Folletts of Sidlesham, Co Sussex & thence to Australia

John and Robert were not native to Sidlesham. The parish records survive, with some breaks, back to the 1560's. There were, however, only three references to Follett's prior to 1790 - the marriage of John in 1789, the birth of Ann to Robert in 1788 and the birth of a Sarah in 1785 to John and Sarah - presumably a previous marriage of John's. A search of the online IGI did not reveal any Follett's in Sussex prior to this, although a comprehensive online search is not really possible - however no John's, Robert's, Mary's, Ann's, Sarah's or William's were, born or married in Sussex prior to 1785. A search of the IGI does not reveal any likely candidates for the parents of John and Robert. Sources [56,57] give the parentage of Robert who emigrated to South Australia as John and Elizabeth Aylward. John & Elizabeth did have a son, Robert, baptised 29/1/1792. However [58] is sourced from a family bible and has the Robert who emigrated as the son of Robert Sr and Sarah, born 10/6/1793. An examination of the IGI reveals that there were in fact two Follett families living in Sidlesham during the 1790's. Since the family bible referenced in [58] travelled to Australia, it is a reasonable assumption that the Robert who emigrated was the son of Robert Sr and not John, as given by [56,57]

Folletts of Stockland, Co Devon & thence to Guernsey & Australia

The two known children of Abraham & Mary Follett emigrated seperately to South Australia in the 1850s. According to the Golden Wedding Anniversary announcement of Abraham's daughter, Helen, she was his only daughter. It is possible there were other sons. Source [3] claims Abraham was from "Lymes" {presumably refering to the town of Lyme Regis, Co Dorset}, hence establishing a link to the Follett's of Sidmouth, Co Devon. This claim was based on the supposed baptism of Abraham's son, John, at Lymes, however his baptism was in fact at Chard, Co Somerset.[152] Abraham's daughter, Heen, was baptised at Honiton, Co Devon, which is about 16km south-west of Chard, across the Devon/Somerset border. The village of Stockland is almost exactly midway between Chart & Honiton. Abraham vanishes from the records after the birth of his two children, who next appear in the household of a John Follett living in St Peter Port, Guernsey. John is presumably a close relative of Abraham and the likely scenario is that Abraham (and possibly also his wife) died young and their children went into the care of John. Given John was about the same age as Abraham, that suggests he was probably Abraham's brother (or possibly a cousin).

Folletts of Bridport, Co Dorset & thence Australia

Mary Ann & her husband, Walter Way, appear to have first emigrated to New Zealand in the 1840s, thence to NSW, Australia in 1847 and finally to South Australia in 1851 where the family remained. The parentage of Mary's father, William, is unknown, but fortuitously he appears in the census records, so at least his approximate year of birth is known. A branch of the Sidmouth Follett's (not charted) settled at Bridport,[46] so it is possible this family belongs to that group.

A Follett family of France, England & Australia

Henry arrived with his family in 1863, remaining there until 1878 when the family departed for Ceylon and thence to Wales, where he was described as the French Vice Consul in 1881. According to the 1881 UK census Henry's wife, Amelia, was born in France, as was Henry. In the 1891 census she is listed as having been born in London, England and in the the 1901 census born in London, of French background. Henry vanished between 1881 & 1891 when Amelia appears as the head of the household. FreeBMD does not have a death listed that matches Henry, although the FreeBMD transcription is not yet complete. Alternatively Henry & Amelia separated & Henry returned to France.

William Baunton-cum-Follett of Wincanton, Co Somerset & thence Australia

At some time during the 1860s William Baunton appears to have changed his name to William Follett. Both William and his wife listed their surname as Follett on their death certificates. For some time I thought William Baunton's wife may have eloped with the William Follett who arrived in South Australia in 1840 on the Buffalo - this William 'vanishes' from Australia after the 1860. There is, however, no trace of a death for William Baunton, nor any indication that he left the country (although departing shipping lists are far from complete). The William Follett who died 1891, resident of Comaum, was born c.1825 from his death certificate, which matches the age of William Baunton from both his emigration record and also his appearance in the 1841 & 1851 UK census'. William Follett of the Buffallo, on the other hand, was born c.1805 and is the only candidate for the Mr Follett who departed from South Australia for India in 1866 (all the other male Follett's in South Australia at the time can be accounted for in the state after this date). Why William Baunton changed his name to William Follett (assuming this is the case) is a mystery. A clue may lie in where the family settled - whilst William's death certificate gives his residence as Comaum, South Australia, the Admin of his estate have his residence as Elderslie, Victoria. Elderslie was a farm on the Victoria-South Australia border named after Elderslie Creek, in the County of Follett. Elderslie Creek forms part of the northern border of the county, at its closest about 5km from Aspley, where most of William's children settled. Comaum is immediately across the state border from Follett County. I suspect for some reason William & Edith Baunton took on the name of the county in which they was living, as did their youngest child. Elderslie Station is today known as Langkoop. The Apsley Cemetery contains the graves of 6 Baunton's, all alas unmarked, but no Follett's.[83] Accounting for Baunton's known to have died in the area, the number of buials can only be accounted for if including William Sr & Edith, indicating they were buried as Baunton. This suggests the possibility that the inclusion of 'Follett' as the surname on the deaths of William Edith & Mary Jane may be the result of a confusion between the surname and the county name. "The County of Follett is one of the 37 counties of Victoria which are part of the cadastral divisions of Australia, used for land titles. It comprises a strip in the far southwest of the state bounded by the Glenelg River to the east, South Australia to the west and Elderslie Creek to the north beyond Casterton. No larger towns are contained within its boundaries. It was proclaimed in 1849."[Wikipedia]

It is interesting to note Mary did not marry until her mid 40s - did she perhaps prefer to remain a spinster since she was unable to marry or elope with her childhood sweetheart? The 'ravishment' was only 'attempted', so presumably she was not gotten with child as a result, with the subsequent social stigma}; shortly after the arrest warrant was issued, the accused was arrested in his home town:
"November 22nd, 1880. Alexander McGee is charged, on warrant issued by the Edenhope Bench, with attempting to ravish Mary Jane Follett, thirteen years of age, at Elderslie, sixteen miles from Edenhope, on the 4th instant.

Folletts of Brushford, Co Somerset & thence Australia

William and Ada arrived in Melbourne on the Chimborazo 26/6/1883, married but with no children.[48] Soon after arriving in Melbourne they relocated to Sydney. They evidently married days before emigrating to Australia. According to the 1871 census William was born in Co Devon, England, a claim repeated in the biography of his son, Frank William, however this conflicts details from other censuses which give his place of birth as Brushford, Co Somerset. The family was previously from Knowstone, Co Devon. Note that William's father was married in the South Moulton district, Co Devon, which includes the village of Knowstone. The IGI has the baptisms of John, s/o John & Ann, 5/2/1778, and John s/o Jonas & Cattern, 2/5/1777, both at Knowstone, Co Devon. Given that John, below, named his first two childtren John & Anne, the former baptism is more likely. William, baptised 1809, was another possible candidate for the William who emigrated to South Australia in 1840 on the Warrior, unfortunately William of Brushford was still in the district in 1851, so cannot be William of the Warrior.

Frank William Follett, born 27/3/1892, Marrickville, Sydney, NSW, Australia.[35,88] Died 25/10/1950, Vaucluse, Sydney, NSW, Australia.[35,88]
"Frank William Follett, aviator and aerial surveyor, was born on 27 March 1892 at Marrickville, Sydney, son of English parents William Follett, warehouseman from Devonshire and his wife Ada née Dodridge. Educated at Sydney Boys' High School, he joined the firm of Simpson Bros, engineers, in Sydney, and in May 1910 then joined the engineering department of the Metropolitan Board of Water Supply and Sewerage as a cadet draftsman and by 1916 was a compiling draftsman. Enlisting in the Australian Imperial Force in January 1916, Follett saw active service in France with the Australian Field Engineers and was later promoted sergeant and assistant technical warrant officer. After training with No. 29 Training Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, at Fern Hill, England, he was commissioned second lieutenant in the A.I.F. on 18 November 1917 and lieutenant in the Australian Flying Corps on 18 February 1918. In July 1918 in France with No. 2 Scouting Squadron operating out of Reclinghem (south-west of Aire) with S.E.5s, Follett saw much action harassing the enemy over the Lys in poor flying conditions. During the August Somme offensive his squadron helped reinforce British scouts in the Fourth Army and took part in the air-raids on Lille. In September he went back to No. 6 Training Squadron in England. Returning to Australia in June 1919, he resumed his pre-war job. On 24 April 1920 at St Paul's Catholic Church, Dulwich Hill, he married Helen Gertrude Molloy. On 2 February Follett was appointed superintendent of aircraft in the civil aviation branch of the Department of Defence under H.C. Brinsmead with headquarters in Melbourne; his work included the inspection of aircraft all over Australia and flight-testing new models. At Richmond, New South Wales, in December 1924, during Australia's first flying week for testing locally built low-powered aircraft, Follett flew departmental aeroplanes; he gained the highest number of points in the trials in a D.H.53 (but failed to beat Bert Hinkler's mileage record), and won the aerial Derby in a D.H.37. He resigned from the Defence Department in June 1929 and from July 1929 to August 1930 was manager and chief instructor of the (Royal) Aero Club of New South Wales at Mascot. In 1930 Follett founded Adastra Airways Pty Ltd which specialised in aerial surveying. In 1939, aware of the enormous potential in Australia and the lag in Australia's aerial mapping programme, he studied the latest techniques in England, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany, arriving home just before the outbreak of World War II. After the war the firm expanded. By 1949 it had the most sophisticated stereo-plotting equipment in Australia and received large government contracts including an 8000-square mile (21,000 square km) survey of the entire Darling River. Quiet, retiring and somewhat dour, Follett played a leading part in the development of aerial surveying and photogrammetry. His outside interests included tennis, boating, growing orchids and Legacy. He was a member of the Imperial Service Club of New South Wales and of the Royal Society of Arts, London. In 1935 he received the silver medal of the Royal Humane and Shipwreck Society. Follett died of heart disease at the wheel of his car outside his Vaucluse home on 25 October 1950 and was cremated with Presbyterian forms. He was survived by his wife; a daughter had predeceased him."[88]

Follett's of Sidmouth, Co Devon and environs

Sidmouth is a port on the southern coast of Devon, about 22 km east of Exeter. Salcombe Regis is a small village a few km to the east of Sidmouth. Topsham is a port in the mouth of the River Exe, just south of Exeter. Lyme Regis is on the Dorset side of the Devon-Dorset border and lies on the coast. This family of Follett's have been well-connected, containing many prominent figures. Most of them have also been quite wealthy, with the family being heavily involved in the merchant and marintine fields as far back as records go. This family has only a minor Australian connection, however some researchers have suggested William (born c.1805) who emigrated to South Australia in 1840 is connected to this family, possibly the William baptised 1808, below. This seems unlikely since William of the Warrior was an agricultural labourer, whilst the following family were ship owners, merchants, military officers and other somewhat more distinguished members of society than farm hands.

Folletts of Maine, USA & thence to New Zealand

The majority of New Zealand Follett's are descendents of Charles & Sarah Follett who settled in Marton, New Zealand. Charles was part of the South Petherton Follett family and his family can be found in the South Petherton Follett's, above. Another Follett family appears in New Zealand in the 1800s. Henry Benjamin Follett emigrated to New Zealand from the USA, probably in the late 1850s. Both [64] & [125] state Henry Benjamin died in New Zealand, however I have been unable to find any matching entry in the NZ BMD index. Henry apparently also used the surname Clark(e) and his death may be one of the many Henry Clark(e)s who died in New Zealand.

Apart from his baptism, nothing else is known of William. He is missing from the 1841 (and subsequent) census for England.

James John Beer, baptised 25/1/1836, St Paul's, Exeter, Co Devon, England.[73,74] Died 24/12/1903, Echuca, Victoria, Australia.[31,73,74] Cause of death was Bright's Disease.[74]
"Mr J. J. Beer. Just before midnight on Christmas eve Mr James J Beer, father of our highly respected townsman, Mr R E Beer, passed quietly away after an illness extending over six months, the last two months being confined to his bed. The end had been anticipated for some time, the sufferer having been under Ds, Eking and Kelly for treatment of Bright's disease. The deceased gentleman was a colonist of 64 years, being one of the pioneers of South Australia. He was born in Devonshire, England and sailed with his parents for Australia when three years old.  The family landed in Adelaide, which was then only a few canvas tents, and his father, a lock land bright-smith by trade, finding no opening in "canvas town" for such a trade, turned his attention to the blacksmithing business, which he followed with varying success for many years, and his young and only son, James assisted in the business from the time he was old enough to stand on a box to blow the bellows. He claims later on to have made the ironwork for the first successful stripper that ever worked in South Australia, or any other part of the world. This machine was pushed from behind by two bullocks. A good deal of their trade at that time consisted of shoeing, or, as they called it, "cuing" bullocks. As a child, with his parents, he witnessed the landing of the first horse in Adelaide. He was amongst the few at the time of memorable famine in Adelaide, and his father often told the story of the first flour miller coming to him and buying a bag of shrivelled wheat that had been kept for fowls feed, and paying him one guinea per bushel for it, and getting up steam at the mill for the express purpose of grinding that one bag of wheat. A ship laden with flour arrived at port just in time to save the people from starvation. Later on Mr Beer, with his father, uncle and cousin, came over to Victoria, overland, via 90 mile desert, with two bullocks in a dray, and tried their luck for some time on the Fryer's Creek diggings, after which he bought land in Clover's Forest (Tylden) Kyneton district, where they combined farming with their old business, blacksmithing. It is also said that Mr Jas. J Beer bought the first back delivery reaping machine ever delivered in Victoria. Mr Beer and his father also bought a steam threshing machine with which they were very successful in the early Goulburn and Kyneton districts. During his 15 years residence in Tylden he was connected with the Wesleyan denomination and a local preacher, taking as many as 20 services during some quarters and riding and sometimes walking many miles to conduct services. He used to go and take his appointment whether it rained or shined, as he said it was better for him to go and be disappointed at there being no congregation than for the congregation to go and be disappointed at there being no preacher. He then had the satisfaction that he had done his duty, whether the people came in the rain to hear him or not, and thus in that wet climate he had many long cold and wet rides, which he did cheerfully for the Master's cause. He went from Tylden to Tabilk, where he lived for three years and was on the preachers' plan again of the Wesleyan Church, after which he came and selected ground at Bunaloo, NSW, about 30 years ago, being on e of the first to settle in that district. He threw his house open for religious services and started preaching the Gospel all over that district holding services alternately in different houses in the district. Soon after the Bible Christian denomination opened up what is now known as the Wamboota circuit, and Mr Beer joined that church, and was actively engaged in the work for about 12 years, being circuit steward up to the time he left the district and went to Kyneton with his late wife for the benefit of her health, where he again joined the Wesleyan Church and was on the plan as local preacher for several years. Leaving there, he went to Castlemaine, where he lived until his wife died - 8 years ago. Since that time he had been living alternately with his married sons and daughters. He was closely connected with the local Bible Christian Church until the Methodist union took place, and he then threw in his lot with the united Methodists, with whom he was associated up to the time of his death. He was a local preacher up to about a year ago, when he had to abandon the work owing to the failure of his health. He was an active member of the Christian Endeavour Society, in which he took great interest, and it was a cause for great regret to him when his health broke down, rendering him unable to attend the meetings. By his kind and homely manner he gained for himself the highest esteem of all, both young and old, with whom he came in contact. He never entered upon public life outside the church, preferring rather to live a quiet, humble life. He will be greatly missed in church circles, as he was looked upon as a man with a great deal of experience in church matters. His age at the time of his death was 67 years and 11 months. He leaves a grown up family of two daughters and four sons to mourn their loss, who recognise that they have in him lost a good father and a wise counsellor. His body was interred on in Moama, New South Wales, Australia.(Echuca and Moama Advertiser, 12/1903)"[74]
