Hello Clare
We are probably related further back. Our line seems to alternate between John and Robert (eldest sons). Our Robert was born in 1802. His father was John Bett born 1775 and his mother was Jean Stewart born 1780. Our John Bett is buried with his wife Catherine in Leuchars.
regards
John Newman

This is very interesting. I think you're right. My ancestor Robert Bett (son of John Bett and Catherine Cunningham moved to New Zealand in about 1855. He apparently lived iwth his brother Daivid Bett in Wanganui. John Bett, possibly a borther or cousin was also in Wanganui at that time and in business (timber and metal trades) in Wanganui with an Andrew Robertson who may have been a cousin.
Catherine Cunnungham's parents were James Cunningham and Margaret Nicoll, both from Fife and born in the 1760s. Catherine had two sisters but neither of them were called Isabella. You might be right about hte brothers. In my family, the first born sons were alternately John and Robert so if John was the eldest brother, the next would be Robert and vice versa. Do you want my email address?

Hi there,

We may have a link somewhere and I have several John and Robert Betts in my line.

I have a John Bett marrying an Isabella Cunningham (rather than Catherine). John was born in 1792. They have a son Robert, although I have no dates or further information on him. I have John's father as John Bett married to an Ann Robertson. I'm descended from another of their sons, David. Most of the Bett family 'events' from around the 1780s in my family were in Leuchars.

I wonder if the Robert Bett in 1775 is the brother of John Bett (husband of Ann Robertson). The timelines would be correct for that, I think.

Cheers,
Clare

I am descended from BETTs in Fifeshire. They mostly were in Leuchars. Robert Bett (born 24May 1829) was my ancestor. He migrated to New Zealand and married Mary Burnett. His parents were John Bett and Catherine (nee Cunningham). His grandfather was Robert Bett born probably in 1775 in Fife, Scotland, he married Jean Stewart in 1802, probably in Fife.

Hello, I have the same g.grandfather, I don't know much but one of there daughters was my grandmother her name was Gertrude. She married Harry Snell of London, England and had Six childern, one being my mother Isabel. Gertrude died in 1958. I have been told that one winter in Winnipeg she helped the family survive because she was such a good shot. My cousin still has the shot gun and it is registered as a historical item.
Like you I am trying to find more information about my family and I suppose we are related. My cousin's all seem to have more info than I as I grew up in California and did not have much contact until I moved back to Canada.

Caimein,

That would be great if you could e-mail me a copy of the marriage license (I'm assuming that's what it is). I haven't been doing much genealogy research lately, but hope to get back in gear after we get another computer at home.
Thanks!! -Carolyn

Re: Susanna Bett b. in South Willingham, Lincolnshire, England

Caimein — 2007-04-24 16:31:23Z

Dear Carolyn, I am currently viewing the South Willingham Registers at my Local Family History Centre. I found Ben's death on 2nd August 1782. He was a farmer.
Ben's parents were Thomas Bett and Mary Horncastle. I am going to copy their marriage next week and could attach a copy for you. I believe Thomas was previously married to another Mary, Mary Grime.Thomas was born at East Barwith on 8th August 1863. His father was also Thomas. Mary was born at Covenham St Mary. Her parents were Jon Horncastle and Elizabeth.I have only recently started to research this family and was given some other information from Joan (Canada) who is a descendent of Lucy, Ben's sister.
Cheers
Caimein

Caimein — 2007-04-02 09:37:37Z

I have a Ben Bett christened 25th August 1723 at South Willingham, Lincolnshire. He is the brother of my ancestor Ann Bett. Their parents were Thomas Bett and Mary. I don't have any other information on the family as I have only just traced back to them.
Please contact me if this is your Benjamin.
