Hello Jo,
I have the name Follett from south Petherton in my family tree, Robert Follett married Susan Holland, Holland being my main line. Robert Follett is the son of Robert Follett and Elizabeth Susan Male. If you are still researching this line i may be able to help you, i also have the parish records for south Petherton.
Best regards
Jenny (shimmiebaby)

Hi Jo,
I have several hundred FOLLETTs in my family tree. The vast majority were farmers from Dorset - mainly around the Whitchurch/Netherbury district. I have come across many FOLLETTs from the South Pertherton area but am having difficulty establishing a link between the families. One of my ancestors, a John Follett 1812-1877 married a Susanna Cleall from South Perrott. None of these places are very far apart.
My Gt Grandfather, William Sprake-Follett always maintained that if the name was spelt FOLLETT then we were all related at one point.
I personally believe this is more wishful thinking than fact. Some of my ancestors, including my own Gt, gt, gt, gt, gt, gt, Grandfather, Thomas Follett 1688-1755 was often referred to as Mr FOLLET. In one Census my Gt, gt, gt
Grandfather, Adam FOLLETT 1779-1846 was down as FOLLETE!
I would be more than pleased to hear from you reference any possible links.
Yours: Peter Jon Sprake-Follett

Hi Ciderheadz 1,
Sometime ago now I requested any info on the Follett families of Dorset/Somerset. My own branch I have traced back to Thomas Follett 1688-1755 & Cicely Miller 1692-1745. As far as I know Thomas was born in Whitchurch Canonicorum, Dorset. The couple were also married there on May 12th 1713. These were my Gt, gt, gt, gt, gt, gt Grandparents.
Children: Thomas 1715-1722*, Robert 1714-1716, Mary 1718-?, John 1720-?, Robert 1722-1724, Robert 1726-?, Elizabeth 1729-?
*Thomas 1715-1722 & Ann Hodder 1715-1773 m: Whitchurch Canonicorum Dec 12th 1739. Gt, gt, gt, gt, gt Grandparents. Only 1 child that I know of:
*John Follett 1740-1805 & Mary Taylor. m: Whitchurch C on Jul 24th 1763.
*Adam Follett 1779-1846 & Jane Purchase c1777- 1856.
*Gaius Follett 1813-1865 & Mary Sprake 1813-1872.
*William Sprake-Follett 1849-1932 & Clara Parry 1851-1939.
*Leslie Herbert Sprake-Follett 1880-1972 & Bertha Brown 1892-1975.
*Stanley William Sprake-Follett 1920-2006 & (living relative)(*)
* Direct link.
Any help in finding earlier family members would be greatly appreciated.
Parents and siblings of Thomas Follett (sometimes Follet) 1688-1755 would
be wonderful.
I know there must be a link between the Folletts of Dorset/Somerset and those of Devon.
Yours: Peter Jon Sprake-Follett
