Ancestors of Mandy Willard

William TULET (1799-1878)

and Charlotte WOODMAN (c1802-1886)

William Tullett and Charlotte Woodman married by banns on 12 October 1824 at the parish church of St. George in West Grinstead, Sussex.  He was then of West Grinstead and she of Horsham, Sussex.  The witnesses to the marriage were William Patching and Edward Freeman.  (Edward was most probably a church warden as he witnessed several marriages at that time.)  (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.)

William Tulet was baptised on 22 September 1799 at the parish church of St. James in Ashurst, Sussex.  He was the son of John Tullett (1775-1843) and Rachel Tullett (1779-1860).  William died aged 78 years and was buried on 20 January 1878 in Ashurst.  He was a labourer.

Charlotte Woodman was born about 1802 in Horsham.  She was the daughter of John Woodman and Charlotte.  Charlotte died aged 84 years and was buried on 2 January 1887.

When the 1841 census was recorded the family were living in West Grinstead, at what looks like ---ting Wick, and William was an agricultural labourer.

William Tullett and Charlotte Woodman had 7 known children:

1. William Tulett was baptised on 29 May 1825 in Shipley, Sussex.  (He was not the William Tulett who married Lucy Laker in 1845.)  He died aged 73 years and his death was registered in the third quarter of 1898 in the Brighton registration district.  When the 1851 census was recorded he was lodging at 69 Pimlico, Brighton, the home of Richard Tullett and his wife and children.

   William married Rosina Reeves in the third quarter of 1854 in the Brighton registration district.

   Rosina was born about 1832 in Brighton.  The 1861 census records her name as Rosana.

   When the 1861 census was recorded the family were living at 37 Essex Place, Brighton and William was a bricklayer's labourer.  The 1871 census records that the couple and their 6 children were living at 18 Islingwood Place in Brighton and William was a labourer.  In 1881 the couple and their 5 children were living at 50 Scotland Street, Brighton and William was a bricklayer's labourer.  When the 1891 census was recorded 65 year old William and 59 year old Rosina, who was born in Brighton, were living at 58 Wichelo Place in Brighton, along with William's unmarried 53 year old brother, Alfred Tullett.  The brothers both then gave their place of birth as West Grinstead.  William was then earning his living as a general labourer, whilst Alfred was a carpenter.
