Hi Newbie

Sorry didn't reply to you sooner, but many thanks for your help and websites.

I have searched the Commonwealth War graves commission site and did come up with some George Pettys but these were in the Royal Navy whereas the GP I am looking for was in the Merchant Navy.

I have not had chance to search the WW1 campaign medal cards but if I have any success I will let you know.

Many thanks again for your help.

Cheers

Hi

Many thanks to Newbie and Nicky for the replys to my posting with their advice.

To put you in the picture I am searching for James John Petty (Labourer) married to Frances Ellen Petty (Ne: Kemp) who were parents of William John Petty and George Petty.

All I have is William J Petty Birth Certificate giving info of the above and address as 12 Perry St Chatham Kent.  WJP born 30 Dec 1905.

James John and Frances Ellen died when William J was 10 (around 1915) but how I don't know.

George joined the Merchant Navy but died during WW1 but have no date.

I thought I had a lot of info to begin with but after searching some Kent sites and help with 1901 Census site from Chalky together with searching Cityark for Chatham and Rochester, found the surnames but can't confirm a definite find for birth death or marriage of James John Petty and Frances Ellen Petty.

Hope someone can help, and break down my brick wall.

Cheers

Hi

I have been trying to find info on James John Petty in Kent and now my searches have revealed a James Petty possibly born in Southampton in 1878. 

With help from Chalky and Rootschat, James Petty’s wife Frances had two sons Charles 1 yr and Albert 5wks.  This information came from the 1901 census and shows his age as 23 and Frances 28 and living in Chadwell St Mary Essex. James’ occupation - Dock Labourer.

Many, many thanks to Chalky and Rootschat for their website facilities.

I need to confirm whether this James Petty is the same person as James John Petty who I have been searching for in Kent.  I need to find his birth certificate to confirm his full name.  Can anyone please advise the best way forward?

Cheers, Pettyrose

Hi Honeybun

Thanks for your advice.  I have looked at the ordnance maps.  Patches has also very kindly sent me the maps. 

I have also checked the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and found a Petty but was a member of the services not Merchant Navy.

At the moment I am trying, very very patiently to search Cityark site, what a nightmare but will endeavour to complete my search.

Thanks very much for help

Cheers

Hi Patches

Many thanks for your message about Perry Street, I would be most interested to see the old map. 

I will check the Cityark site out.

Best of luck with the scanning but its not too bad, it depends on the software you use.

Thanks again

Pettyrose :)

Kent / William John Petty 12 Perry Street Chatham
« on: Friday 30 July 04 10:03 BST (UK)  »
Hello

I am trying to find info about William John Petty born 13 December 1905 addres 12 Perry Street Chatham. 

His parents: Ellen Frances Petty (Ne: Kemp) & James John Petty - Occupation: Labourer. Parents died around 1915 and William John Petty had to live with Aunt in East End London at age of 10. I have been unable to find marriage certificate which I had hoped would help.

His brother (must have been older) joined Merchant Navy but he died during WW1

Does anyone have any information about the property?  Old photos or maps?
Can anyone help with info about the Petty family in Kent.

I have found a George Edward Petty born March 1899 in Bromley but can't find connection to William James Petty yet.

Many thanks

 :)Hello Pauline

Thank you so much for your help.  I have searched the cwgc site and found four George Pettys but with different middle names.  No obvious information to make the connection to my William James Petty yet.

Thankyou again

Pettyrose :)

Hello again

Thank you for your assistance and the link, I have posted request on to the county board about Perry Street.  Hope its understandable.

Yes I do have WJP birth certificate and No, I have not searched for his brother's birth.  I am not sure when he was born or when he died.  All I know is that he joined the Merchant Navy and believe he died at sea and think this was in the War years.

Thanks again

Pettyrose
