Esther Willetts abt 1780
Starting a thread to see if we can link this Esther to other Willetts on BCC.
She married first Thomas Hawkswood, then Captain Tromans.
Here is the link:
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... &pid=26925
There is this possible family:
IGI Extracted (children of Benjamin & Hannah Willetts):
NANCY WILLITTS - Christening: 15 OCT 1780 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
ESTER WILLITTS - Christening: 20 APR 1777 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
RICHARD COOPER WILLETTS - Christening: 19 OCT 1794 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
THOS. WILLETTS - Christening: 14 JAN 1770 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
BENJAMIN WILLETTS - Christening: 19 OCT 1794 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
JOHN WILLITTS - Christening: 20 APR 1783 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
I can't see any of them on BCC

Edward possibly a brother?
In the light of this went looking and found this - Extracted:
Children of William and Elizabeth Willetts:
SARAH WILLETTS - Christening: 08 JUL 1770 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
EDWARD WILLITTS - Christening: 29 NOV 1772 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
MARTHA WILLITS - Christening: 04 JUN 1775 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
ALICE WILLITTS - Christening: 16 NOV 1777 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
ELIJA WILLETTS - Christening: 23 JAN 1780 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
RUTH OR TRUE WILLITTS - Christening: 21 MAR 1784 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
Sort of a match for:
ESTHER WILLETS
Christening: 13 JAN 1782 Halesowen, Worcester, England
Father: WM. WILLETS
Mother: ELIZ.
Except for Halesowen instead of RR

Looks good as it fills the "birth gap" and also is following the trend in the later children of biblical names!

Re: Esther Willetts abt 1780
I've put the Captain Tromans/Esther Willetts marriage on for look-up (hope I haven't doubled up).
I think we might have to archive until then, NL.

Re: Esther Willetts abt 1780
Oh, darn! Sorry NL, it's me that's confused! I had this sneaking suspicion that I'd seen a look-up, but couldn't place it. Just ignore me

Re: Esther Willetts abt 1780
NL I think I'll have to give up on this. Although there are possibilities to link Esther to other Willetts on BCC, without parents' names on the marriages (and the look-ups don't have any), I don't see how we can confirm any relationships.
Think you could archive it in case someone turns up with more information later.
