Brickwall - WILLIAMS : PETTINGALL

[avm228]

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

Charles Thomas Pettingal’s 1858 probate entry names his administrator as Charles Richard Pettingal (of Ramsgate) “the only child of the said deceased”.

His marriage to Jane Glover was at St Margaret’s, Westminster in 1806.

It’s puzzling not to be able to place Fanny Pettingal in this family.

Charles Richard Pettingal benefited from the will (proved in 1838) of his uncle George Hanbury Pettingal. Another legatee was “God-daughter” Julia Maria Pettingal, daughter of Chas Pettingal, foreign officer (his will, proved in January 1847, is also online - both he and Julia died in the Cape Verde Islands in late 1846).

You say in your opening post that Fanny's surname was Pettingall (learned elsewhere)!

Can you tell us the source of this?

The most likely candidate for someone of this name was the one born 1810 in Norfolk but ruled out because she was unmarried and still at home in 1851.   Others with this name were either too old or too young to have had a child in 1844.
