Jeremiah Sackett, master tailor of Ramsgate, Kent, son of John Sackett and Catherine Andrews, was born in St John in Thanet, KentG, on 9 January 1775 and baptized there on 29 January 1775.1 He died aged 72 in RamsgateG on 2 March 1847.2,3 He married at St Peter in ThanetG on 13 April 1797, Sarah Hodgeman, daughter of Thomas Hodgeman and Mary Cock.4 Jeremiah was also a witness on the same day to the marriage of Elizabeth Hodgman and Thomas Hope. It would appear that Sarah and Elizabeth were sisters who had arranged a double wedding. Sarah was baptized at St Peter in ThanetG on 4 July 1779.5 She died aged 71 in RamsgateG on 8 July 1850.6
     Jeremiah was apprenticed to master tailor William Blackburn of St Peter in ThanetG on 30 January 1790. He completed his apprenticeship by 1799 when he, in turn, took on an apprentice.7
     Jeremiah was named as a beneficiary in his father's will made in St Peter in Thanet, KentG, on 26 April 1823. A loan of £100 received from his father was waived.8
     In 1840 Jeremiah was trading as a tailor at 26 Harbour Street, RamsgateG.9
     In 1841 Jeremiah was living at Harbour Street, RamsgateG, and was recorded in the census as Jeremiah Sackett, a tailor, aged 65 and born in Kent. Living with him were his wife Sarah, 61, and their children, William, 30, Eliza, 23, and Mary, 22, and granddaughter, Sarah Bayley, aged 12. Also in the household was a female servant, Sarah Hope, who was perhaps related to Jeremiah's sister-in-law, Elizabeth.10
     Jeremiah made his will in RamsgateG on 24 February 1825, naming as beneficiary his wife Sarah.11 He left her all his real and personal estate. The will was proved on 6 May 1847.
