Descendants of:
Robert Woollett m. Ann Tynemouth
I do not know the birth or marriage dates of Robert and Ann but estimate the birth date of Robert to be around 1795 on the assumption that he married at age 25 (around 1820) and soon afterwards in 1822 had his son Charles. These assumed date may of course be wildly wrong.
Here are listed 5 generations of the descendants of Robert Woollett
(Detailed information on later generations has been with-held to preserve their privacy.)
This is a condensed version of
the work of a number of researchers, most notably that of Stu and Nikki Woollett
and Sandra Roach. Please contact me if you feel that you should also be credited
with some of the research and I shall happily add your name.
Let me know if you find errors or omissions. I would like to be able to update this
information as more becomes available.
I anticipate that there may be a lot of errors (largely introduced by me!) in this first submission. By openly publishing the data it makes it available for scrutiny and correction.
There are hyperlinks between the generations to make navigation a little easier. After the name of a primary individual one parent is shown in brackets so that you can link back to the preceding generation. Where a child is included in the following generation there is a link forwards. Additional links lead to related documents.

to see the database
contents displayed in a new format (12th Jan 2001). Please let me know if this
is a useful style of presentation. One big advantage is the inclusion
of a names index for this branch of the family. In this instance
I have only included true descendants of Robert and for the first 5 generations. Other relatives who may be on the database are not
shown on this tree as, technically, they are not descendants, they
would appear on a kinship list.
If you have any supplementary information, details of early wills etc. that I can link to the individuals shown here, it would make these rather cold facts more interesting.
