hi Tati  thanx ever so much for that info very interesting and helpful thanx again

[hdbowman]

hi Tati  the only info I have is that NATHAN PETTIT was married to  ELIZABETH SYER whilst living in GRANGETOWN  ESTON  and they had a daughter Elizabeth Ann Pettit(my grandma)b11/10/1882  all very new to me as I only began my search about two weeks ago  the SYER family I am finding difficult  but will get there eventually  )

[Tati]

I believe he was married before, in Littleport? Also, he had more children than that - not sure if you know?

From Boyds marriage index


1836 / PETTET  JAMES / BUTCHER  HANNAH  /LITTLEPORT 


A likely Butcher one, but can't be sure and needs checking.

1798 / BUTCHER  RIC/  CRABB  MARY  /LITTLEPORT 

[Tati]

These seem to be Nathan's 2 marriages:

Nathan Pettett to Eliza Annetta Hiblen or Elizabeth Purday
(Death Dec 1872 Ely 3b 358 Eliza Pettet age 27)
