	The second of the five sections of Part 18 – The Main Suffolk Line contains William Collett (Ref 18N33) the base-born son of Hannah Collett (Ref. 18M34). Hannah never married and died in July 1801 when she was only 29, leaving her nine year old son William in the care of his grandfather William Collett (Ref. 18L32). William, whose first wife Hannah Mills had died in 1798, married Mary Girling at Wilby in 1803.
18N17	WILLIAM COLLETT was baptised on 10.09.1792 at Wilby in Suffolk, which is midway between Diss (in Norfolk) and Framlingham. The Parish Register at Wilby (ref. FC88/D1/2) recorded that on Monday 10^th September 1792 ‘Garrod William, base-born son of Hannah Collett, was privately baptised PP’ the PP referring to her pauper status.
	This entry may point to the fact that the father had the surname Garrod which William dropped in favour of Collett, probably after the death of his mother in 1801. William’s baptism was also recorded in the Archdeacon’s Transcript for 1792-93.
	It was as William Collett, a labourer, that he was married by banns to Mary Knights (or Knight according to the IGI) at the church of St Thomas & St Mary in Wortham near Diss on Monday 19^th May 1817 (Parish Register ref. FB131/D1/9). Both were listed as single and ‘of this parish’ and both signed by making a cross. The witnesses were William Driver and Francis Groom.
	It seems likely that Mary was already with-child at the time of the wedding as their first child was born just seven months later. The baptisms of their first four children were recorded in the Wortham Parish Register where there was also an entry on 20.09.1824 (Parish Register ref. FB131/D1/5) for William Collett of Wortham, labourer and Mary Collett nee Knights who were ‘privately baptised’. And perhaps this was to finally supersede William’s original baptism as William Garrod.
	In the first national census of 1841 (ref. HO107/1024 – folio 25v) William and Mary were living at Long Green in Wortham. Living with them were there three oldest children William, John and Philip, all listed as being twenty years old and all unmarried.
	During the next ten years the children were married and had left the family home, and in 1846 William’s wife Mary died was buried in the graveyard of Wortham Church on 10^th September 1846.
	By the time of the census in 1851 (ref. HO107/1795 – folio 334r/16) William Collett was confirmed as being a widower aged 60, who had been born at Wilby, and who was still working as an agricultural labourer. He was living alone at Long Green in Wortham, and living in the house next door was his son John and his family. Also still living in Wortham was his eldest son William with his family.
	Ten years later in 1861 William’s age was curiously recorded as being seventy-three, when he was still living in Wortham. At that time widower William Collett was living at the house of his eldest son William Collett and his wife Ann Pretty at Long Green, Hartismere in Wortham. This may well have been the same house that William (senior) was occupying ten years earlier in 1851.
	Just over three and a half years later William died at Wortham and was buried there with his wife on 14^th December 1864 aged 69.

20O1	William Collett was baptised at Wortham on Sunday 12^th December 1817 (Parish Register ref. FC85/D1/4) and this confirmed that he was the son of William Collett and Mary Knights.
	In June 1841 William was still living in the family home with his parents, but two years later he married Ann Elizabeth Pretty at Wortham during 1843 and it is understood that the couple had fourteen children, all of whom were born at Wortham.
	Ann was born at Horringer in Suffolk in 1823, and the surname Pretty occurs in Part Thirty – The Third Suffolk Line around this same time, so there may be a connection to this line which needs to be resolved – see Ref. 30N1.
	According to the 1851 Census for Wortham (ref. HO107/1795 – folio 333r/10) William of Wortham was thirty-four and was employed as an agricultural labourer. Living with him was his wife Ann from Horringer, just south of Bury St Edmunds, who was twenty-seven, together with their three children, William who was seven, Eliza who was four, and two years old Laura, all three children having been born at Wortham.
	By that time the couple had produced four children, although their second son Philip had died when he was only two weeks old. However, over the next decade more children were born into the family, and the next son was also named Philip.
	Ten years later in 1861 William was 43 and Ann was 37 and they were living at Long Green, Hartismere in Wortham with their extended family. This comprised William 17, Eliza 14, Laura 13, Philip 8, and Emma who was four years old. Also living with them at that time was William’s widowed father William Collett.
	By 1881 the couple had moved over the county boundary into Norfolk and were living at Mount Road, Mount Pleasant in Diss. William was listed as aged 65 and an agricultural labourer. He was also listed as a ‘lunatic’. His wife Ann was listed as being aged 58 and also born at Wortham. Her occupation was that of brush maker, like many other members of the Collett family around that time.
	Living with William and Ann were unmarried daughters (Emma) Alice Collett aged 24 and Jane Collett aged 20, both brush makers like their mother. Also living with them was son Caleb John Collett who was aged 12 and listed as an errand boy (ref. RG11/1966 – folio 68).
	According the census of 1881 there was no Collett living in Wortham in that year. Instead William and Ann had moved to nearby Diss, over the county boundary into Norfolk, by that time in their lives and were living at Mount Pleasant in the town.
	It was during the first few months of 1891 that William Collett died. His widow Ann Elizabeth aged 68, together with son Caleb aged 31, appeared in the 1891 Census as lodgers at 8 Edith Road in Tottenham the home of her daughter Emma Alice Bugg nee Collett and her husband Charles James Bugg.
	There is a chance that the family may have numbered more than the fourteen children listed below. There is a question mark over whether there was a daughter Susanna who was born in 1846. As this has not been positively confirmed to date, there is further explanation under Laura Collett (Ref. 20P4).

20O2	John Collett was baptised at Wortham on Sunday 8^th November 1818 (Parish Register ref. FB131/D1/5), the son of William Collett and Mary Knight. The register also notes that he was privately baptised which means it took place at home, but that he was received into the church on 17.01.1819. This would indicate that he was a poorly baby and unable to go to the church when first born.
	He was living at Wortham with his parents in June 1841 and thirty months after that he married Maria Green at Hartismere during December 1843. The following year the couple’s only child was born. In 1851 John aged 32 and an agricultural labourer born at Wortham was married to Maria aged 27 who was born at Mellis a village just one mile immediately south of Wortham.
	Living with them at Long Green in Wortham was their son George who was aged 6 years and born at Wortham. Also living with the family was Maria’s sister Sarah Green aged 25 an unmarried tailoress of Mellis with her base-born son Arthur Green who was just four months old and also from Mellis.
	According to the 1851 Census return for John and Maria (ref. HO107/1795 – folio 334r/17) it would appear that they were living next door to John’s father William Collett as his record carries the reference 334r/16.
	Sometime between 1851 and 1861 John’s wife Maria died, but it is not known if this was whilst they were in Suffolk or after the family had moved north to County Durham. In 1861 widower John was listed as residing at Ormesby Eston near Middlesbrough. By this time George was no longer with his father but was living at Guisborough about 8 miles away.
	John died in December 1862 and the death was registered at Guisborough, presumably by his son George who was living there at that time (ref. Vol. 9d, page 326).
	20P15	George Collett		Born in 1844
20O3	PHILIP COLLETT was born on 07.11.1819 at Botesdale, a village to the west of Wortham, and was baptised at Wortham on 19.12.1819 (Parish Register ref. FB131/D1/5), when his parents were confirmed as William Collett and Mary Knights. He became a farm labourer and at the time of the census in June 1841 he was still living with his parents at the family home in Wortham. Four months after this, when Philip was 21, he married (1) 19 years old Maria Hammond at Wortham on Monday 1^st November 1841, the ceremony conducted by the Rev. Richard Cobbold of Wortham. Maria was a school mistress at nearby Hartismere School, and was born at Wortham in 1822. At her baptism on 03.10.1822, the entry in parish register recorded that Maria Hammant was the daughter of William Hammant and Elizabeth Harbour.
	The witnesses at the wedding of Philip and Maria were Charles Elvin, Sarah Ann Bryant, and Maria’s two sisters Mary and Hannah Hammond. And it was while Philip and Maria were living at Wortham that their only child was born.
	When the child was only fifteen months old, Philip and his wife and daughter emigrated to Australia. First they made their way to Ireland where they sailed out of Cork on Thursday 26^th October 1843 on board the three-masted sailing vessel, the barque ‘Neptune’, which arrived in Sydney on 11^th February 1844. The ship, under the Master William James Ferris, transported 308 bounty emigrants and during the difficult voyage ten passengers died, including 3 babies and two toddlers. This resulted in the ship being placed in quarantine for three days on its arrival in New South Wales because of smallpox.
	One of the later casualties of the journey was Philip’s wife Maria. She had not been well when leaving England, and suffered badly during the sea voyage and, due to her poor state of health, she died within three months of setting foot on Australian, soil when she passed away on 7^th May 1844 at a benevolent asylum. During those early days Philip and his wife and child had stayed at a house in Domain Terrace
	It was Maria’s father who had invited Philip and Maria, with baby Eliza, to join him in Australia and for which he sent the money for their passage. The invitation also included Maria’s two sisters Mary and Hannah who made the same journey to New South Wales on board the Neptune. This happened after the Rev Richard Cobbold at Wortham received a letter via Dr Broughton, the Bishop of Sydney, together with a sum of money sent by William Hammond.
	William Hammond (Hammant) had been convicted, with his brother James, of stealing wheat found at the Hammant family’s home at The Dolphin Inn near Wortham. On 6^th January 1832 they were both sentenced at Suffolk Quarter Sessions to fourteen years transportation, arriving in Sydney on 17^th August 1832 on board the Lady Harewood.
	Widower William later became a church warden at the town of Appin (just south of Sydney) from where he made his generous offer to provide the money (twenty pounds per person) for the rest of his family to join him. Philip Collett was provided with free passage to Sydney on the condition that he took with him William’s two daughters Maria and Hannah; Hannah had only just been born when he was transported.
	After the tragic death of his wife, Philip and daughter Eliza went to live at Appin where his father-in-law was still living, and it was there that he worked for the Rev. Sparling. This situation continued for nineteen months following the death of Maria, at the end of which he was to meet his second wife who also worked for the Rev. Sparling.
	Philip Collett married (2) Lucy Bean on Tuesday 16^th December 1845 at St Marks Church in Appin near Sydney in New South Wales. Lucy was born on 29.07.1825, the daughter of James Thomas Bean (junior) and Esther Short. Once married, the couple moved into the parsonage in Appin where they both worked, and where their first child was born. The marriage produced a total of thirteen children for Philip and Lucy, and all of them except the last child were born in Appin.
	It was while the family was still living at Appin, that Philip was one of six local patrons elected at a public meeting to establish a Vested National School in Appin. He and his family also lived in various properties in the town of Appin owned by the Rev. Sparling. These were at Elladale Road, Lachlan Vale Road, and Macquarie Dale Road. It would appear that Philip later became a farmer, perhaps when he left Appin.
	It was while living at Elladale Road that the couple’s second and third child was born. It is also interesting that, at the time of the birth of some of his children, Philip gave his name as Philip Spelling Collett, and it is wondered if this was simply a misinterpretation of Philip Sparling Collett, and a reference to his benefactor and landlord.
	It may also be noteworthy that the Rev. Sparling built Elladale Cottage on the Elladale Road in 1838, and that this served as a church until the construction of St Mark’s Church in Appin was completed during 1842. It is conceivable that the Collett family lived at Elladale Cottage until around 1849, the cottage later being occupied by Rachel Henning (1826-1914), the writer of many letters to her sister in England.
	Around 1849 the family moved to nearby Lachlan Vale Road where Philip’s and Lucy’s next six children were born. Just prior to 1864 they moved again, this time to Macquarie Dale Road where Lucy presented Philip with a further two children.
	The final family move took place between 1868 and 1872, when Philip and Lucy travel south to Gunning in New South Wales, just north of Canberra, where many of Lucy’s family relatives were living at that time. It was also after the couple settled in Gunning that their last child was born.
	Sadly this last child did not survive beyond eighteen months when she died in 1874, and was followed two years later by her father. Philip Collett died on Tuesday 24.12.1876 when he was 56. His widow Lucy Collett nee Bean died twenty-one years later on 26.03.1897.

20O4	Susanna Collett was born at Wortham during 1821 and due to her poor state of health she was privately baptised at home in Wortham on Sunday 8^th July 1821, when the baptism record confirmed that she was the daughter of William Collett and Mary Knight. It would appear that she never recovered from whatever it was that was wrong with her, since she died not long after, and during that same year.
20O5	George Collett was born at Wortham in 1824, where he was baptised on 20.09.1824 the son of William Collett and Mary Knight. It is understood that he suffered an infant death and died just a few weeks after he was baptised..
20P1	William Collett was born at Wortham, either in the latter days of 1843 or the very first days of 1844. It was at Wortham that he was baptised on 07.01.1844, the son of William and Anne Collett. By the time of the Wortham census of 1851 William was seven years old when he was living there with his parents.
	He was still there ten years later at the age of seventeen, and also ten years after that when he was twenty-seven and still a bachelor. No trace of William Collett has been found after this time.
20P2	Philip Collett was born at Wortham in 1845 and it was there that he was baptised on 23.11.1845, the son of William and Anne Collett. Tragically he only survived for two weeks when he died in early December 1845.
20P3	Eliza Collett was born at Wortham in 1847 and was baptised there on 14.03.1847, the daughter of William and Anne Collett. In 1851 Eliza was four years old; in 1861 she was fourteen years old; and in 1871 she was twenty-six years old. On each occasion she was living with her parents in Wortham.
	It was at Wortham that Eliza married Samuel Bartram (or Bartrum) in 1872. This was possibly a double wedding with her sister Laura (below) who married George Coppin(g) and an entry in the 1881 Census places a Harry Bartrum (possibly Samuel’s brother) aged 25 as a bricklayer’s labourer working for Alfred W Coppin(g) (possibly George Coppin’s brother) aged 27 who was a builder employing three men. Both men had been born in Wortham.
	By 1881 the marriage of Eliza and Samuel had produced three children for the couple and all of them born at Wortham. However, by that census day the family was living at the Cottage-By-Ling in Palgrave, between Diss and Wortham.
	The census record (RG11/1853 – folio 69/23) listed Samuel Bartram as 30 and an agricultural labourer born at Wortham, his wife as Eliza who was 34 and of Wortham, and their three children. These were Jessie Bartram aged 6 (born in 1874), Philip Bartram aged 5 (born in 1875), and Albert Bartram who was three years old (born in 1877).
	Samuel’s father was Samuel Bartram an agricultural labourer of Wortham born in 1819 who, in 1881, was a widower living at Millway Lane in Palgrave with his daughter and housekeeper Eliza Bartram who was 21, and daughter Sarah Bartram 18 who was listed as ‘unwell’ with no occupation. Both daughters had been born at Palgrave and both were unmarried.
20P4	Laura Collett was born at Wortham in 1849 and it was there that she baptised on 15.04.1849, the daughter of William and Anne Collett. In the following three census records for Wortham, Laura was listed living there with her parents at the ages of two years, thirteen years, and twenty-two years respectively.
	Shortly after the 1871 Census, Laura married George Coppin(g) at Wortham in 1872, possibly at a double wedding with her sister Eliza (above).
	There is no record of Laura Coppin(g) in 1881. However, by that time George Coppin(g), a blacksmith’s striker aged thirty-seven and born at Bressingham very near to Wortham, had moved to County Durham as did Laura’s brother Philip Collett (below), her cousin George (below) and his father John Collett (Ref. 20O2).
	This George Coppin(g) was married to Susanna aged 35 and born at Wortham which may place her as an older sister to Laura and Eliza. Also there was a Susanna in the previous generation of the Collett family but she died soon after being born, so this Susanna may have been named in her memory.
	There may therefore be some confusion between Laura and Susanna as to which one married George Coppin(g). In the event that this latest assumption is correct, Susanna and George had six children between 1869 and 1878 the first being born at Shildon near Bishop Auckland and the rest being born at Darlington where the family was living at 14 Katherine Street in 1881 (ref. RG11/4886 – folio 51/46).
20P5	Jane Collett was born at Wortham in 1851 where she was baptised on 03.08.1851 the daughter of William and Anne Collett. Sadly it was at Wortham that she died during December 1858, aged just seven years.
20P6	Philip Collett was born at Wortham in 1853 where he was living with his family in 1861 at the age of eight years and ten years later in 1871 when he was seventeen.
	During the following year Philip married Ann Elizabeth Dye, also of Wortham, this being the same year that his two sisters (above) were married. Philip and Ann started out their married life at Wortham where their first child was born. However, the promise of work in the Durham area meant that the family moved north not long after.
	By 1881 Philip was a coalminer aged 27 living with wife Ann, also aged 27, at Brick Garth (street name) in the town of Easington Lane just south of Hetton-le-Hole in County Durham. With them were daughter Emily Elizabeth aged 8, and sons George William Collett aged 3 born at Cornforth in County Durham and John James Collett who was one year old and born at Easington Lane (ref. RG11/4976 – folio 109/33).
	Twenty years later in 1901, the family were still living at Brick Garth (ref. RG13/4696 – folio 105v/160). Philip was now listed as a coal hewer aged 47 born at Wortham. He was stated as being married but on the day of the census his wife was not listed.
	It is possible, although not proved, that Philip’s wife Ann may have been very ill at this time and in hospital, or even that she had just died. Either it seems likely that this eventually did happen, after which Philip remarried – according to the census of 1911.
	The main difference between the census records for 1901 and twenty years earlier was that the family had grown to comprise eight children. In addition, the couple’s eldest daughter Emily had married but was living with them with her husband and their two children. All of the children from son John onwards were confirmed as having been born while Philip and Ann were living at Brick Garth in Easington.
	These were listed as George 23, John 21, Philip 17, Thomas 16, twins Robert and Mary Jane 12, and seven years old Ellen. See individual entry for daughter Emily and her family.
	During the next decade four of Philip’s children left the family home in Brick Garth, so by April 1911 the family consisted of Philip Collett of Wortham who was 57, his wife Catherine who was 58, and Philip’s three remaining children Thomas Collett 26, Robert Collett 22, and Ellen Collett who was seventeen.

20P7	Emma Alice Collett was born at Wortham in 1857. And it was there as Emma Collett that she was baptised on 06.09.1857, the daughter of William and Anne Collett.
	She was four years old at the time of the Wortham census of 1861 and fourteen in 1871. Ten years later in 1881, listed simply as Alice Collett, she was 24 years old and was employed as a brush maker. By that time she and her family were living at Mount Road in the Mount Pleasant district of Diss.
	It was around June 1882 that Emma married Charles James Bugg at Edmonton in London. He was born at Norwich in 1857 or 1858, the son of Charles Samuel Bugg. According to the 1891 Census, Charles was aged 33 and was a whitesmith living at 8 Edith Road in Tottenham with his wife Emma Alice aged 34, and two sons who were born at Southgate and Tottenham respectively.
	Also living with them was Charles’ father Charles Samuel Bugg, a widower aged 66 of Norwich, and Emma’s widowed mother Ann Elizabeth Collett aged 68 of Bury St Edmunds, and Emma’s brother Caleb John Collett a brush-maker of thirty-one (ref. RG12/1080 – folio 86r/35)
	Also in the census of 1881 Emma’s future husband Charles J Bugg was living at 6 Alfred Place, St Giles-in-Fields in London where he was listed as ‘nephew’ aged 23 and a whitesmith of Norwich. The head of house was 57 years old James Brown a tailor from Cornwall. The family connection was with Mary A Brown aged 52 of Woodbastwick northeast of Norwich.
	In 1881 Charles James Bugg’s parents were living at 3 Wellington Terrace in Potter Heigham in Norfolk. Charles Samuel Bugg was a carter aged 55 as was his wife Sarah who was born at Woodbastwick. With them was their son William a 21 years old carpenter born at Costessey near Norwich. It therefore seems highly likely that Mary A Brown of Woodbastwick (above) was the sister of Charles James Bugg’s mother as they share a common birthplace.
	Emma’s father died in early 1891, following which her mother, the widow Ann Elizabeth Collett, together with Emma’s younger brother Caleb, lodged with Emma and Charles Bugg at their home at 8 Edith Road in Tottenham, London.

20P8	Jane Collett was born at Wortham during March 1859 but sadly only survived for six months, when she died at Wortham in September in 1859.
20P9	Jane Collett was born at Wortham in 1861 and was eight years old in the Wortham census of 1871. Ten years later Jane was 20 years of age and was and a brush-maker living in Diss with her parents, her sister Alice (above) and brother Caleb (below) at Mount Road in the Mount pleasant area of the town.
20P10	Alice Jane Collett was born at Wortham in December 1861, but was not baptised there until 05.07.1868. By the time of the census 1881 Alice and her parents had left Suffolk and crossed the county boundary into Norfolk. It was there, at Mount pleasant Road in the Mount Pleasant district of Diss, that they were living, when Alice was working as a brush-maker.
20P11	Amelia Collett was born at Wortham in 1866 and was baptised there on 09.05.1866, although she died shortly after.
20P12	Alfred Collett was born at Wortham in 1868 and died there that same year.
20P13	Caleb John Collett was born at Wortham in 1869 and it was there that he was baptised on 06.03.1870. By the time of the 1871 Census, Caleb was one year old, while ten years later he was listed as being twelve years of age when he was working as an errand boy.
	At that time he and his family were living at Mount Pleasant Road in the Mount Pleasant district of Diss. With him and his parents were his two sisters Emma Alice Collett, who was simply referred to as Alice, and Jane Collett (above).
	According to the next census in 1891, Caleb was a lodger at 8 Edith Road in Tottenham, the home of Charles James Bugg a whitesmith born in Norwich. The census return confirmed he was 21 years of age and from Wortham, and that his occupation was that of a brush-maker.
	Also a lodger at the same address was Caleb’s widowed mother Ann Elizabeth Collett who was sixty-eight and from Bury St Edmunds.
	Caleb married Clara Jane Meads at Wood Green in Tottenham sometime during the period between May and August 1891, and it was at Wood Green that all of his children were born. However, he was absent from the family’s Wood Green home at the time of the census of 1901. Perhaps he was away on military duty.
	As a result, the census return simply listed the family as Clara J Collett who was thirty, her daughters Maggie Collett 9, Nettie J Collett 8, and Ida Beryl Collett who was four, and her son Arthur J Collett who was six years old. All of the children, and their mother were recorded as having been born at Wood Green.
	The family was still living at Wood Green in April 1911 when Caleb John Collett of Wortham was 41, while his wife Clara Jane Collett was 40. Living with them was just three of their six children, these being Nettie Jane Collett 18, John Collett 9, and Dorothy May Collett who was three.
	No record has been found in 1911 of the couple’s son Arthur who was have been sixteen, while their two missing daughters were both working in the London area. Maggie Winifred was 19 and was in service at a house in Kensington, and Ida was fourteen and in the West Ham area.

20P14	Samuel Jesse Collett was born at Wortham during June 1870 with just the name Samuel, although no baptism record has been found for him. In the census of 1871 Samuel Collett of Wortham was under one year old, but the following year he died at two years of age under the name of Jesse Collett.
20P15	George Collett was born at Wortham in 1844 and was baptised there on 09.02.1845, the son of John and Maria Collett. By the time of the census of 1851 George was six years old and was living with his parents John and Maria at Long Green in Wortham.
	George was an only child and following the death of his mother before 1861 he and his father appear in the Middlesbrough area for the 1861 Census, but not living together. George Collett from Wortham, who was 16 and an apprenticed confectioner, was living at the home of wholesale confectioner and grocer William Woodcock at Westgate in Guisborough.
	Just over seven years later George married Sarah Jane Peacock (or Ransom) in June 1868. The marriage was registered at Stokesley south west of Guisborough (ref. Vol. 9d, page 780), and this indicated that Sarah was born at Leeds in 1845.
	In 1871 George, aged 26 and working as a grocer’s assistant, and his wife Sarah aged 25, were living with their first child at Westgate in Guisborough (ref. RG10/4857 – folio 20r/176).
	Ten years later and the family had grown to four daughters and one son, all of the children having been born at Guisborough where the births were registered. The family appeared to be ‘well off’ at this time as their address was recorded as 29 and 31 Redcar Road in Guisborough, where they had the luxury of a live-in servant Amelia Nincks, a seventeen year old girl from Germany.
	Whether by sheer coincidence or not, living in the premises next door at 25 and 27 Redcar Road was the Collett family of grocer William Collett from Halifax whose father came from South Wraxall in Wiltshire, the details for whom are included in Appendix One to Part 31 – The Wiltshire to New Zealand Line.
	In 1881 George Collett of Wortham, was described as being aged 36 and a grocer (RG11/4844 – folio 73/12). Sarah his wife was 35, and their children were Ada 11, Maria 9, Sarah 6, Maud 4, and their son George who was two years old. George and Sarah were also still living in Redcar Road in both 1891 and 1901 although at different addresses, as described below.
	In 1891 the family, comprising grocer George 46 and Sarah 45, and children Maria 19, Sarah 16, Maud 14 and George 12, was living at 31 Redcar Road (RG12/4002 – folio 63r/184). Also living with them was nephew Percy R Poole aged 10 and born at Stockton. As George Collett had no siblings, it seems reasonable to assume that Percy was the child of a sister-in-law, and the sister of Sarah Jane his wife.
	By the time of the 1901 Census the family was living at 33 Redcar Road in Guisborough. George was then described as a grocer and shopkeeper aged 56. He was still married to Sarah aged 55 and still living with the couple were their daughters Maria aged 29 and Maud aged 24, both unmarried, and their son George aged 22 who was a grocer’s assistant and also not married (ref. RG13/4571 – folio 60r/131).
	The two daughters occupations were quoted as being ‘mother’s helper/domestic’ but both had been crossed out. Also living with the family was their five years old grandson Cyril Collett. This child’s name immediately followed the name of Maud E Collett on the census form and both of these came after the entry for son George who was the youngest member of the family. Therefore it can safely be assumed that Cyril was Maud’s base-born son.
	Ten years later in April 1911 the family was still living at Guisborough when the census return listed the family as George Collett of Wortham who was 66, his wife Sarah Jane Collett as 65, and their unmarried daughters Sarah Eleanor Collett 36, and Maud Emily 34, together with her son Cyril who was fifteen.

20P16	Eliza Collett was born at Wortham in Suffolk on Tuesday 12^th July 1842, and was baptised there on 06.09.1842, the only child of Philip Collett and Maria Hammond. When Eliza was just over one year old, she and her parents emigrated to Australia via Ireland. The arduous journey on board the barque Neptune between October 1843 and February 1844 caused severe health problems for Eliza’s mother, who died shortly after the family arrived at Sydney. The following year, and nineteen months after the death of her mother, Eliza’s father was married for a second time. Eliza Collett married Thomas Harvey on Tuesday 8^th April 1862 at Appin in New South Wales.
	Thomas was born on 05.05.1841 and was the son of William Harvey and Mary A Harvey. After she was married, the records show that she was referred to as Eliza Ann Harvey.
	Their marriage produced eleven children for Eliza and Thomas, and these were: Mary Maud Harvey (15.03.1863-16.08.1949); Philip Harvey (21.01.1865-09.04.1866); James William Harvey (23.03.1867-1959); Charlotte Maria Harvey (10.09.1869-12.07.1937); Lucy Hannah Hammond Harvey (16.08.1871-22.06.1941); Percy Thomas Harvey (18.08.1873-02.09.1876); Emily May Harvey (28.07.1875-25.09.1876); Albert Edward Harvey (20.07.1877-); Arthur Herbert Harvey (12.09.1879-04.10.1906); Eliza Jane Harvey (1880-); and Amy Elizabeth Mildred Harvey (04.07.1882-October 1966).
	It was while she was living at Malden in New South Wales that Eliza Harvey nee Collett died on Monday 13^th May 1895 at the age of 52. Thomas Harvey survived for another twenty-six years, until his death on 10.06.1921.
20P17	Mary Collett was born at the Parsonage in Appin, New South Wales on Sunday 26^th July 1846. In 1874 she married William Walter Nicol at Campbelltown in New South Wales. William was born in 1850 and his married to Mary produced eight children, all perhaps born at Campbelltown where Mary died on 9^th January 1920 at the age of 73. Her husband died seven years later on 11^th October 1927.
	Their eight children were: Minnie Nicol (1874-27.08.1951); Ellen Jane Nicol (1875-10.07.1914); Amy Lucy Nicol (1877-); Walter George Philip Nicol (1879-); Maudina May Nicol (1880-20.06.1943); Alice Beatrice Nicol (1882-); Dulcie Amelia Nicol (1885-); and Sybil Grace Nicol (1888-13.04.1092).
20P18	Arthur Collett was born at Elladale Road in Appin on Friday 5^th May 1848. He married Rebecca Jane Sutherland on Tuesday 9^th January 1877 at Wilton Church in Campbelltown. The majority of their children were born in Appin, where three of them died as infants.
	Arthur Collett died on Friday 1^st April 1932 at Mount Britain in Appin aged 83. His wife Rebecca died just less than two years later, when she passed away on 12^th February 1934.

20P19	Philip Collett was born at Elladale Road in Appin on Sunday 20^th January 1850, the son of Philip Spelling Collett and Lucy Bean. According to the New South Wales indexes of births, deaths and marriages, Philip Collett married Mary Ann Edwards at Gundaroo in Queanbeyan near Canberra in New South Wales on Monday 6^th February 1882. Mary, who was born on 3^rd March 1864, was sometimes referred to as Minnie. The couple had ten children and all of them were born in New South Wales, but at differing locations.
	The first was born at Gundaroo in Queanbeyan, the second, third and fourth at Goulburn, with the next five born at Young, while the couple’s last child was born at Grenfell.
	Philip died at Goulburn on 11^th November 1918 at the age of 68, while Mary survived for another twenty-five years until her death in 1943. Sadly, the year before she died Mary received the tragic news that her son Arthur William Collett had died while working for the Australian military headquarters of the army.

20P21	Lucy Amelia Collett, who was often known as Amelia, was born at Lachlan Vale Road in Appin on Wednesday 1^st November 1854. She married Robert Henry E Davis, the son of Edward Davis and Mary Ann Smith, at St Edmund’s Church in Gunning on Saturday 13^th February 1875.
	The marriage of Lucy and Robert produced eight children for the couple, these being Mary Lucy Davis (1876-1898), Alice M Davis (1877-), Eveline Kate Davis (1879-), Percy Edward Davis (1880-1967), Sidney Spencer Davis (1882-), Beatrice A Davis (1885-), Florence Ida Mildred Davis (1890-), and Leslie Robert Davis (1893-).
	It was their daughter Florence Davis who later married her cousin Arthur William Collett (Ref. 20Q38), the son of Lucy’s brother Philip Collett (above).
	Lucy Amelia Davis nee Collett died on Thursday 19^th June 1941 at Guildford in New South Wales at the age of 86, her husband Robert having died two years previously on 30^th April 1939.
20P22	William Collett was born at Lachlan Vale Road in Appin on Saturday 12^th January 1856. He married Ellen Boyd at Collector in New South Wales on Monday 4^th October 1880, Ellen having been born on 9^th May 1861. Over the following twenty-two years their twelve children were born at various locations, as detailed below, which probably reflects on the type of work in which William was involved.
	William and Ellen were living at Goulburn on the occasion of the birth of their first child. Shortly after they moved to Waterloo where their second child was born, and then onto Central Cumberland where a further two were born.
	After a few years in Granville, where two more children were added to the family, they spent a short time in Crookwell for the birth of son Joseph, before settling in Boorowa where the next four children were born. Following this the family moved Grenfell where the couple’s last child was born.

20P29	Ada Rhoda Collett was born at Gunning in New South Wales on 26^th October 1873 and was just over one year old when she died there on 16^th May 1875.
20Q1	Emily Eliza Collett was born in 1873. Although born at Wortham, her parents moved to County Durham sometime after she was born and before the birth of the family’s second child. Around 1896 she married George Spencely Clayton at Houghton-le-Spring in County Durham. George was born in the town of Easington Lane in 1872.
	In the 1901 Census Emily and George were living as boarders with Emily’s parents at Brick Garth in Easington Lane where George was a coal hewer aged 29. Both of their children with them at that time had been born at Easington Lane.
	They were Joseph Clayton who was four years old and Philip Clayton who was three.
20Q2	George William Collett was born at Cornforth in County Durham in 1877 and the birth was registered at Stockton in the July to September quarter 1877. In 1901 at the age of 23 George was unmarried and was still living with his parents at Brick Garth in Easington Lane. His occupation as at that time was described as a coal worker below ground.
	Shortly after the census day George married Harriet Wharton and by the spring of 1911 the marriage had produced five children for the couple. In the census taken in April 1911 for Brick Garth in Easington Lane, George William Collett was 33 and his wife Harriet was 32.

	Within the following year John married Esabella Dodds (Isabella) and over the next ten years they were presented with four children. According to the census of 1911 the family was living at Brick Garth and included John James Collett 31, his wife Esabella 31, Mary Jane Dodds Collett 7, Philip Collett 5, Henry Collett 2, and Ann Elizabeth Collett who was just five months old.

20Q4	Philip Collett was born at Easington Lane in 1883. At the age of 17 he was still living with his parents at Brick Garth in Easington Lane. His occupation as at that time in 1901 was described as coal worker below ground.
20Q5	Thomas Collett was born at Easington Lane in 1884 and at the age of 16 he was still living with his parents at Brick Garth in Easington Lane. His occupation as at that time in 1901 was described as a worker below ground.
20Q6	Robert Collett, who was one half of a set of twins, was born at Brick Garth in Easington Lane in 1888 and it was at Brick Garth that he was living with his family in March 1901 at the age of twelve years. It was around this time that his mother Ann died, following which his father Philip re-married.
	By the time of the next census in April 1911, Robert was twenty-two and was one of only three children still living with his father, and his new wife Catherine, at Brick Garth.
20Q7	Mary Jane Collett, was a twin with her brother Robert (above) and was born in 1888 at Brick Garth in Easington Lane. Mary still living at Brick Garth in March 1901 at the age of twelve years and it was around this time that her mother Ann died and her father Philip Collett took a second wife.
20Q8	Ellen Collett was born at Brick Garth in Easington Lane in 1893 and was seven years old in the Brick Garth (Hetton-le-Hole, Durham) census of 1901. Ellen was still living with her father ten years later aged seventeen, by which time her mother had died and her father was re-married.
20Q17	Ada E Collett was born at Guisborough in 1869, the eldest child of George Collett and Sarah Jane Peacock (or Ransom). At the time of the census in 1881 Ada was eleven years old when she was living with her family at 29 and 31 Redcar Road in Guisborough. Her absence from the family home at the time of the next census in 1891 possibly indicated that Ada was married by then.
20Q18	Maria A Collett was born at Guisborough in 1871. She appeared in the national census returns for 1881, 1891 and 1901, always living at home with her parents George and Sarah Collett. For the latter she was listed as aged 29 and unmarried, a mother’s helper/domestic, although this occupation was crossed out on the record (ref. RG13/4571 – folio 60r/131).
20Q19	Sarah Eleanor Collett was born at Guisborough in 1874. She appears in the national census returns for 1881 and 1891 living at home with her parents George and Sarah Collett. No record of Sarah has been found in the census of 1901.
	It is possible that she never married, since in 1911 she was listed in that year’s census as Sarah Eleanor Collett a spinster of 36 living at Guisborough with her parents.
20Q20	Maud Emily Collett was born at Guisborough on 26.06.1876, and was baptised at the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Guisborough on 19.07.1876 when she was confirmed as the daughter of George and Sarah Jane Collett.
	Like her sister Maria, she too appears in the national census returns for 1881, 1891 and 1901, always living at home with her parents George and Sarah Collett. For the latter she was listed as being aged 24 and unmarried, a mother’s helper/domestic, although this occupation was crossed out on the record (ref. RG13/4571 – folio 60r/131).
	Also with her in 1901 was her five years old base-born son, who was listed as grandson to her parents George and Sarah Collett. By 1911 Maud Emily Collett who was 34, was still living with her elderly parents, and with her again was her son Cyril who was fifteen by then.
	20R10	Cyril Collett		Born in 1895 at Guisborough
20Q21	George Ernest Collett was born at Guisborough during September 1878. He was listed with his family in the census returns for 1881, 1891, and again in 1901, when his occupation was that of a grocer’s assistant working with his father and grocer George Collett.
	Seven years later between May and August 1908 George married May (Welsh or Wilkinson) at Guisborough, and by April 1911 May had presented her husband with their first child.
	The Guisborough area census of 1911 recorded the family as George Ernest Collett 32, his wife May Collett as 27, and their daughter Marjorie Collett who was only seven months old.
	20R11	Marjorie Collett	Born in September 1910 at Guisborough
20Q22	Emily Ella Collett was born at Wilton (south-west of Appin) on Tuesday 6^th November 1877. She married Edward Booth Winton on Wednesday 18^th April 1906 at St Barnabas Church in Sydney. Edward was born on 4^th May 1876, and he died on 17^th July 1945.
	Emily Ella Winton nee Collett she died on Thursday 9^th June 1966 at the age of 88, and was buried in the churchyard of St Mark’s Church in Appin.
	During their life together Emily and Edward had three children; Gladys Myee Winton (06.02.1907-11.05.1995), Aubrey Edward Winton (02.11.1908-), and Doris Emily Winton (02.11.1908-09.02.1950).
20Q23	Mary Lucy Collett was born at Macquarie Dale Road in Appin on Tuesday 10^th June 1879. It would appear that she never married and died at Appin during 1961.
20Q24	James Thomas Collett was born at Macquarie Dale Road in Appin on Saturday 4^th December 1880. He married Florence E Knight at Woonona in New South Wales during 1901, Florence being born in 1883 and the daughter of John and Ellen Knight.
	The couple’s first three children were born at Appin, the next three were born at Alstonville, and the last three were born after the family had moved to Queensland.

20Q31	Ada Rhoda Collett was born at Mount Britton Road in Appin on Saturday 25^th February 1893. She married Albert Horrex Read on Saturday 23^rd October 1915 at St Mark’s Church in Appin. It was at Nambour in Queensland that Ada Read nee Collett died on Wednesday 5^th June 1963 at the age of 70.
20Q32	Percy Philip Collett was born at Mount Britton Road in Appin on Thursday 18^th July 1895. At the outbreak of the Great War, Percy enlisted with the Australian Light Horse as trooper 3414. He saw active service in the Middle East and entered the battle for Jericho in Palestine on 21^st February 1918. It was less than two months later at Jericho that Percy died on 11^th April 1918 and was buried in Jerusalem.
	The War Graves Commission entry reads “Percy Philip Collett aged 22 died on 11^th April 1918 and was buried at the War Cemetery in Jerusalem. He was a native of Appin in New South Wales and the son of Arthur and Rebecca Jane Collett”.
	The Jerusalem War Cemetery where he was buried (Ref. H10) is just over four kilometres north of the walled city and is situated on the neck of land at the north end of the Mount of Olives, to the west of Mount Scopus. The cemetery on Churchill Boulevard lies between the Hadassah Hospital and the Hyatt Hotel. The Australian Memorial carrying Percy’s name is situated opposite the cemetery entrance

	It was forty years after they were married that Jack Alexander Collett died at Cooroy in Queensland during 1967. Florence, who was known as Florrie, survived for a year after the death of her husband, when she died at Gympie in Queensland during 1968.

20Q36	Oscar Herbert Collett was born at Goulburn on Tuesday 10^th April 1883. He married Bertha Isabel Buttenshaw at Grenfell in New South Wales on Wednesday 28^th October 1908.
	It seems very likely that Oscar and Bertha lived the majority of their married life at Grenfell, since that was where all their children were born and where their youngest son Laurence died in 1929.
	Oscar Herbert Collett died on Saturday 10^th March 1979 at the grand age of 95.

20Q37	Herbert Oliver Collett was born at Goulburn in New South Wales in 1884, although an alternative source placed the birth as happening at Argyle in 1884.
20Q38	Arthur William Collett was born at Goulburn in New South Wales in 1887. He married Florence Ida Mildred Davis who was born in 1890 and who was known within the family as Ida. She was the daughter of Lucy Amelia Collett (Ref. 20P21), the sister of Arthur William Collett’s father Philip Collett. Arthur and Ida were therefore directly related, being first cousins. The wedding took place at Granville in New South Wales during 1919, and resulted in the birth of a daughter for Arthur and Florence. It seems very likely that Arthur took an active part in the First World War judging by the photograph of him in his army uniform, but being in his fifties at the time of the start of the Second World War he was probably considered too old for active duty.
	However, he did manage to secure the role of Private Collett N-100659 with the Australian Army Headquarters. Although the cause is not known, Arthur William Collett died while in the service of the army on 11.12.1943 at the age of 53. His actual age at that time was in 57 or nearly 58.
	Arthur was buried at the Sydney War Cemetery and the military records confirmed that his next-of-kin was his wife Florence Ida Collett of Guildford, and that his parents were Philip and Minnie Collett. The Guildford mentioned here refers to Guildford in New South Wales, rather than the one in Surrey, England.

20Q39	Lillian Ella Collett was born at Young in New South Wales in 1888. She married Henry Spencer Miles who was born in 1886 and who was known as Harry. The marriage took place at Grenfell in New South Wales, and from which Lillian and Harry had two children.
	Their two children were Henry Ernest Miles (1905-) and Lucy Ella Miles (1908-). Lillian Ella Miles nee Collett died in 1945.
20Q40	Laura Beatrice Pearl Collett was born at Young in 1889 and in 1909 at Grenfell in New South Wales she married Thomas Stein who was born in 1887.
20Q41	William Leslie Philip Collett was born at Young in 1891. On Tuesday 20^th January 1920 at Goulburn William married Pearl Weeks who was born in 1893, the daughter of William Weeks and Amy A Watman. Pearl died in 1984 twenty-eight years after William had passed away in 1956 while they were living at Moss Vale. On 2^nd September 1922 the records show that a Herbert John Collett was born to a Philip Collett at Goulburn. It therefore seems likely that William had used the name Philip after his father Philip who had died in 1918 and his grandfather before him.
	William also had two brothers with the name Herbert and a younger brother John. On that basis, it therefore seems worthwhile to include Herbert John Collett as his and Pearl’s child. William Leslie Philip Collett died on Sunday 5^th August 1956, and was buried at Bong Bong Cemetery in New South Wales.

20Q44	Leslie John Leonard Collett was born at Grenfell in New South Wales in 1902 and to date no record has been found to indicate that he ever married. What is known is that he died in 1978 while living at Bargo in New South Wales.
20Q45	Percy James Lodge Collett was born at Gunning on Sunday 26^th March 1871. He married Sarah Jane Swan at St Paul’s Church in Burra, New South Wales on Wednesday 26^th December 1900. Sarah was the daughter of John Swan and Margaret Brown and was born in 1877.
	The couple’s two children were both born while Percy and Sarah were living at Queanbeyan, and tragically it was around the time of the birth of the second child that Sarah died on 10^th March 1903. Percy died at Newtown in New South Wales on Thursday 8^th September 1927 when he was 56.
