Any info on Hugh Fleet from Manchester. My granddad George Fleet was his son, who I believe had eleven brothers and two sisters. One brother Frank was killed in the First World War, others may have been as well. I think the area of Manchester they lived in was called Openshaw.
Any info will be very welcome.
Thank you.

In my database I have a
Albert FLEET
married 23 Dec 1875, Ecum Secum Nova Scotia
to Nancy Hudson.
He is the son of John Jacob FLEET & Ann Pye
I have his ancestry back to abt 1750

I to am trying to find info. on my father's family. Did any of your Fleet families come to Nova Scotia, Canada ? My g-grandfather's name is George Albert Fleet b.1850 Where I don't know. My father's name was also George Albert. I can't seem to get any info on these Fleet's. I'm thinking may be they come from another country. I heard a rumor that the name use to be Van Fleet, and they dropped the Van. If and when I don't know. Can you help?

Hi Maxine,
I am not aware of any of my Fleet family going to Nova Scotia. I have traced my lot to the mid 1800's in Manchester England, and before that I think they were from Nantwich Cheshire, but I have yet to prove that.
The name Fleet is a very old English name, the family originated in either Hampshire or Kent, there is a place called Fleet in Hampshire.
Van Fleet is an entirely different family I believe.

My mother's father was Garfield Hayes Fleet, who married Laura Evelyn Marks, in Ship Harbour, NS, on Mar 14, 1912.

I cannot locate Garfield Hayes Fleet's parents' names. Garfield had two brothers, Timothy and Rueben, and two sisters who died early in life.

Do you have any information that could help me?

Hi,

I'm only interested in anybody whose descended from the children of Hugh and Ann Fleet of Manchester, England.

We are an English family, no Van Fleets please.

It seems to be 10 years since my origional post.
In 1999 when I made my origional post I was just starting our on my journey into family history.

My journey has now taken me down further avenues, and I admit that some of my origional information was wrong, it is now correct as far as I am aware, and I am now writing this to correct my earlier posting.

My g grand parents were Hugh and Ann Fleet who had 12 children, my grand father being their son George who married Annie Elizabeth Potter.

I would be interested in hearing from serious family historians, descended from Hugh and Ann who resided in Manchester, England in the latter part of the 19th century, and who both died in the early 20th century.
No time wasters please.
