Richard - hate to disagree about the Flemish origin. Actually I think that the Lasletts went from Sandwich to The Netherlands in the 1600s where they became Lazets. I think that the Lasletts are from Cheshire. All my Laslett genealogies go back to Roger Laslett of Harbledown in Kent who in 1586 in a dispute stated he was ‘Roger Lacelett of the parish of Harbledowne where he has lived for the space of forty years or thereabouts originated in the parish of Namptwhich in the county of Chester aged about Lxxvij years…’ and ‘that his … brother was farmer of the parsonadge of Harboldowne abowte five and thirty yeeres agoe by the space of three yeares and before him his father with both which persons this deponent did dwell and yearlie in Chery tyme did fett cheryes in the name of tith cherryes from the saide parcell of gownde called the Cherry Garden and hee saith that since that tyme hee hath knowen the farmers of the saide parcell of grownde yearlie pay their tenthes and tithes …’ In the Canterbury City Plea Rolls there is an item dated 17 Aug 1562 for papers covering a law case in which William Stephen sued Anthony Moswell, yeoman and his wife Katherine concerning the cherry garden. On 1 October 1562 there is an entry that John Lacye was bound on a recognizance of £10 to give evidence. One is tempted to think that John Lacye may be either Roger’s father of brother. Unfortunately the papers appear not to have survived but I can give you copies of the 1586 ones. Cheers. Gordon Lasslett
