Does anyone have a connection or further information on my Fleet family? My Gt Gt Gt grandfather was Robert Fleet (a gentleman by profession??) who had a son called William George Fleet (my gt gt grandfather) William married Sarah Charles Strong on 2.12.1837 in Kennington, Surrey (it says on their marriage certificate that he was living in Norwood, Surrey at the time and his profession was a sailor). On the 1871 census Sarah is listed as a widow so I don't know when William died but they had several children including Emily (my gt grandmother born 7.1.1839), Oswald Charles b. 1844, Louisa Anne b. 1846, Rosina Phoebe b. 1850 and Fanny Isabella b. 1854 ish. All the children were born in Peckham, Surrey and the family were living there at the time of census. Emily later went on to marry John McLachlan in 1872. If anyone is connected to this family I would love to hear from you.
