Hi Bumblebee,
I have just had this post brought to my attention by my son. I was wondering if Bill Garnett was the person your Australian lady was looking for. Bill was my father, so I am intrigued. Regarding the delay of the registration of certificate, there was indeed an inquest into the crash.
All the best
Peter

Welcome to Rootschat, Peter.  I'll get in touch with my friend in Oz and try to confirm whether Bill is connected to her Garnett relations.  I'll be back.  ;D

Hi Peter:  I've now been reminded of why we were looking at William Garnett.  :o  My friend's dentist, when she lived in Halifax, was William Garnett.

She (and I) are related to a Garnett family in Halifax.  I am related via Mary Jane Garnett (born 1842), who married John Milner in 1867.  She is related via Mary Jane's sister, Martha (born 1849), who married John Booth Fawthrop in 1874.  Both girls are the children of John and Maria Garnett, along with a number of other siblings - Frederick, Walter, Henry William, Sarah Ann, William Henry and Emily..

The object was to determine whether there was any connection between William Garnett and our Garnett family.  As yet we have not been successful.

Hi BumbleB, sorry not to have replied to you - and it's so long ago. I was expecting an email to prompt me that there had been a reply from you - didn't realise I had to visit the chatroom.
Anyway - I'm pretty sure my father isn't the Garnett you are looking for - he was from Accrington.
He moved into Halifax in 1966 taking over a dental practice there.
I've looked back through our tree, and in the mid 1800's there does not appera to be a Mary Jane born 1842. Around that period, the Garnett line I am from was around the Bingley/Skipton area.
Have you looked at the Ely Garnett line (from Elland)? They were involved in textiles.
Good luck
Peter

Hi Peter, good to hear from you again.  I haven't gone too deeply into the Garnett family, but I believe that my interest is based on John Garnett, born in Huddersfield and his wife Maria Crabtree who possibly came from Bradford.  Their family was definitely based in Halifax and John was working in the carpet trade, as a Warehouseman.

Gosh - swift reply - and I got an email this time!
Doesn't seem to be the same line though. Any dates for John Garnett? Do you know which mill he worked in?

Sorry, I don't know which Mill John Garnett worked in.

Addresses:

1841 - Carlton Court, Bull Close Lane, Halifax
1851 - 39 Lower Crib Lane, Halifax
1861 - Crib Lane, Halifax
1871 - 52 Crib Lane, Halifax

John died 28 August 1874, aged 67, and is buried at Christ Church, Pellon.  His wife Maria (Crabtree) died 25 January 1888 (aged 75) and is in the same grave.

Could you believe it - my father's Dental Practice was on Bull Close Lane! - Kent House.
Carlton street joins Bull Close Lane just below Kent House.
There were several Mills in that area back in the 1850s
