Do you have any of the birth certs for Edmund and Fanny's children born after 1875?  This would at least give her place of birth which could be anywhere in the world if her father was in the army.

I am unsure if Mrs PETTINGAL was actually a Mrs or Miss, her death cert might state her marital status.  Fanny ROGERS took over the school after Eliza's death.

This man John George Pettingale was actually bp.24/10/1808 West Bilney, Norfolk, son of George (a farmer) and Mary.   He did indeed have the sisters named, Fanny actually baptised as Frances on 30/4/1810.

However, this Fanny was still at home with widowed father George plus 4 sisters, on 1851 census at Fulmodeston cum Croxton, Norfolk - all 5 sisters unmarried  - so she can't be the lady married to George Williams.

Yes, I saw that the girls were all still at home and unmarried.  That would have been too easy 

Seeing that Fanny and Edmund had a daughter named 'Eliza Barrett',  there was a marriage in 1830 at St Martin in the Fields, London, between a Charles Richard PETTINGAL and Eliza Best BARRETT.  Witnesses were Charles Th. PETTINGAL and Jane PETTINGAL.

Charles may have died in 1883 but I can't spot him on any census before 1881.

Charles Thomas was the father of Charles Richard and was born in Leighton Buzzard. He was a clergyman and died in 1858.
