Hi there,
Through unearthing several cousins here, on Genes reunited and on Ancestry, I know a LOT more about the Pitt family now than I did when I originally posted.  My relationship with the Pitts is that my mother's mother's mother was Amy Isobel PITT, daughter of Walter Charles PITT and Amy Earwaker. 

It appears that there are a number of mysteries associated with this family.  None of the family gave their right ages to the census in 1891, neither adult nor children - I have no idea why.  I have been contacted recently by someone who tells me that despite the fact that Amy Earwaker married Frederick Keith in 1911 as a widow, her husband Walter Charles was still alive and living with the daughter of a colleague - and may have had an entirely separate family with her. He didn't actually die until the 1930s.  I don't know whether his first wife was aware of this or thought he was dead.

Amy Earwaker, latterly PITT, latterly KEITH, went to Jersey to live with one of her daughters (who had married a Gascoigne) and family and was still alive until 1953.  Despite this, my mother had no idea her great grandmother was still alive, and never met her.

One of Walter Charles PITT's cousins, Percy Pitt also disappeared and then surfaced again years later, and used a number of aliases. 

Esther or Hester Pitt died tragically from blood loss at a young age and leaving a young family.  I have details of her marriage and children, although one of these seems to vanish, never to appear on a census again. 

Charles Pitt, uncle of my Walter Charles and brother of Hester and Wiliam Henry, married twice.  I have a lot of detail for all of them.  I am not currently at home and able to look up my charts, but if anyone wishes to have this information, please send me a private message on this forum, incuding an email, and I will sort out the information later this week when I return home.

Hullo Troods, I have a full write up from official Australian records on Richard Pitt born 1765 d 1826 married to Jane Tanner. I can scan and send to you if you like. He was a man of good repute and became Chief Constable of Hobart. He was actually one of the founding fathers of Hobart Tasmania and his house still stands I also have a photo of the house as well as a wrie up on it too. Jane never came to Australia and stayed in Devon with one child. One daughter and two sons accompanied Richard to Australia.

re Roger Pitt from Tiverton. My Samuel (from Tiverton) had a brother Roger who I have not traced yet but Charles is a family name. Both another brother and his son (my great great grandfather ) were called Charles. My Samuel joined the 4th Foot and his regiment was set to Oz in 1831. His wife Ann, children Roger, Charles and Mary Ann followed in 1837 and settled here when he took is discharge.
They left behind a dead child Samuel and another boy John who I cannot trace but did not come to Oz.
details of Charles and his family can be found on our family cemetery website foga.org.au which celebrates it 150 years this year. I can be also contacted via curator on the website.
