Hi
I Would like to establish a link with the above surnames if i can, for the last 12 years i have been researching the surname Prettyjohns from the South Brent and Ugborough areas of Devon.

I have ONE girl named Prettyjohn who married a second cousin (once removed) of mine. I found this info about the name and the source at the bottom.
Researching variants spelling name of
prettyjohn/prettejohn/petheyjohn/peatheyjohns and patheyjohn
Areas of interest are south brent,ugborough kingsbridge/thurlestone, stokenham/lplymouth
Any information regarding this Devon family would be much appreciated
-----------------------------
Have done quite a bit of research on the Pettijohn/Pettyjohn/Petitjean/Pethyjohn/Prettyjohn/Perrigin families.
They are all from the same ancestor. Alternatively, you can probably request a copy of Les Petitjeans, The Voyage to Turtle Island, from your public library.
-----------------------------------------
In the family tree I have the surname Patey and Prettyjohn(both Huguenot), the latter being a corruption of Petit Jean or "Little John".

some of this could already be yours - the first statement is asking the same questions as this thread.

Hi Wendy
Thanks for all your help in the past, I am retiring next year so if you want any research done at the Devon Record Office please email me. I too would like to find a connection with the Prettyjohns.

I found a record of a Nicholas Kingswell Prettyjohn in a divorce case in South Africa in 1923 - his wife being Alice nee Charman.
There is a record for the birth in 1914 in Camberwell of a Marjorie Prettyjohn, with mothers maiden name Charman, and Ive just found a google entry for what looked like the death of Marjorie Droomer in 2008 (nee Prettyjohn) with a dob that matches. Unfortunately this is a dead link.
I know there have been two possible Nicholas K Prettyjohns - born in 1872 and 1895. I suspect the one in the divorce case is probably the 1872 Nicholas but can't be certain.
Does anyone know anything about any of the people mentioned above - especially Alice Charman
