My Family Tree

Is the Richard Wickett who married Mary Jane Ramsay a member of this family? Richard doesn't quite fit - could be a nephew?

There were three Richard Wicketts in Devon records, all three in Holsworthy, Devon, England Methodist church records

1. born 11 Jun 1836 son of William and Elizabeth (Henry Wickett's parents)
2. born 10 May 1836, son of Richard and Mary
3. born 1833, in Pancrasweek, son of Richard and Sally. In 1841 and 1851 census - this Richard went to Ontario.

Three Richard Wicketts died, in the same place, in 1845, 1851 and in 1859. No age given on the records.

No son named Richard with William and Elizabeth in 1841 in Kilkhampton.

In 1841, Richard Wickett age 7 was with Richard and Mary Wickett in Kilkhampton, and was age 17 in 1851, and 27 in 1861. He could be the same Richard who was married in England by 1871.

A Richard Wickett did arrive on Prince Edward Island, and married Mary Jane Ramsay in 1869 in Lot 13. This does not seem to be the same person as Richard King Wickett. Perhaps a nephew of William Wickett?

"Richard (1836) married three times: (1) Mary Jane Ramsay, (2) Sarah (3) Martha "Mattie" T. Pulisfer."(There to Here by Roy Newcombe) However, the Richard who married Sarah and Martha was younger by 10 years, and was a bachelor when he married Sarah in Ontario.

No further records found for Richard and Mary Jane. Sarah Wickett Baglole's obit named only Rev. Richard King as a surviving brother named Richard.
