Can you tell us what year sidney was born, and any ideas where?

We might be able to give you some candidate names, but you will need the 1924 marriage cert to confirm

I have Fuller in my grandmother's tree from the 19th century, and though not yet recorded Pettit is also one of the surnames in my very extended tree from Bottisham/Lode.
