Title: John BRETT of Bardwell Suffolk
Post by: SPARHAM on Sunday 17 April 16 15:13 BST (UK)
Hi, am looking for details on the above.   John Brett Junior married my 6th Great Aunt (Maternal) in 22nd September1756.  I have no other details about him.  My 6th great aunt is Dille Marata Jeffes, as is my 4 x great grandmother whom I suspect was named after her.  I have no details about  my aunt.  If anyone can supply some info on both of them, I would be so grateful.  I have looked on other sites but to no avail. 

Kind Regards
SPARHAM

looked up Jeffes in Honington :


Thomas Jeffes abode Bardwell  buried 14/7/1818 aged 85 Honington so think this husband of Dillemarata may have gone to live with family in Bardwell after she died but buried with her??


probably your Dille's parents?

Thank you so much for your response.   Dille and John Brett had a daughter, Dille Brett who died a year after her birth.  Once again thank you so much for your time

I noted some earlier Brett baptisms at Bardwell (from c.1720 onwards) but couldn't tie them into Joh Brett Junior (his name suggesting that his father might also be John).
The John Brett I found had parents William and Hanna.
If you want my notes transcribed just let me know, but I'm not sure how much help they'll be  ???
