Eacott Family - from Wiltshire

Eacott Family - from Wiltshire

Surnames: Eacott/Ecott/Ecutt/Hurdle/Haynes/Barnes/Cundick
Looking to contact descendants of Edward and Alice EACOTT who married in the parish of Sutton Veney, Wiltshire 3rd October 1763. Also the descendants of their son William EACOTT who married Sarah ?. Among the children of William and Sarah there was a William who immigrated to Canada (possibly went to America) in 1834. Thomas went to Australia in 1830, Joseph went to Australia about 1834. There were older children - John, Sarah and Harriett. Have most of the descendants of Thomas, but know very little about the others.

Chris, William Eacott and wife Sarah were famers in Westwood, Wilts. Children were James & Joseph. James stayed in Uk, while Joseph came to Tas in 1838. Married in 1851 in Tas.
William Eacott married Anne Watts in 1771, then Anne Phrias in 1779. That marriage produced a William born 1780 in Wilts, possibly Sutton Veny.

Hi Marilyn
Thank you so much for your interest and response. This is wonderful news. I have been looking for these children. I am determined now to obtain a copy of the Westwood Parish records and see if there were any more children and if I can discover Sarah's maiden name from a marriage record. My feelings are that Westwood is Sarah's home parish as William (husband) was born in Sutton Veny and there is no record of his marriage in Sutton Veny which means that they were married in the girl's parish which was the normal custom of the time - and still is today. He and Sarah did live in the parish of Sutton Veny (came back to William's home ground - also customary) and John, Sarah, Harriet and Thomas were christened there. I knew that there were other children from family folk lore which was that William had gone to America/Canada, and Joseph to Victoria. I only guessed that they might have been born in Westwood as I also found a Stephen christened there with parents William and Sarah. I have found records for a Joseph in Victoria, so learning that Joseph was in Tasmania has thrown me off track. Is it the same Joseph in both places? Are you related to this family in any way? and can you tell me more about Joseph? Look forward to hearing from you again.
Regards
Chris
