The TULLETT Family of Sussex
|
My Tullett Ancestors
Catherine was the daughter of William Tulet (1795-1877) and Mary Knowles (1797-1860). William was mainly a labourer, but at one point he was a tanner in Cuckfield. William's parents were James Tulet (1764-1841) and Sarah French (1765-1840). James was born in Slaugham, Sussex and at the time of his marriage in 1787 in Cuckfield, he was said to be of Ardingly, Sussex. Sarah was born in Patcham, Sussex although her father may have had Cuckfield roots. James's parents were John Tullet (1734-1809) and Elizabeth Michell (c1735-1815). John was born in Slaugham and Elizabeth probably born in Cuckfield. They raised their family in Slaugham. John was the son of Peter Tullet (c1700-1749) and Elizabeth Gratwick (c1705-1786). The Gratwick's were a fairly wealthy and influential family in the Cowfold area in the 16th Century, but I don't know if Elizabeth was connected in anyway. Peter may have been the son of Edward Tulet and Martha Mitchell who married in 1691 in Ifield, Sussex. Or he may have been baptised in Horsham, Sussex in 1704 and have been the son of Peter Toolet and Mary Locket. The spelling of the surname has many variations and it wasn't until my Grandfather's time that the spelling became consistent in our family. I believe the surname is of French origin and that one of the first to arrive was Edward Tullett, a Gall, who married Mary Senty in 1567 in Newdigate, Surrey. They had children baptised in Horsham, Worth and Newdigate. Edward most probably worked in the Wealden Iron Industry. One of their sons, Peter Tullett was mentioned in the 1609 will of Edmond Chalner and the Chalner family (and varients) were Iron Founders.

Other Tullett ResearchersDavid FysonDavid Fyson's mother was Lucy Eliza Tullett (1896-1974) and she married William Fyson in 1920. David and I share Peter Tullet (c1700-1749) and Elizabeth Gratwick (c1705-1786) as common ancestors. Edward Tullett (1736-1803) was born and married in Slaugham, Sussex, but he and his wife Elizabeth Whiting (c1740-1793) raised their family in Nuthurst, Sussex. They had 13 children, 1 of whom was known to have died in infancy and at least 4 married. Their eleventh child was James Tullett (1779-1860) who married Mary Carpenter in Ditchiling, Sussex in 1812. James and Mary had at least 3 children, who according to the census were all born in Ditchling, but none were baptised there (1815, 1817 and 1818). Their youngest child was another James Tullett who married Jane Ashdown in 1842 in Ditchling. James and Mary had 10 children. The first was baptised in Keymer, the next 3 in Westmeston and the following 6 in Ditchling. Their eldest son, Henry Tullett (1845-?) married Louisa Maria Moorey in 1867 in Brighton, Sussex. Henry and Louisa's first child was born in Brighton. The next 4 in Ditchling and the final 3 in Lewes, East Chiltington and Plumpton, respectively. Their third son was James Thomas Tullett (1870-?) and he married Charlotte Burtenshaw-Cox in 1891 in Staplefield. James and Charlotte were the parents of 7 children, one of whom was Lucy Eliza Tullett, mother of David Fyson.
