Hello Art & other listers, Unfortunately I can't be of any help regarding your Sillett family but I am very interested in these houses or anything you might find out about Savage French or Mary Aldworth. I am researching the Perry family of Tipperary & Cork and Savage French was the son of Phoebe Maria Perry of Tipperary and Sampson Towgood Wynne French of Cuskinny, Co. Cork. He died in 1922. Phoebe Maria Perry's gt-nephew married an Aldworth in 1934, also of Cork , and I'll bet this is the same family. Any information you might come across would be greatly appreciated and I'll keep my eyes open for the Sillett family in my future research.
