Dear Colin,
Well here we are again. I am annmarie1254 from Ancestry and we tossed this issue about some time ago. Please forgive me for not replying sooner but I have been ill.
Like you I have been searching for Juetts, Jewetts and Jewit/ts recently. When I checked the Baptism records I have found that the Vicar has spelt their names Jewit or Jewitt even tho sometimes Ancestry have mistranscribed it as Jewett. Starting with my 2xgreat grandmother Jemima Gooud 1832 Baptised in Feltham but resident in St Marylebone, who married James Hoare, I then go back to her parents John Gooud 1807, a gardener, and Eliza Juett 1808-1853. Continuing up the Maternal line we have Eliza's parents Joseph Jewitt and Elizabeth,the Baptism clearly states. Eliza was born 6th April and Baptised 11th October 1807 at St Dunstan with St Catherine Feltham , Middlesex.
So, if we accept that Joseph Jewitt/Juett 1771 is the father of Eliza and the husband of Eliza/beth and that, as stated on his second marriage, his father is George then that takes us back a further generation.
As for why Eliza has moved from Feltham to Hanover Square, I think that John Gooud was working as a Gardener in the Market Gardens. It is not altogether remarkable that she got a job in service in London. While John seems to have moved about presumably looking for work, they were resident in Marylebone for Jemima's (eldest daughter) birth.
Hope that this doesn't raise too many problems. By the way what do BTW,A* mean?
All the best Ann-Marie
