Ancestors of Mandy Willard

William TULLETT (1738-1826)

and Catherine PETERS (c1739-1815)

William Tullett and Catherine Peters married by banns on 2 May 1773 in Slaugham, Sussex.  They were both of Slaugham and both made their marks.  The witnesses to their marriage were Richard Harding and Charles Colven who both signed their names.  (They were not my direct ancestors.  William was the brother of my 5x Great Grandfather, John Tullett.)

William Tullett was baptised on 12 March 1737/8 in Slaugham.  He was the son of Peter Tullet (c1700-1749) and Elizabeth Gratwick (c1705-1786).  He died aged 92 years and was buried on 5 March 1826 in Cuckfield, Sussex.  On 25 May 1762 he was a witness to the marriage of John Stone and Mary Ellsey.

Catherine Peters was born about 1739.  She died aged 76 years and was buried on 16 August 1815 in Cuckfield.  The burial register recorded that she was the wife of William Tulet a labourer of Cut Hedges in Cuckfield.

William Tullett and Catherine Peters had 6 known children:

1. William Tullett was baptised on 25 September 1773 in Slaugham.

2. Edward Tullett was baptised on 28 July 1776 in Slaugham.  He may have been buried on either 24 March 1775 or 4 November 1781, both in Slaugham.  The burial register only records that Edward Tullett was buried, and no further details to determine to whom the burial applies.  He did have 2 cousins:  Edward Tullett born 1765 and Edward Tullett born in 1773.  Or he may have been buried on 20 February 1795 in Slaugham, when he was described as Edward Tullett a youngman from the workhouse.
