Hello Monica

Yes, some fellow researchers have investigated this line. Edward WINGETT married Mary Ellen NICHOLLS in Wolverhampton in 1905. He had nine brothers and sisters (at least) and his father was Albert WINGETT, also born in Tuckenhay. He also had nine or ten brothers and sisters and his father was John WINGETT who married Maria BARKER in Exeter in 1826. The principal researcher for this line has been looking long and hard for many years to find a baptism for him but with no success so far.

However, we think John's father was probably Henry WINGETT OF Ermington who is part of the Ugborough family tree. There were WINDEATTs/WINGETTs in this area for centuries and there is a family tree dating back to 1591 but I am not sure how well researched it is.

More recent members of this branch include a Lord Mayor of Plymouth (1958-9) and Mark WINGETT who used to be in "The Bill".

I have put a web page on this site, see;

 http://www.windeatt.f2s.com/windeatt/tree-ugborough.htm

but I have additional information and will contact you via email.

Thanks for getting in touch.

Thought you might be interested to know that a Betsy Cowling was baptised Plymouth St Andrew 18 Jul 1824, 2nd child of Atwill and Ann (Quiller) Cowling. 4 further children were baptised Dodbrooke 1827-34, and 2 at Ebenezer Independent Chapel, Kingsbridge 1837-40. Atwill was a fellmonger.

Details of first 6 children from DFHS Baptism Index, last 2 post on internet.

Hello Vic

Thanks for this information and sorry for taking so long to reply - bin away.

Regards, Sandra

sandra thank you for the information re wingett family history i was interested to note that in 1821 a jane windeat married a john rowe i married a john rowe in 1963 thought it would be quite ironic if we had the same ancesters it appears that the rowes came from devon also from monica

wow that is some crazy stuff. but it seem you may be right. or you may be wrong. I'm not sure . I have done some looking into this matter of my last name. my father his name was frederick a. wingate . He told me of seven brothers from england. who came here to the u.s. from royalty back round. that there was a family crest. my grandmother who is still alive at a pretty active 85 years of age. she do's not deniy the claim nore do's she confirm it. she will not talk to me about this. just that one day i'll know everthing.I have heard this nonsence all of my life.my yonger brothers is so full of this his head could explode. I my self have been unable to atain any info confirming this nore have i found any rebutting this.It has accured to me that the reason of leaving englend. would be a good reason to not want to make a public record of true name in the ship's log. the reason was something to the effect that they were leaving because of the lack of right's and freedoom. excapping the tieriny of the king and king of england.mind you my father was not a lier but could have had his facts off alittle but some how i believe that ther was something to the stories. mainly because if there was nothing but crap to this story my grandmothers responce would have been alot diffirent than i don't want to talk about this. I know there is some history pointing to this' that there may be some kinda connection of truth to this and that it is possible that these family members of the royal family may have been right in there dession to leave england was justified.they probley took a small amount of there fortune with thim the rest confiscated by the royal familyor the wingate's that did remain to save face disowend the seven brothers that left. To keep them from being able to make any claim that they or there decindents may have in the future. boy i don't know if that make's any sence to you but it sounds like it is very possable to me.So if that help's anything out for you i hope so but to say that anyone who claims to be from this crest bearing family is and is now in america is bold and possably reckless. but that would explain the claims of some familys that say they are from that family. and also i was told in the past buy someone that do's family history said something abou the dean family and the changing of the last name to wingate and windgate taken from the windgate mountains. sincerly wanting to know the truth and the only one's who really know arn't going to tell. $$$$$$$$$

hy i just was looking for anything about prestwich lunatic assylym and your windeatt page came up. it says that you cannot find the birth of john windeatt in @1840? well i just had a look at st caths index and found john chapman windeatt born september quarter 1841 exeter 10a 84. it this any help? cheers jane

Thanks, Jane, for your concern and for bothering to send a message about this.

However, John Chapman Windeatt was a different person and, indeed, a first cousin of the John who worked at Prestwich. There was also another John (a second cousin) who was born about the same time and these three have confused descendants in the past. In fact, the reason I ended up getting involved in this unofficial one-name study was exactly because I found that the only way to be sure you have the right person is if you rule out all the other people with similar names (and even then, of course, you can never be entirely sure).

I hope you found something of what you were looking for about Prestwich? It sounds as though it was a forward-thinking institution for those days.

Sandra

As part of ongoing research into the 5th Battalion, The Devonshire Regiment I have service history (circa late 1800's to 1925) for the following I would be more than happy to share if of interest :

Francis Knowles Windeatt
George Edgecombe Windeatt
John Windeatt

I would be very interested to learn more about these officers.

Regards
Dave Dycher

Hello Dave

Frances Knowles W (1875-1958) and George Edgecumbe W (1880-1962) were cousins, sons of the brothers, Thomas White W (1844-1903) and Edward W (1846-1921). These brothers were both solicitors and held various official offices (town clerk, mayor) in Totnes. There are lots of John WINDEATTs but possibly the one you mention was a brother of Francis Knowles - I have the dates 1876-1964 down for him but know little else.

They are all from the Totnes Tree (http://www.windeatt.f2s.com/windeatt/tree-totnes.htm) but I must warn you that I have not researched this myself and the information I have is mostly second-hand or pieced together from information on the web.

Possibly a descendant might know more.

However, recently Val Price has been researching Francis Knowles WINDEATT's career and has published some information via the Totnes Museum. Select ALL MESSAGES on this board (small letters at the top and bottom of this page) and scroll down to find some emails from Val with further information. This family was very influential in Totnes for many decades and the Totnes Museum will have a lot of information.

Thanks for getting in touch and I hope this helps,

Sandra W

Hello could you let me know if your Charles Allen Windeatt or one of his family were photographers in Weston Super Mare, I'm researching Somerset Photographers and a Charles ALLAN Windeatt (note spelling)as come to light, could perhaps confirm if it is the same family, perhaps it was a profession Charles wife Sarah took up after his accident..regards Allan

Hello Allan

How interesting! I had not so far found any evidence of Charles Allen WINDEATT being a photographer (as well as an erstwhile jeweller, composer, violinist and band-leader) but I guess he was someone who would have been willing to turn his hand to anything.

It surely must have been him because they were, almost, the only family of WINDEATTs in Somerset (certainly the only family in Weston) and he is the only one with those exact forenames. Can you tell me the date you have for him as a photographer? I don't think the spelling of Allan is significant as I have found this name spelled both ways.

I don't think his wife took up any profession after his accident . . . it rather looks as though he took the money and then zipped off to Weston where he carried on being a musician . . . or perhaps he set up as a photographer initially until he had recovered sufficiently to start playing again . .

Again the date would be very helpful here.

Many thanks,

Sandra

I picked up an old photograph off eBay which was was taken by Charles Windeatt and has the address of his studio/shop in Weston-Super-Mare if that is of any interest.

Good to hear from you.

If it is not too much trouble, I would love a scan of the front and reverse of the photo. The backs are very useful for dating nineteenth century photos and you can often get to within a year or two by looking at a combination of the styles on both the back and the front.

We've found out quite a bit more about Charles and his son, Corelli, recently. Have you seen it?

Sandra

Hi Sandra I've passed your web address to a friend of mine who runs a photographers web site hopefully he'll get in touch and share info with ref Windeatt WSM photographer, in the meantime would it be possible for me to have scans also from Phil of the Windeatt photo to further my Somerset Photographers research..good luck Allan

Ok Sandra ur welcome. I've got to find it now, that's the problem!
I will check the website for Chas and Corelli, many thanks.

Cheers, Phil
