Hi Geraldine, and Jerry (My 3rd Cousin 1R).
My investigations into the WILLMOTTs turned up quite a few HALLETT
connections. When looking up Marriage entries at the SOG, I found the following
entries:

13/12/1802 George WILLMOTT & Eliz. FONE (X) both otp.
Witnessed by Floyer WILLMOTT and Catherine HALLETT

17/1/1803 Wm. FOWLER & Ann CROCKER both otp.
Witnessed by Thos. HALLETT and Mary FOWLER.

I also have the following on Census copies that have WILLMOTTs:

HO107/281/3 - (1841) Kingsland

for a Wheelwright (Solomon Spencer)

Let me know if you want the complete references.

Jerry, we'll have to meet up at the Hare & Hounds

With regards to the Hemp Labourer etc., I'm trying to research more on the Flax
Mill near Netherbury, which may have been owned by the WILLMOTTs.

I'd appreciate being copied on any WILLMOTT information.
