I used to add people to this page who wanted to get in touch with other
Bluetts in the world. I have attempted to obfuscate the email addresses on this page, so that they
are not easily picked up by scripts that take email addresses from sites, please mail me if there are any problems.
I have a sister called Christine and my father is called
Robert, who divorced my mother and married to Sue. My grandfather on my
father's side is called Dennis, and is married to Joan. My grandfather's
brother settled and married in Canada and had three daughters who have their
own children (not called Bluett).
I'm from a large family, I have 3 brothers and 9 sisters. I'm married & have 4 children (3 daughters and 1 son). I live just outside Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I have been doing some researching of my family tree. See my
webpages of what I've found so far. If anyone has information to add to my tree, I'd be very pleased to hear from
them.

Greetings all Bluetts (and other spellings!) everywhere.
I and my branch of the family are in the Forest of Dean, West
Gloucestershire, England.
My Father is Raymond V Bluett of Newnham on Severn,
Gloucestershire, my grandfather, Frank Bluett was a fish merchant
locally after his return from
WWI in France (volunteered whilst under age and gassed on the
Somme). I understand that the first "English" Bluett was Walter,
Lord of the Manor of
Raglan & Daglingworth, illegitimate half brother to William the
Conqueror! I also know lots of us were transported to the new
world (Aus & NZ etc.) after
stealing sheep to save us from starving when the mining industry
faltered in the 18th/19th centuries.
There are also apparently Bluetts in Buenos Aires (along with lots
of descendants of Welshmen who went to mine silver etc in
Patagonia) and as far
flung in the US as Alaska. Contacts welcome
I am Jennifer, wife of the son of the late Dr. Thomas Byron Bluett (1931-1995).
The fun part about this, is that my husband's information was gathered by the
former Governor of Wisconsin, Lee Dreyfuss, who was the first cousin to my
deceased father in law (his mother was a Bluett).

Since finding your bluett.com website I have had a great deal of pleasure
reading the other Bluett's contributions.
My particular interest is in how to obtain a record of the ship the Lady
Kennaway that sailed from England for Tasmania / Van Diemen's Land on
September 10, 1834 as I believe that my great-great grandfather John Bluett
/ Blewett? may have been on board as a convict?
My paternal lineage is as Follows:
Father: David Walter Bluett (still living aged 85)
Grandfather: Walter James Bluett
Great Grandfather: James Bluett Jnr. so it is confusing if he was James Jnr
how could his father be called John? It may be possible that his father's
name was James.
I would really appreciate it if one of the Bluett's could provide me with
some information.
I did try to use the form provided on the website but for some reason it
would not send.
I was born at Tasmania but now live in Western Australia.
Sincerely,
Ron Bluett
P.S. It is amazing how the common names like Walter, James etc keep on being
used.

My father's name is Robert Earl Bluett. He had two brothers John Edward, and Kenneth Bluett. All of them have left us.
Their Father's name was John Edward and married to Jenni (detail removed). (In Chicago, Illinois) John had a sister named Olive who moved
to California, she had a son named George Riddle and I think he had a son named Scott. Olive and John's fathers name was Robert
Bluett and married Ellan Eagan she had a twin brother and was 1 of 8 kids. I was told they came from Limerick but I have no
paper trace of that. Any help would be great!! THANKS

Well I've discovered the Bluett Family Website and would like to add
to it. I was born Janet Bluett, the youngest daughter of Richard Bluett
and Gertrude {detail removed} . I had 4 sisters and 1 brother. My father was
the youngest son of Henry Peter Bluett who came to N.Z. in the constabulary
in the 1800"s He was known as Captain Bluett. He met and married my
grandmother Mereaira who was a N,Z, Maori. They had a large family only
which 7 lived to have issue. Very little was known about my grandfather as
he died in the early 1900's when my father was very young. He apparently
came from either Wales or England and is mentioned in some history books, I
am very interested to connect with any other Bluett's who may know more
about him. My father Richard married an English woman named Gertrude Ann
Priest whom he met when serving in the first World War. She was from
Twyford in Berkshire. They came back to N,Z. and farmed at Ohope Beach
where they lived out their lives and raised their family of 6 children- Richard Frederick,
Eleanor Ellen, Joan Laura, Barbara Ann, Margaret Betty, and myself Janet
Alice. I married Robert Thatcher and have 6 children. One son Barry is at
present in England working up in Manchester. He is moving down to London at
the end of March. My eldest daughter Karen and her husband will be in
England in June holidaying. If you would like to meet her she is most
interested. My grandfather is a bit of a mystery so any links we can find
would be most helpful.. Would like to hear from any interested person. Kia Ora Janet

Kia Ora, I descend from Charles Blewitt (my 3x gt grandfather) born in
Essex 1825 and came to New Zealand with the 65th Regt. His father was a
W.Blewitt. He had 3 children in NZ with the two boys dying young. I descend
through his daughter Annie Walker Blewitt. He left NZ with the Regt in the 1860's
and retired to South Kensington dying there as Major-General Charles Blewitt in
1907. We understand he had another family on his return to England, with one of
his sons Charles Oakes Bates Blewitt dying in South Africa 1901. There were other
children to his 2nd marriage but I have no idea who they are. Any help

William writes:
With reference to your website, on which Peter Bluett of Victoria,
Australia, has posted his family history, I wish to state that I have
reviewed the material which he has provided there, in which he states that
he has "traced (his family) back 9 generations to the Bluetts of Limerick".
He pinpoints the townland of Baggotstown as the place of origin.
As a result of my review I am able to provide some comments. It would seem
that Peter's information is based on some records from New Zealand, but
mainly on oral history heard in Limerick which pinpoints Baggotstown as the
place of origin. Having carefully examined the evidence I am satisfied that
his information is not accurate. I believe that the Patrick John Bluett of
New Zealand, ancestor of Peter, is not the Patrick Bluett who was baptised
in the parish of Knockainy in 1859. I have checked out the story and find
that it doesn't tally with other records relating to the Bluetts of
Baggotstown. In fact, as a result of my fact-finding, it would seem that
Peter's ancestor, Patrick John Bluett, was born in Co. Cork It may be
possible for Peter to gain further information on the origins of his
ancestor. If he can locate the civil death records of Patrick John Bluett
and/or Margaret Carey, they should provide him with the names of each of
their parents and their place of birth. This should confirm the Irish
origins of his ancestors.
If anyone has any comment to make, I would be very happy to hear from them.
He goes on to write:
On the Bluett.com (Links related to Bluett.com home page), Noel Bluett of Cairns, Australia, states that his grandfather Patrick John Bluett
(1853?-1919) is the son of Richard Bluett and Ellen Clifford of Baggotstown (my great-grandparents).
I have investiged this conflict of evidence and have discovered that Noel Bluett's claim is grossly inaccurate.
All official records in NZ and Australia show that Patrick John Bluett was born in Cork and his parents' names were John Bluett and Elizabeth Fitzgerald.
