1841 look up for Hereford, please

[Nick B]

I'm looking for Gallet or Gallett in Hereford in 1841, in particular:

Barnaby, died 1843 Hereford
his wife Ann (Taylor) they married 13 Nov 1833 at Lydney, Gloucester
daughter Elizabeth christened 14.June 1835 at St Peter, Hereford

This is the only info I have, all from the IGI index

Thanks

Nick

Hello Nick,

I've had to do a bit of detective work on this one.       I've found Barnaby in 1841, but no Ann or Elizabeth with him I'm afraid -

1841

Pockin Lane, St. Peters, Hereford

Barnaby Gallett   44    Innkeeper      born in county - yes
Elizabeth Lister     45    Independent          no
John Whitney       24    M.S.                     yes
Elizabeth Maklin    28    F.S.                      yes

          (HO107/ 433/ 7/ ?/ p34)

Have checked the whole of St. Peters and there are no other Gallet's at all.  I have a name index to the 1851 census so ran a check on the name Gallett (in the hope that it may reveal where Ann and Elizabeth are in 1841).  There were 2 results -

1851

Brook House, Tarrington

Elizabeth Gallett    76    Head    Wid    Retired Farmer     Worcestershire, Tallerby?
Hannah Nott          64    Visitor   Wid                                     ''                   ''

          (HO107/ 1975/ 345/ p10)

Lays, Tarrington

John Taylor       59    Head       Mar    Farming Bailiff          Tarrington, Herefordshire
Mary Taylor       65    Wife        Mar                                Ashperton            ''
John Taylor       16    Nephew   Un                                        ''                   ''
Ann Gallett        58    Visitor     Wid     Annuitant                 Tarrington              ''
Ann Spencer     17    Serv        Un      Dairy Maid                    ''                   ''
Elizth Mercer     14    Serv        Un      House Serv                  ''                   ''
Thomas Davis    24    Serv        Un      Waggoner               Mordiford             ''
John Phillips      15     Serv        Un     Waggoners boy        Worcester
Charles Adams   13    Serv        Un         ''             ''         Tarrington, Herefordshire

          (HO107/ 1975/ 346/ p13)

Working backwards I checked to see if the Ann Gallett listed above was with the same family in 1841, they are still there, but she is not.  Elizabeth Gallett is also still there (with husband), I'll list this as it is a good probability they may be Barnaby's parents.   

1841

Brook House, Tarrington

John Gallett         50    Farmer    born in county - yes
Elizabeth Gallett   60                            yes

          (HO107/ 425/ 13/ 7/ p7)

As there is no index for Herefordshire in 1841 (yet!!)  I can't identify where Ann & Elizabeth might be, but if I come across them in the future I'll let you know.   

All the best
Sue

Hello again Nick,

I can't help wondering if the Ann Gallett listed (above) in Tarrington in 1851, is yours, where Elizabeth might be?  So I checked the GRO death index and found -

1841 - Death - GALLETT, ELIZABETH
     Volume - 26    Page - 131
     Quarter - March
     District - Hereford

The 1841 cenus was taken on the night of 6th June, so if it is your Elizabeth it perhaps explains why she cannot be found on later censuses.  Still doesn't explain where Ann might be in 1841       

Also found this entry -

1857 - Death - GALLETT, ANN
     Volume - 6a    Page - 244
     Quarter - Sept
     District - Ledbury

Tarrington comes under Ledbury registration district.  Also found the entry for Barnaby - but I guess you have that.

Hope this has helped.  If there is any other way I can help, please don't hesitate to ask.   

Regards
Sue

Dear Sue

Thanks very much for this. It's given me plenty to think about, although no definite answers! John & Elizabeth of Brook House probably weren't old enough to be Barnaby's parents? However, Ann, visiting the Taylor family at Lays Farm in 1851 could be Barnaby's widow Ann (nee Taylor).

I would like to find out where Ann and Elizabeth were in 1841, though!

There were Galletts at Tarrington from the mid-1500's, and I have plenty of loose ends to follow-up; anything further will be much appreciated.

Thanks again for your help

regards

Nick

Hi Alli

Thanks very much for this - every little bit helps! It doesn't help that it's very easy for Gallet/t to be mis-transcribed, it's often difficult to distinguish between 'a' and 'u' on the census so they are frequently mixed up, especially with 'Gullett'. I'll keep plugging away...

Kind regards

Nick
