My Great grandmother was Sarah Govett, who came from St Dominick in Cornwall UK. She was the daughter of Thomas Barable Govett. I beleive that Govett is a Cornish name meaning Smith (blacksmith). There are numerous Govett's in the census data for Cornwall and they also appear in Tasmania, Australia.
My G grandmother's story is going to be published by Ancestry.co.uk as a St.Valentine's day special this year, so look out!
