Barzillai Sackett, yeoman of St Lawrence in Thanet, son of Vincent Andrews Sackett and Elizabeth Cock, was born in St Peter in Thanet, Kent, in 18441 and baptized at St Peter's Church on 12 May 1844.1 He died aged 74 in Thanet in 1918.2 He married at Zion Chapel, Margate, Kent, in 1866, Sarah Walker Harlow, daughter of Edward Harlow and Ann Harlow.3 Sarah was born in Minster, Kent, in 18424 and died aged 80 in Thanet in 1922.5
     In 1851 Barzillai was living in the Hamlet of Northwood, St Peter's, Thanet, Kent, and was recorded in the census as Barzillai Sackett, a scholar, aged six and born in St Peter's, the son of Vincent A Sackett.6
     In 1861 he was living at Northwood, St Peter's, Kent, in the household of his father Vincent Sackett and mother Elizabeth Cock, and was recorded as B Cox, niece [of head of household Vincent Sackett], a servant, aged 17 and born at Canterbury, Kent. [It is assumed that this entry refers to Barzillai on the basis that it would be expected that he would be found in this household. If this is so then it would appear that the enumerator incorrectly copied some data from the record for E Cox on the line above. If the record refers to some other relation of Elizabeth, then Barzillai's record remains not found.]7
     In 1871 he was living at 4 Northwood Lane, St Lawrence, Kent, and was recorded as Barzilla Sackett, a farmer of 25 acres employing one man, head of household, married, aged 27 and born in St Lawrence. Living with him were his wife Sarah, aged 28 and born in Minster, Kent, and their children, Vincent (3), and Arthur (1).4
     In 1881 he was living at 1 Northwood, St Lawrence, Kent, and was recorded as Barzilla Sackett, a farmer of 34 acres employing three labourers, head of household, married, aged 37 and born in St Lawrence. Living with him were his wife Sarah, aged 38 and born in Minster, Kent, and their children, Vincent, 13, Arthur, 11, Rose, 8, Florence, 7, and Emily, aged four.8
     In 1891 he was living at West Northdown, Margate, Kent, and was recorded as Barzillai Sackett, a farmer (master), head of household, married, aged 47, and born in Ramsgate. Living with him were his wife Sarah, aged 48, and born in Minster, and their children, Vincent (23), Florrie (17), and Ada (14).9
