Hi Sherrie, Susan & Graham, many thanks for the Gillett information. 'My' Thomas' parents listed on the marriage cert dated 13/10/1879 are John Gillett and Jane Demick/Dermick, can't quite make it out (I suspect the John could well have been used instead of James - yes?) Now it seems from Susan's info, 'my' Thomas was the grandson of Jacob and Caroline, not a nephew. Help!! - I am having a very challenging day, so I may well be mis-understanding much of the detail. Graham, it looks like our families are not connected - yet! I do appreciate your offer to exchange info. Look forward to the next chapter on this elusive man in our family. He must have been a good chap really. He had eight children from his first marriage and when his wife died, there were five living, the youngest 18. then he took on two youngsters eight years and two years - (I'd have run for my life..........). thanks dorothy ~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello Sherrie, Graham & Dorothy, Thank you all for your additional info re: GILLET's from Lara/Geelong region. Graham, I cannot see any connection between your GILLETS and mine at this stage, however they did all emanate from Somersetshire, so you just never know if we can take the line back another generation or so. Dorothy, it looks like our GILLET trees do connect now - I just hadn't taken the line back far enough to make the link. Thanks Sherrie for doing that for us! Sherrie, yes I now do have 10 children for Jacob & Caroline GILLET. If by chance you have researched the descendants of James Thomas GILLETT (1873-1963 son of Jacob & Caroline) and Jane COE, then I would be particularly interested in that line. Am happy to send Sherrie & Dorothy what I have to date. Will contact off list to exchange info.

Could I please ask for help re the look-up of film of a passenger list for the following if someone has time when at the PRO or facility which holds these films. I have already seen the fiche listed below but was hoping there may be further information on the films as suggested by listers. Unassisted Immigration into Victoria 1852-1923 STEWART ALEXR A JUN 1869 THE DOUGLAS B 283 005 Thank you for any help. Joan

Hi Dorothy & Susan, I researched your Gillet family some years ago, when I helped a work colleague with her family tree. :) Yes they are related. :) Thomas is Jacob's Uncle. Jacob William GILLET's parents were 'William GILLETT & Elizabeth PESTER' Willliam's parents are also 'John GILLETT & Mary AUSTIN'. John & Mary GILLETT arrived on the 'Oliver Lang' in 1855 with 4 children that I know of. There was also another brother to Jacob & Thomas, James c.1803 died 1876 Victoria. Susan - I have Jacob & Caroline having 10 children?

Susan &/or Dorothy My sister married into a South Australian family of GILLETT, the immigrant being George Benjamin GILLETT, born 1825 at Ilchester, Somerset. He died in 1891, near Burra, SA. His parents were Charles GILLETT and Judith BENDLE. I have almost the full line if he proves to be related and you are interested. Cheers gm

Hi Susan I've just received some information about 'my' Thomas Gillett - this researching sure take time doesn't it! and is especially difficult when two wives have the same first name !! Thomas Gillett, b: 1822, Drayton, Somersetshire, England. Left Plymouth 10th March 1855 aboard "Ravenscraig" - arrived at Point Henry 24th June 1855. He was literate, Anglican and with him was a wife Elizabeth (nee Palmer), two stepchildren and two infants. They then had three more children. This Elizabeth died in 1877. He then married 'my' Elizabeth Jane Pittard (nee Ballantyne) on 13th October 1879 in the Wesleyean Parsonage, Geelong. She was a widow with two small children. They did not have any children. He died in 1822 - I have yet to obtain this death cert. Now, is he related to 'your' Gillett/s? look forward to your comments. regards dorothy ~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of SusanThompson Sent: Tuesday, 15 May 2007 9:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GEELONG] Thomas Gillett Hi Dorothy, I am connected by marriage to two GILLETT brothers from the Lara/Geelong area, who married two sisters - my GG-aunts.

Irene, Morres St Ballarat East/Brown hill still exists. I used www.whereis.com and did a search. carngham also appears on the map just outside ballarat. You could also try the ballarat family history group. http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/ They may be able to help on what records exist for that area. Linda
