I am trying to establish the relationship between Lt Edward Hackett RN born 1/12/1793 Walesby who died 1853 age 60 at Reading Berks. His wife was Mary Ann and his children- Edward born 1835, Francis 1844.
With my Gr Gr Gr Grandfather Paul Hackett. From Parish records- When his son Richard was baptised 27/4/1823 their abode was Tealby. (2 miles from Walesby) His Wife Ann ms Child and His Children were Fanny born 1821, Paul born 1823, Catharine born 1828, Maria 1830. In 1841 Census the family was at Walesby with Father Paul absent. From the NBI3rd edition a Burial recorded 14 Jan 1832 Paul Hackett 48 Lincolnshire Walesby, St Mary & All Saints. Likely him- Therefore born 1784.
My Uncle Edward now deceased was certain he was named after Lt Edward Hackett and gave me Lt Edwards Obituary and a vague family tree. The problem was that my Uncle Edward,s Father Vanished in 1929 due to insolvency when Uncle Edward was 14 so his knowledge not surprisingly was vague.
It is clear to me that they were Brothers but can anyone help me confirm or resolve it.
I hope that all makes sense. Thanks Jon
