Ancestors of Mandy Willard

Walter TULLETT (1836-1915)

and Emily GOACHER (1839-?)

Walter Tullett and Emily Goacher married by banns on 10 January 1863 at the parish church of St. George in West Grinstead, Sussex.  He was then a 26 year old bachelor and labourer, whilst Emily was a 24 year old spinster and servant.  The witnesses to the marriage were Allen Rapley and Ellen Rapley (Walter's sister and brother-in-law).  (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.)

Walter Tewlett was baptised on 23 May 1836 in West Grinstead.  He was the son of William Tulet (1799-1878) and Charlotte Woodman (c1802-1886).  He died in the second quarter of 1915 in the Horsham registration district and his name was then recorded as Walter Tullett.

Emily Goacher was baptised on 27 June 1839 in Ashurst, Sussex.  She was the daughter of Henry Goacher (1797-1870) and Martha Mears (1806-1861).

The 1871 census records that the family were living at Pot Haines House in West Grinstead and Walter Tulett was a farm labourer.  When the 1881 census was recorded the family were living at Bines Green, Martins Land, Ashurst and Walter Tullett was an agricultural labourer.  In 1891 they were living at Crouchers in West Grinstead and Walter Tullett was an agricultural labourer.  The couple and their son Harry were still living at Crouches the time of the 1901 census and Walter Tullett was then a labourer.

Walter Tullett and Emily Goacher had 8 known children:

1. Emily Tullett was baptised on 31 May 1863 in West Grinstead.  She was an 8 year old scholar in 1871.  In 1881 she was a 17 year old cook/domestic servant in the home of William Powell Breach at Newham House, White Horse Lane, Steyning, Sussex.  She married Philip Warner in about 1887.

2. Walter Tullett was baptised on 29 July 1864 in West Grinstead.  He died in 1940.  In 1871 he was a 6 year old scholar.  When the 1881 census was recorded he was a 16 year old grocer's assistant living in the home of his Uncle Allen Rapley.  By 1901 he may have still have been a grocer's assistant living in Lambeth, London along with wife Elizabeth and 6 month old son, also named Walter.  As Walter Tulett he married Louisa Hill in the first quarter of 1907 in the Newington registration district.

3. Lucy Tullett was baptised on 28 July 1867 in West Grinstead.  She was 4 years old in 1871.  At the time of the 1881 census she was a 13 year old general servant in the home of Edward Ryder at 92 St. Stephens Avenue in London.  In 1891 she was said to be an unmarried 25 year old general servant in the home of Lional Richard Goodson and his wife at 2 Mirvan Road in Lambeth (I think that's address).  She married George Robert McCartney in about 1901 in Berkshire.

4. William Tullett was baptised on 31 October 1869 in West Grinstead and buried there on 17 April 1870, aged 7 months.

5. Charlotte Martha Tullett was baptised on 26 February 1871 in West Grinstead.  The 1871 census records that she was 2 years old, but should probably read 2 months.  She was a 10 year old scholar in 1881 and the eldest of her siblings living at home.  She married Arthur Coe on 2 October 1905 in Battersea.

6. Alfred Tullett was baptised on 28 September 1873 in West Grinstead.  He was a 7 year old scholar in 1881.  In 1891 he was a 17 year old agricultural labourer living at home with his parents and younger brother.

7. Harry Tullett was baptised on 31 October 1875 in West Grinstead.  He died in 1964.  He was a 5 year old scholar in 1881.  When the 1901 census was recorded he was a 24 year old labourer living at home with his parents.  Harry married Emily Geal in November 1904 in Partridge Green, Sussex.

8. Robert Tullett was baptised on 5 January 1879 in West Grinstead.  He was 2 years old when the 1881 census was recorded.  In 1891 he was a 12 year old scholar.  He married Jessie Howick in 1903 in Brighton.
