FAMILY GROUP RECORD OF
ROBERT GARRETT AND
ANNE COMBER


No christening record has been found for Elizabeth Garrett in Trysull or Kinver, but her brother-in-law, Richard Sturmey married Jane Garrett 29 October 1594 in Kinver. Thomas Sturmey married Elizabeth Garrett 21 February 1603 in Trysull after his first wife died. Garrett is not a common name in Trysull, and it is likely that Thomas married his sister-in-law's sister Elizabeth. Elizabeth is likely the daughter of Robert Garrett and Anne Comber, who are the only family having children in the parish at that time.


Robert Garrett was born in about 1540 of Kinver, Staffordshire. He married Anne Comber 31 January 1561 in Kinver. Anne was the daughter of William Comber and Joan Hacket of Kinver.
