Hi folks, Just chasing up some of the folk with Tetley as a middle name, I followed up Tetley Jowett. He was the son of John Jowett and Betty Tetley, who were married 25 Dec 1816 in Bradford. Tetley Jowett was baptised 29 Aug 1824 at Thornton by Bradford. Also baptised on the same day, to John & Betty Jowett, was Harriet Jowett baptised 29 Aug 1824. Either Harriet & Tetley were twins, or their ages at baptism might be misleading! Then a Joseph Jowett was baptised on 28 Aug 1825. Tetley Jowett married Q2 of 1852. This is the 1881 census entry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dwelling: 4 Spring Field Census Place: Thornton In Bradford, York, England Source: FHL Film 1342069 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 4468 Folio 23 Page 10 Marr Age Sex Birthplace Tettily JOWITT M 58 M Thornton, York, England Rel: Head Occ: Mason Mary JOWITT M 56 F Silsden, York, England Rel: Wife Occ: Linen Draper Sarrah Ellen JOWITT U 27 F Silsden, York, England Rel: Daur Occ: Assistant Draper ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tetley Jowett's age of 58 indicates that he might have been up to 2 years old at the time of baptism. There is a marriage in Freebmd, which indicates that Tetley Jowett's wife was probably Mary Barran. Interestingly, the 1881 census indicates how Tetley Jowett may have pronounced his christian name when the enumerator called!.... Tettily. He also seems to have pronounced Jowett as Jowitt!
