COMPLETED Gullett Willie marriage South Australia c1850-1852

[regross]

I am hoping somekind person may be able to find a marriage for William Willie mariner and Sarah Gullett in South Australia ain the early 1850's.

Sarah's parents were Thomas Gullett and Elizabeth Edgcombe, she was born in Plymouth. William's parents were Joseph Willie and Sarah Shace he was born in Yorkshire.

Williams' death certificate in Viotoria in 1888  age 66, said he had married in Adelaide aged 29 ie c 1822+29= 1851. (certificate held)

To confuse us all he and Sarah also married again in Victoria in 1863!!! certificate held)

They had one child Lucinda Elizabeth or ELizabeth Lucinda  b c 1855 place of birth on her marriage certificate given as Adelaide. ( certificate held)

Hi Robyn,

I have had no luck finding a marriage for Sarah in SA but found this birth with the mother Sarah Gullett.

Surname-WELTERN
 Names- Elizabett Lucinda
Date- 1853-08-11
Father-George WELTERN
Mother-Sarah GULLETT
Birth Place/Residence- Adelaide
District Code- Ade
Book- 4 Page/ 196
 
I am not sure that it is of any help as it possibly raises more questions than it answers.

Thankyou both for your time

The Sarah  Edgcombe Gullett and Thomas Dunn family is another Line. Sarah Edgcome Gullet's father Thomas was borther of the other Sarah Gullett.

I am sure that the birth for Elizabett Lucinda Weltern would be correct, the two forenames are spot on. She would definitely have been Sarah's child.

Is there a Sarah Weltern /William Willie marriage?? or a Gullett/Weltern marriage?

We have had many years trying to sort out where Sarah Willie daughter of William and Sarah Gullett came from. In the Victorian 1863 certificate she is listed as a spinster!!!!

Hi Robyn,

Sorry I have not found any Sarah Gullett/Welton/ Willie marriages 1842-1916.

 I also searched with just the brides father name being GUL*T and only came up with one marriage in 1912 for a Beatrice Gullettt - father John.

Looks like Sarah didn't marry George Welton  in SA so maybe she was a spinster when marrying William Willie in Vic.

It has been a long story.

The Gulletts are well researched with branches going to USA, Canada, South Africa and Australia.

Several families came to Australia.
Children of  Thomas Gullett 1802 and Elizabeth Edgcomb

Thomas George Edgcombe Gullett  1826 and his wife Ann Corkill father of Sarah Edgcomb Gullett who married Thomas Dunn.
and
Sarah Gullett b 1835 (mWelton/Willie)

Children of Thomas Gullett and Agnes Pearse:(also parents of Thomas Gullett  1802)

Edmund Gullett 1808 & Ann Wannell
Henry Gullett b 1810 and his wife Isabella Keats and their family including son Henry Gullett b 1837 who married Elizabett Lucinda Willie, a cousin.

On her 1863 Victorian marriage certificate to William Willie aged 35 Sarah Gullett b 1835 gives her parents and Thomas Gullett and Elizabeth Edgombe. Age given as 29

On William Willie's 1888 Victorian death certificate his wife is listed as Sarah Gullett married aged 29 in Adelaide . Child Lucinda aged 33.

On Elizabett Lucinda Willie's 1872 Victorian  marriage certificate to Henry Gullett her parents are given as William Willie and Sarah Gullett. age given was 19. est Dob 1851/1853. This agrees with the Weltern registration.

I have not been able to find Sarah Gullett/Willie/Weltern death in either Victoria or NSW.

I have documentary evidence of her living in the Romsey/ Lancefield are in Victoria in 1896. After that I have no further trace of her.


Now you have all the details.

thanks  very  much for that detailed analysis, how very  unfortunate  to  have Lucinda Willie  marry  another Gullett, thus confusing  the  issue further.

I  guess the  same thoughts  no  doubt have entered  you  mind  that  they were never married  in  South Australia  and  that William  Willie  "adopted" for want of a better word  Elizabeth Lucinda as  his  own  child and  to save  any  embarrassment told  a  little fib on  their marriage  certifcate.
