    1. [SACKETT] TSFA website updated

    3. I have updated The Sackett Family Association website www.sackettfamily.info with the following additions: * India Office records (British Library) * New members 231 Sue Tazey, 232 Michael John Sackett, 233 Pat Williamson My thanks to Jean Carpenter, Kathy James, Alice Sackett, Eva Adams, and Jane Weller, who have sent in pictures. Ancestors' pictures may be viewed at http://sackettfamily.info/ui300.htm and members' pictures at http://sackettfamily.info/ui184.htm. I've also recorded the will provided by Mike Fisher of his ancestor Samuel Sackett (1851-1891). The India Office records raise more questions than they answer - although if anyone can figure out some answers, Peter Sackett would be pleased to know. Thanks also to Wendy Sacket for finding some passenger list data relating to Lyman B Sackett. I have updated the record for Richard Sackett Esq (1717-1789) whose mansion house at East Northdown we saw during the reunion in Thanet last year. This was prompted by the following very odd marriage announcement in the London Morning Star of Friday, July 31, 1789, discovered by a member of the Isle of Thanet List. The Miss Cramp in question was Richard's granddaughter, Sarah, to whom he left most of his considerable fortune. "Yesterday, at St. Peter's Margate, Mr. TOMLIN, jun. of North Down, to Miss CRAMP, with a fortune of, at least, £60,000. Taking their ages together, two-and thirty will be the amount." I've added this unusual item to the Sackett Snippets at bottom right of the Home page. These snippets appear at random each time the web page is loaded, so to see more of them just hit the refresh button repeatedly while viewing the Home page. Regards, Chris Sackett TSFA Webmaster
