I am researching the Family name "UPCOTT" in the USA and in Canada, focusing in on Essex County - Gosfield and Mersa Township. Hot Items: Information on a Thomas Upcott who married a Rachel Hickmott somewhere around 1870-1880. Also looking for Information on John Ridge Upcott who was born in England, 21 March 1778. He arrived in Essex County in the 1830's.

Dear Jim, My mother was born an Upcott in Ontario. She had brothers and a sister although I do not know too much about the family at this time I beleive we may be talking about the same family because as far as I can disearn there was only one Upcott clan in the county. Please e-mail me at mykell@telusplanet.net if you think there is a possibility.

It did not occure to me to mention that my mothers family is from Chattam(?) My Grand parents died in 1974 and 1975 respectively and my aunt died fairly recently of Diabetes complications. My mother is Beatrice and I have 4 older brothers although the family says that since one was adopted by my aunt he is more a cousin than a brother.I know my mother had one or two brothers> I am not sure as I do not recall meeting them but I think their names were William and Robert.

Hi Jim & Laurie, I am researching the Hickmott family and am gathering information on all descendants of the first Hickmott to arrive in Canada. That is William Hickmott & Elsie Prosser. It is believed, but not proven completely (although I believe there is enough evidence to say that Rachael was their daughter) that William and Elsie had a daughter Rachael who married Thomas Upcott and I am trying to find all their descendants. I have considerable information that I will be glad to share with both of you. It is on the Family Tree Maker program and I can forward it to you if you are interested. I would also like to know where you connect on the "Upcott Limb". Look forward to hearing from you both.

Linda, Sorry I had no previous way to access your post as I haven't been on for awhile. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. All i know as of yet is that my grandfather was Robert Clayton Upcott. born in the early 1900 or the late 1800's. Do not know yet if he is from Canada or England or where. He lived with my grandmother, Irene Wells-upcott in Essex county Ontario.
