Ancestors of Mandy Willard

James TULETT (1810-1890)

and Elizabeth MOORE (1819-1854)

James Tulett and Elizabeth Moore married on 5 November 1837 in Cowfold, Sussex.  James was then a 23 year old bachelor and labourer of North Church and Elizabeth a 19 year old spinster of Brook.  Their fathers were named as William Tulett and Charles Moore.  The witnesses to their marriage were William Tulett and Mary Moore.  As a widower James married Ellen Moore, widow on 11 June 1864 in Cowfold.  As Eleanor Botting she had married Thomas Moore on 12 September 1842 in Cowfold.  Their father's were named as Charles Moore and William Botting and the witnesses to their marriage were James Tulett and Henry Hill.  (They were not my direct ancestors, but my mother's maiden name was Tullett and so I am interested in all Tullett families, just to make sure I'm on the right track with my own.)

James Tulett was born about 1814-1818 in Slaugham, Sussex.  Might he have been baptised on 23 November 1810 in Slaugham, Sussex and have been the son of William Tulett and Phoebe Hills?  He died aged 80 years at the Cuckfield Union workhouse and was buried on 13 December 1890 in Cuckfield, which fits nicely with the 1810 baptism.

Elizabeth Moore may have been born between 1818 and 1821 in Bolney, Sussex, but no baptism has been found for her at that time in Bolney.  She may have been baptised on 24 October 1819 in Cowfold, Sussex, the daughter of Charles Moore (1769-?) and Jane Steele (1781-1834).  A transcript the Cowfold baptisms records that the Elizabeth baptised in 1819 was the daughter of Charles and Mary.  Her father was a labourer at the time of her baptism.  She died aged 33 years and was buried on 3 September 1854 in Cowfold.

Ellen was probably baptised as Eleanor Botting on 27 December 1818 in Cowfold, the daughter of William Botting and Hannah Billings.  She may have died aged 62 years in West Grinstead and have been buried as Ellen Tullett in Cowfold on 18 September 1885.  Eleanor Tulett was a witness to the marriage of Thomas White and Sarah Foice, widow on 22 December 1866 in Cowfold.

When the 1841 census was recorded James, Elizabeth and their 2 young children were living at Little Brook in Cowfold and James was a farm labourer.  In 1851 James was a 33 year old servant/gardener living at Averys House in Cowfold, whilst 31 year old Elizabeth and their 5 children were living at Pound House in Cowfold.  The 1861 census records that 46 year old James was still a gardener and he was living at Pound House, Cowfold along with his 5 children.  In 1871, James aged 57, Ellen aged 51 and son Alfred were living in Henfield Road, Cowfold and James was a gardener.  By 1881, 66 year old James was a farm bailiff living at Ivories in West Grinstead along with his 55 year old wife Ellen and son-in-law George Moore who was an unmarried 27 year old agricultural labourer who had been born in Cowfold.
