The Garretts of East Chinnock
The earliest mention of a Garrett in East Chinnock is the 1779 marriage of
Peter Garrett and Alice Reynolds.
The earliest ancestor in our branch is William Garrett born (c)1787 who
married Mary Corbin in 1813. I have not yet been able to confirm that
William is a son of Peter and Alice although his birth date would fit with
others in their family. William and Mary's children were;
(all births in this list were in East Chinnock unless otherwise stated)
Charles Garrett born 23 August 1813 married Maria Adams.
Their children were;
Charles Garrett born 21 August 1840, baptised 3 September 1840.

* The two Garrett sisters married Gray brothers who migrated to Australia
in 1873 on the "Storm King". They went farming and settled near each other at
Ipswith (near Brisbane) in Queensland.
Another of the Gray brothers, Joseph, went to New Zealand with Robert
