'Thomas Gillett, b: 1822, Drayton, Somersetshire, England.' snip He died in 1822 - I have yet to obtain this death cert.' As I could not find a death for 1922, I assumed it to be 1882, when Thomas Gillett (son of John Gillett & Mary Austin) died. However I see there is another 'Thomas' death in 1882. Is this your Thomas? Digger - Pioneer Index. Victoria 1836-1888 Surname: GILLETT Given Names: Thomas Event: D Spouse Surname/Father: John Spouse Gvn Names/Mother: Age: 60 Sex: Birth Place: Death Place: GEELONG Year: 1882 Reg Number: 8765 Denomination: Parish: Fiche: This may be your John & Jane's marriage in Somerset... JOHN GILLETT Spouse: JANE DIMOCK Marriage: 05 OCT 1808 - Kingsbury Episcopi, Somerset, England Your Thomas can't be the Grandson of Jacob & Caroline, as they didn't marry until 1870 Victoria. Kind regards, Sherrie.
