Hi Dorothy,

I am connected by marriage to two GILLETT brothers from the Lara/Geelong
area, who married two sisters - my GG-aunts.

James Thomas GILLETT (1873-1963) m. 1903 Jane COE (1875-1949)
and
Percival Josiah GILLETT (1877-1951) m. 1907 Matilda COE (1885-1955)

Both James Thomas & Percival Josiah GILLETT were 2 of 7 sons born to parents
Jacob GILLETT & Caroline GRASS. Jane & Matilda COE were my GG aunts, and
their parents were Henry COE & Ellen CARR, from Lara. Percival & Matilda
had no children. James & Jane had 3 sons - Harry (1905-1941), Leslie
(1906-1976) & Roy (1911-1950). They all remained in the Lara/Geelong area.

If you think your Thomas was connected to this family, or if I can be of any
help in unravelling your GILLETT connections then please let me know.

Regards,
Susan
