Back to James Pettigrue, Jr., i.e. James Justin Pettigrue who married Eliza McCann.
The couple had several children, of which I found births for:
30 Sep 1864, James Thomas
12 Feb 1867, Mary Anne Charlotte Elizabeth
5 Sept 1868, Euphemia McCartney
6 June 1872, Eliza Matilda
3 Aug 1875, Frederick William, b. at White Quarry, Ardbraccan
29 Nov 1876, George Edward
4 July 1878, Francis James
11 July 1880, Robert Theophilus
In most of the birth records the father's occupation is builder. In the 1872 record his occupation is house builder. In the 1878 record his occupation is stone cutter. In the 1880 record his occupation is builder and farmer.
Before Robert T. was one year old, the family pulled up stakes and emigrated to Canada.
