg grandfather Robert Jerrett b 1815 in Sandford, Devon (a Master Mariner) was the youngest brother of George Churchill Jerrett's father James.
George Churchill Jerrett was the son of James Jerrett b1803 in Sandford, Devon (a Master Cooper) and Mary Ann Churchill b1817 in Ottery St Mary, Devon. They were married in Exeter, Devon 31.03.1834. They had four children: George Churchill Jerrett b1835 Exeter, Devon; Wilhelmina Jerrett christened 12.02.1837 Morchard Bishop, Devon, died 1837; Mary Ann Jerrett christened 11.06.1842 Morchard Bishop; and William Henry Jerrett christened 24.06.1844 Morchard Bishop.
George and William emigrated to Newfoundland, but I have no date for this so far. Their mother Mary Ann Churchill died in 1847 and father James married Maria Hamlin b1812 and they had two Children: Keturah Jerrett b1851 Morchard Bishop and James Jerrett b1855 Morchard Bishop (he was a Cooper like his father).
I believe George Churchill Jerrett married twice. Once to possibly to a Charlotte and also to Mary H Nuttal b1833. One of his children was Charles Arthur Jerrett b1866 in Brigus, Newfoundland, but I'm not sure who his mother was - perhaps you can help me there  He was a shipowner. Charles Arthur Jerrett married Anna Antle, and possibly someone else too. Anna died in 1904. They had a son Ernest V Jerrett b1902 and he was an accountant. There were other siblings.
I hope that this has been of some help to you and perhaps you can fill me in on some of the more recent Jerretts I have Jerretts going back to around 1610 and also several branches of more recent Jerretts.
I look forward to hearing from you again.
Joan

Hi JJ
Thanks again
George Churchill Jerrett's father was a cooper and it went back for generations, so quite likely. Also, I suppose carpentry would be a natural progression.
Thankyou for Charlotte Prowse. I had pencilled in the name Charlotte, but knew nothing else about her and I didn't even know if George Churchill Jerrett was married before or after going to Newfoundland. So Charlotte was Charles A Jerrett's mother.
I had George's second wife as Mary H Nuttall, not Miriam, but could have been a misreading of something.

and don't forget that church was built under the supervision of George C. Jerret...1875-1877..so he was very versatile...he was called a "local builder" http://www.heritage.nf.ca/society/rhs/ab_listing/227.html ...and in the 1864/65 directory url I gave you. In this one, in 1871 William becomes the carpenter, and father now runs a store.
( which may account for him being a superviser on the church...guess he's getting on in years)
His and other tenders, as well as little snippets regarding the construction of that church:

Hi there,
Thanks so much for all that info. The Prowse family information that JJ referenced is very reliable - the compiler is a cousin of mine. Charlotte Prowse is correct. The Prowse name was carried on in my line as a given name - William Henry Prowse Jerrett was my great grandfather, his son (my grandfather) was Harold Prowse Jerrett, and his son (my father) is has Prowse in his name as well (much to his chagrin). I'll ask my father about "Miriam." It was someone's name - she went by "Min" I remember my father telling me. So, more to come soon.
I would love to get all the info on the Jerretts back to 1610. That would be fabulous. I can definitely get some info on more recent Jerretts. I'm not sure if I'm permitted to use names and birthdates, etc., on this forum for persons still living. I know my father doesn't care - I have his permission. And I certainly don't care about my information being posted. Please advise what is acceptable and what is not. Be back soon with more answers (and probably questions, too!). ~Alison

I forgot to say that George Churchill was a fine carpenter and craftsman. He did later open a large general store which William Henry also ran. My father tells many a story about the store. After William died, the will was in probate for so long that the children of William "gutted" the place and my great-grandmother got a paltry amount considering how wealthy they were. I believe they also had a funeral home, but don't take that as gospel just yet. I'll ask my father for clarification.
William Henry was married to Frances (Fanny) Louisa Spracklin. The Spracklins moved to the Harbour Grace area in the 1600's sometime. They bought about half of what was John Guy's original colony in Newfoundland. I think her father's name was Michael. Not a Jerrett, but an interesting history on the Spracklin side. More info to come!

Initials only for the forenames of the living, and if anyone wants the full information, you may now send full information on the living by private message...just click on the scroll to the left of the person's information...When using personal message, tho...the reply button is the send button for some reason...but it takes a bit to get used to that...all the best, J.J.

Thanks JJ. I modified my previous posts. Check this out for Jerretts:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=carlprowse&recno=804
That should be helpful. It also indicates there are 2 George Churchill Jerretts, to answer JJ's question. The original and his grandson, the son of Charles Arthur.

Hi JJ
Again, thankyou for some great websites.
Yes, I did have your original information about George Churchill Jerrett and the new church, thankyou, but your new piece is interesting with the actual tenders.
