Hi Carol

I think John may have died as in 1871 Maria is down as a Widow.

Hi Carol

Is it them in 1871 in Bristol and he is listed as a "Customs Officer"??
If so, he could have been at sea/on a vessel..

If he was dead where did the other 3 Girls in 1881 come form. They all have the surname Pitt. There is however a 7 year gap between first and second child.
Um another family mystery.
Thank you for your help

Hi Carol

Have you found him in the 1841/51/61/71 Census'?

If so, what was his occupation and what specifically did he put for birth place?

Marriages Sep 1874
Pitt    Henry         St Saviour    1d   252   
Pitt    Maria         St Saviour    1d   252
1st child to John b 1868 John died 1869
2nd child to Henry b 1875. Maria and Henry married 1874.
