RICHARD GARRETT family from Southwark, London
« on: Saturday 23 April 11 22:05 BST (UK) »
I'm from America but my great-grandfather came from the Southwark section of London. George James Garrett was the son of Richard and Elizabeth (Maher) Garrett 200 High Street...and of 15 Ewer Street(at George's birth on 23 June 1867).
I have copies of letters from my great-grandfather's siblings: Dick, Bob, Tom, as well as Alice, Lizzie and Sarah.
His mother, Elizabeth Maher Garrett died on 13 December in 1887.
The last letter I have was dated 1890, the year my ancestor married Emma Andersdotter in America.
 I don't know if there is family who wonders what happened to our branch. I was hoping to know more of what happened to the family since...

Hi

It looks like children of Richard and Elizabeth were Baptised... do you have details of this??  If not I would be happy to provide them for you.

Also, do you have marriage details for the siblings of George James??

Cheers

thank you. I don't have dates, et cetera. I'll give you the names as I have and approximate dates of birth. I was just wondering where Richard and Elizabeth were buried. Would love to enter a profile of them on findagrave...

RICHARD GARRETT c. 1835
ELIZABETH MAHER c. 1839-13 dec 1887

RICHARD J GARRETT 1866
SARAH GARRETT 1877
ALICE GARRETT 1880
THOMAS GARRETT 1869
ROBERT GARRETT 1865 ?
ELIZABETH GARRETT 1871
GEORGE JAMES GARRETT 23 June 1867-Dec 6, 1848
ZACHARIAH GARRETT 1873
FREDERICK GARRETT 1875
BEATRICE GARRETT 1881

I found some of these last names(last three) on a census record for 1881. They obviously must have passed away. I assume anyway, because they are not mentioned in the letters...The picture I put up is of my great-grandfather and the first 3 children and his wife Emma...

Thanks for the information. I guess it doesn't have their birth dates. I know we go by Shakespears baptism records...
