UNET,UNETT FAMILY OF MATHON IN THE 1600'S

Submitted by Thewinkler on Sun, 21/02/2010 - 00:00

I am searching for any information re the Unet/Unett family who lived in Mathon in the 17th century and perhaps well before. They are my direct ancestors.

My first record is of a Richard Unett, married before 1654 to an Elizabeth in Mathon. Both buried at Mathon 1660/61. Their son, also Richard Unett, was a minor in 1660/61 and was buried at Mathon in 1693. He was married to Elizabeth James who was buried at Mathon in 1694. Their son, Peter Unett, was baptised at Mathon in 1665. He was married and died at Tredington, so must have left the immediate area after his marriage. I see the name Richard Unett and a surname James in the Parish Accounts of 1647. Has anyone any further information re this family?  I would also be interested to know if they have any connection to the Unetts of Castle Frome, where there is a memorial in St.Michael's church to the family, which states that one of the sons is a Richard Unett.

Thankyou so much for allowing me on to this wonderful site. Even if I do not get any replies I am most enlightened as to the village of Mathon and its history due to your efforts. Regards Pauline (nee Unitt) Melbourne Australia

Hi Pauline,

I wrote down some information on the Unett family when I was
researching the possibility of being descended from an Edmund Unett of Mathon. I found
the following information:

I think that the Richard Unett (married before 1654 ) you
mention was married to Elizabeth Wood. I have found two Christening  records that may be this Richard and I had
made a note of it. Unfortunately this was some time ago and I did not write
down where I found this information. One of the possible Richard’s I found was
christened in 1622 the son of Richard Unett and Elizabeth Elton and the other
christened in 1624 the son of William Unett and Anne Elton. I think that
Richard and William may be descended from the Castle Frome Unetts. I think they
may have been the sons of Francis Unett and Jane Geers. They also had another
son called John. This Francis Unett may have been the son of Wm. Unett and
Marjory Jones. There is a Unett tree posted on the Webb that has a lot of
information. Perhaps you have seen it. It shows the decendents of John Unett
and Elizabeth Brace. There are photographs on Genuki Herefordshire pages
showing the monuments in St. Michael’s church Castle Frome.

Perhaps you could check out some of this.

Hope this is of some help.

Regards.

They also i think are something to do with Bank Farm...........not been looking for the last 2 yrs but if you find June Harwood B&B site its got Bank Farm and Laytons history and it might be there or it in a family history site which someone put on line but i can't remember how to find it at the moment but just try typing in the surname and see what comes up.RegardsDebi
