~ Jane Purchase b:- 1780c
I'm researching the line of Jane PURCHASE and Adam FOLLETT, and need some information about Jane.
The 1841 census enumeration indicates she was born in Dorset about 1780. She married Adam FOLLETT on 19 November 1806 in Netherbury, Dorset.
At this time I'm still searching for Jane's parents.
Thank you!

Re: Jane Purchase (born about 1780 in Dorset, UK) married Adam Follett in 1806 in Netherbury
I can confirm that your Jane was not Jane Purchase baptised 17 May 1784 at Puncknowle Dorset, daughter of Richard Purchase (1757-1834) and Elizabeth [nee Prince] (1762-1841), as that Jane married William Haggett (1786-1860) on 1 Feb 1814 at Haselbury Plucknett, Somerset, had 5 children and died 4 June 1879 at Llandenny Monmouthshire. This Jane's grandfather John Purchase (d 1781) had property in Netherbury, though he died in Swyre. Richard Purchase had a younger sister Jane b 1762, and it is possible that one of his brothers may have had a daughter Jane as well. It may be worth investigating what happened to a child of Edward Purchase and Hannah [nee Tett] baptised 4 June 1777 at Askerswell, who I have recorded as Jenny, as her parents had married at Netherbury in 1769, and there were Tett relatives remaining in Netherbury. Her sister had married in Netherbury in 1797 and remained there. Are there witnesses listed for the wedding?

Thank you, Jeff! It's just as helpful to know who weren't her parents as it is to know who were.
A researcher has posted on World Connect that this particular Jane Purchase was the daughter of Edward Purchase and Hannah Tett. No sources, but, there it is. Unfortunately, the only parish record information available to me at this time is an index/extract, so I don't have the names of the witnesses of Jane Purchase's marriage to Adam Follett.
Again, thank you for the reply and the helpful information!

Re: Jane Purchase b:- 1780c
Hi Juli, I can confirm that Jane Purchase was born 1777 in Askerwell, Dorset. They married in Netherbury, Dorset on 19th Nov 1806. I'm afraid I have no info on witnesses. I am the Gt, Gt Grandson of their son - Gaius Follett 1813-1865 & Mary Sprake 1813-1872, hence the surname, Sprake-Follett. Would love to hear from you as I have quite a bit of info on them, along with photos of the church window commemorating Gaius & Mary. They are also mentioned in my Family Bible along with Adam Follett and Jane. Yours: Peter Jon Sprake-Follett

Re: Jane Purchase b:- 1780c
Edward PURCHASE b abt 1844 seems to have been the son of John PURCHASE and Edith (BARTLETT)and to have died in Netherbury 1829, buried 24 April 1829. Hannah TETT b abt 1739 seems to have been the daughter of William TETT abt 1698-1768 and Mary (SHARP) of Wayford SOM abt 1699-1769. Hannah's sister Ruth married Edward's brother John.
I am virtually certain that Alice PURCHASE, older sister of this Jane, who married her first cousin Job TETT in Netherbury in 1797, was my 5G grandmother. Netherbury registers showed witnesses at the time. There is an efficient OPC for Netherbury on the Dorset OPC web site, who may be able to advise of the witnesses to the marriage of Jane and Adam FOLLETT. I think the transcription of the registers is now on Findmypast. There is a TETT surname mailing list on Yahoo. If Juli or Peter wants to contact me directly for more info on this and related families, my email address is readily found on the Glamorgan Rootsweb mailing list archive. Several relevant wills are on the National Archives web site. Jeff Coleman

Re: Jane Purchase b:- 1780c
Dear Peter
Mary Sprake who married Gaius Follett is my husbands 2nd great grand aunt. I have over the last year found many members of the Sprake family and like us are still farming in Dorset. We have looked in the graveyard at Netherbury churchbut did not find anything. Is the church window you talk about in netherbury church. would love to know if you have any photos of family members too.
