William Kett (born 1862), carpenter and farmer according to the 1911 census, was the son of Esau Kett and Susannah (nee Grainge). Susannah was already a widow in 1871; Esaw[u] does appear in the 1861 census where his birthplace is stated as Wymondham in Norfolk and his year of birth can be inferred as 1839. However, there seems to be no evidence to link him closely with the Kett family of Rattee and Kett  with whom he must have come into contact in Cambridge at this time.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
