Chesterton help
« on: Wednesday 21 July 10 07:45 BST (UK) »
Hello all
I'm looking for some help.

I found a Christening for William Pettit  01 JAN 1715   Chesterton, Cambridge on the IGI website the Father is William Pettit and mother is Susan. I have come to a head though. I can't seem to find ANYTHING for William and Susan.

I was wondering if someone would kindly look through the Chesterton parish records and see if there is a marriage or more births to William and Susan Pettit.

Thank you kindly
Emma

As Chesterton baptisms and marriages are extracted onto the IGI this is something you can do yourself - if you use http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyCambridge.htm#C you can isolate the Chesterton entries. There's a Susannah in 1718 and a possible Elizabeth in 1712.

A Susannah Pettit was buried on 22 Jan 1722 and there are then subsequent baptisms of children of William and Mary. Perhaps William remarried - to Mary Russell in 1723?
