This
section contains brief details
of
other families connected to the Collett family tree
Updated February 2009
The majority of the data is this
section has been unearthed and very kindly supplied by Tom Collett (Ref. 1Q20) from Cinderford in
the Forest of Dean. Tom worked with me over
many years gathering details for Part One.
The following information was noted by Tom during numerous visits to the
Records Office in Gloucester while carrying out research into his wife’s family
line.
The source of the much of the Cowling
family information was the document entitled ‘Buildings and Monuments of
Gloucestershire’ compiled by Ralph Bigland in 1790.
The details regarding the Watts, Pitt,
Gardiner and Rogers families has been gathered over many years of corresponding
with
The earlier Watts family information
was obtained from Gloucestershire Family History Society via Dorothy (Ref. 1O84) and Ron Ellis of
Selby in Yorkshire.

Walter Cowling was sworn in as Church Registrar of
the Parish of Kempsford on 16.02.1653.
It is likely that Walter was the father of Leonard Cowling (listed
below) who took over the role two years later. Another indication that this may be true is
in the name of Leonard’s eldest son who carried the same name as his father. |

THE KING
FAMILY OF EASTCOMBE IN THE PARISH OF BISLEY

|

|
|
|

|
|
As
early as 1608 there were members of the King family living at Bisley in
Gloucestershire. In the book “Men
& Armour in Gloucestershire in 1608” a John Kinge of Bysley was listed as
a labourer. Another, William Kinge
husbandman suitable for musket, was listed as living close by at Miserden. |

More
research is required to bridge this generation gap. It is likely that a later child of the
marriage of John and Ann King (above) born around 1730 could be the father of
William King (below). It is equally
possible that there could be two generations missing; a son born around 1712
who subsequently married say around 1734 and whose own son born a few years
after the marriage could be the father of William King (below). |

Eastcombe in the Parish of Bisley, Elijah was aged 63 years a pauper and hand
loom weaver, while Maria was 62 years of age. |

|
|
Harriett’s
mother was Betty Young who was born at Minchinhampton in 1784 and who,
according to the Census of 1851, was a 67 year old pauper and a hand loom
weaver. Living with Betty at Eastcombe
at that time was her son-in-law Levi King of no specified occupation, his
wife Harriett age 26 and their daughter Elizabeth aged 2 years. |
|||||
|
|
|
|||||
|
|
Further
children were born of the marriage, all of whom were baptised together on the
same day on 29.08.1862. They were Rose
Anna aged 12, Mary Ann aged 6, Louisa aged 3 and Martha Ann aged 1½
years. Levi King was listed as a
boatman on that occasion. |
|||||
|
|
|
|||||
|
|
By
the time of the 1871 Census for Bisley, Harriett was the head of the family
and her occupation was that of a rag sorter as were four of her five
daughters that were still listed as living with her. They were: Elizabeth King 22, Rose Anna
King 20, Mary Ann King 15, Louisa King 12, and Martha King 10 a scholar. All were listed as being born at Bisley,
although we now know this to be Eastcombe in the parish of Bisley. |
|||||
|
|
|
|||||
|
|
Levi
King was not mentioned in the listing and it could be assumed that he may
have died by that time. However,
Harriett was not listed as a widow but just as head of the family, so maybe
Levi was working away from home at the time of the census, perhaps even on a
boat somewhere. What is likely is that
he had died by 1878 as he was not a witness at his daughter Rose Anna’s
wedding that year. |

22.01.1719. He was a tailor and
married Mary with whom he is known to have had two children. Both Robert and Mary took part in a joint
adult baptism at Naunton in 1737 which may have coincided with their getting
married. |

Stiles and was baptised at Naunton on 08.01.1746. It seems very likely that all of their
children were born at Naunton. |

William Rowland was born around 1763 and he married
(1) Mary Hobro on 23.02.1785 at Guiting Power. Mary, whose name was sometime written as
Hewberough, was the daughter of George Hobro and was baptised at Stanway on
03.06.1764. Just like his father,
William was also subject to an adult baptism.
This took place at the Naunton Baptist Chapel on 11.07.1800. |

It
is known that at the time of the birth of the couple’s only child in 1804
William and Mary were living at Lower Slaughter. |

On
14.12.1813 William married (2) Sarah Jane Collett (Ref. 33M5) at Bourton-on-the Water for
which she had the consent of her father William Collett even though she was 43
years of age at the time. Sarah was mostly referred to
as Jane and the witnesses at her wedding were her parents William and
Hannah Collett. |

in 1818 William and Jane were living in the family home at Lower

John Rowland was probably born at Naunton around
1772. Like many members of his family
he too was subject to an adult baptism and this took place at the Baptist
Chapel in Naunton on 17.07.1801. |
|||||
|
|
|
|||||
|
|
He
married (1) Mary Cooke on 21.02.1803 at Naunton but the marriage produced no
children for the couple. Their wedding
was witnessed by John’s sister Elizabeth and her betrothed Edward Reynolds. Mary was born around 1763 and died on
19.11.1810 and was buried at Naunton. |

Following
her death John later married (2) Joanna possibly around 1816. Joanna was referred to as Hannah and was
born at Aldsworth around 1790. |

|
|
John
was a farmer and in 1811 he was living at Oxleaze Farm in Sevenhampton where
all of his children were born. By 1836
he was at Coldgate Farm in Charlton Kings and at the time of the 1841 Census John
and Hannah were living at Old Dole Farm in Charlton Kings. And it was at the latter that he made and
signed his Will on 22.09.1848. |

|
|
|

|

He
died over a year later on 07.12.1849 and was buried at Naunton Baptist
Chapel. According to the 1851 Census
John’s widow Hannah was still living at Old Dole Farm in Charlton Kings with
five of her six children. Only
daughter Mary was missing so it might be assumed that she was married and had
left home. |

30.07.1807 at Guiting Power. Hannah
was the daughter of John Stait and it was possibly her brother Thomas Stait

Naunton dated 3rd November 1797 (see Bishop’s Certificate in Legal Documents) |

It was at the house of this Robert Rowland that a group
of protestant dissenters, including Henry Collett (Ref. 2L18) and his family,
met to worship following receipt of the certificate of approval signed by the
Bishop of Gloucester in 1797. During
the following years a chapel was built and completed in 1800 and this was
later replaced in 1850 by the chapel that is still there today |

Robert’s
wife Hannah was born around 1780 at Guiting Power and was the subject of an
adult baptism at Naunton Baptist Chapel on 20.09.1807. |

|
|
|

|
|
According
to the 1841 Census Robert Rowland was a shopkeeper at Naunton with his wife
Hannah and at his death on 11.01.1851 he was referred to as a shopkeeper and
a tailor as were his father and grandfather.
His Will was signed on |

Following
his death and just over two months later, Hannah was listed as being the
‘proprietor of houses’ at Naunton in the 1851 Census. Living with her was her daughter Anna Marie
aged 28 and son-in-law Henry White aged 28 and a grocer of
Shipston-on-Stour. Also listed at the
house with Hannah was her grandson David Lodge aged 5, the son of her
daughter Eliza, and Esther White a 23 years old dressmaker of Shipston-on-Stour
who was presumably the sister of her son-in-law. |

|
|
|

|
|
By
1861 Hannah had moved to Chadlington in Oxfordshire where she was still
listed as being ‘proprietor of houses’
Ten years later in 1871 she was living at Green End in Chadlington and
nearly three years later she died on 18.02.1874, the death being registered
at Winchcombe suggesting that she had moved back to Gloucestershire. |

JOSEPH ROWLAND was born at Naunton where he was
baptised on 06.09.1782. He married (1)
Ann Maisey on 21.02.1803 in a joint ceremony with his brother John Rowland. Ann
Maisey was very likely the daughter of Robert Maisey who was listed in the
Bishop’s Certificate of 1797. See Ref. 10M16 and Ref. 3N8 for other
Maisey family connections. |

|
|
Just
prior to the birth of their first child Joseph was subject to an adult
baptism at the Baptist Chapel in Naunton on 29.09.1805. This was following two years later by the
adult baptism of his wife Ann on 20.09.1807. |
|||||
|
|
|

|
|
It
seems likely that Ann died around the time of the birth of their fourth child
in 1820 as three years later Joseph married (2) Elizabeth Brindle on
19.06.1823 at Bourton-on-the-Water with whom he had another child born at
Naunton. |

What
is of interest is that Joseph’s son William Rowland married Sarah Brindle who
was born in 1811 and who was very likely a niece of Elizabeth Brindle,
Joseph’s wife. |
|||||
|
|
|
|||||
|
|
The
1841 Census for Naunton confirmed that Joseph was a tailor by trade, as had
been his father and his grandfather before him. Joseph died at Naunton on 30.08.1845, his
Will having been signed earlier that same year on 8th April. |

Benjamin Rowland was born at Sevenhampton around
1817. Like his father before him,
Benjamin was initially a farmer at Coldgate and Old Dole Farms in Charlton
Kings but later became a grocer and eventually a butcher. |

In
the 1818 Will of his grandfather William Rowland (Ref. 10K1Rowl) a house was
bequeathed to Benjamin’s father John Rowland (Ref. 10L3Rowl). This property was rented by John Bunce so
it might be logical to assume that there was some dispute surrounding the
removal of John Bunce from the property which resulted in the wounding. |
|||||
|
|
|

|
|
In
1851 Benjamin was still single and living with his widowed mother at Old Dole
Farm in Charlton Kings. It is
therefore assumed that he later married Annie (Tarry?) who was born at
Creaton in Northamptonshire in 1826, their first child being born at Charlton
Kings. |

brother Benjamin Rowland at bath Road in Cheltenham. |

to him as an agricultural labourer living at Horns Farm. |

The
couple appear to have lived all of their life together at Bourton where their

In

JOHN WATTS was born in July 1751 at Tetbury in

silk clothes and fancy shoes with silver buckles. |

SAMUEL WATTS was born in May 1771 at Horsley
near Nailsworth in Gloucestershire. He
married Judith Osborne on 20.12.1796 at Horsley and they had a son John
Watts. The wealth his father enjoyed
passed to Samuel who was well known for travelling around in a grand
horse-drawn carriage. Unfortunately
for the family, Samuel remarried following the death of Judith and for some
reason son John was cast aside. |

JOHN WATTS was born in 1799 at Minchinhampton
in Gloucestershire. He married Mary
Ann Pitt who was twenty years his junior on 08.08.1840 at Dursley in
Gloucestershire. Whilst not
inheriting any of his father’s fortune, he and Mary Ann were given a house in
which to live by a wealthy aunt. Very shortly after getting married John
enlisted in the army and spent long periods away from his family. |
|||||
|
|
|
|||||
|
|
Mary’s
parents were Thomas Pitt, born in 1799, and Sarah Pitt (nee Lee, born in
1798). Tragically, Mary Ann died
giving birth to daughter Eliza Ann in 1850. |
|||||
|
|
|
|||||
|
|
Following
the death John Watts married widow Mrs Mary Burnell or Goodall on
14.10.1851. This lady already had two
daughters, Louisa Stockwell and Ann Goodall. |
|||||
|
|
|
|||||
|
|
It
is believed that her maiden name was Stockwell and that Louisa was born
before the first marriage. This could
prove to be a vital link with the Colletts of Bibury for the following
reason. Stockwell was the maiden name
of the wife of William Collett (Ref. 2N1) Hannah who was born and lived in
Bibury in 1800. And it was William
Collett’s son William (Ref. 2O6) who married John Watts’ daughter Caroline
Ruth Watts (below). |
|||||
|
|
|
|||||
|
|
Immediately
after marrying Mary Goodall, John Watts once again rejoined the army and even
less was seen of him thereafter. He
fought in the Crimean War of 1984 and 1855 during which he received a serious
leg wound which caused him to limp very badly thereafter. |
|||||
|
|
|
|||||
|
|
It
was during one of John’s period of absence that wife Mary evicted from his
house the four children from his previous marriage, once they were old enough
to start work. |

|
|
John
Watts died at Minchinhampton on 15.06.1866 aged 67, less than two months
after disowning daughter Caroline Ruth for marrying William Collett (Ref.
2O6). His wife Mary had died a few
years earlier in 1863. |
|||||
|
|
|

|
|
During
his life he was commonly known locally as ‘Soldier’ John Watts to avoid
confusion with another of the same name living in Minchinhampton. |

Minchinhampton in Gloucestershire. She
married 32 years old William Collett (Ref. 2O6) when she was only seventeen
years of age and against the wishes of her father. However, she ignored her father and ran
away from home to marry William at Coates near Cirencester on
19.04.1866. |

William’s father was
Isaac Tanner Gardiner and his mother Fanny Gardiner nee Twissell.
The aforementioned indicates that the whole of the Gardiner family may
have emigrated to America with Eliza Ann and Joseph Henry, perhaps to escape
the ridicule they suffered in Gloucestershire for being members of the Mormon
Church, that and to be near their spiritual home in Salt Lake City. |

All
of the family of Annie and Joseph were heavily involved with, and committed
to the Mormon religion. Almost every
member of the family, including many of their grandchildren, took part in the
two-year missions to other countries to spread the gospel according to the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
For many years Annie was a Relief Society Visiting Teacher, while
Joseph was the Leader of the Ward Choir.
