Williams/Pettingal
« on: Saturday 05 May 07 00:30 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

I need help with two families that might actually be one.

Edmund Lewis ROGERS married in Invercargill in 1865 to Fanny Frederica Rosina WILLIAMS born abt 1844 daughter of George and Fanny WILLIAMS. George's occupation shown as 'Army'
Fanny Frederica Rosina WILLIAMS was baptised 1849 St Marys Newington, Surrey.
I don't find a family in the 1841, 1851 or 1861 census that could definitely be this one.

A witness to the marriage of Edmund and Fanny FR was Eliza PETTINGAL.

In the 1864 Harnetts Dunedin Directory under Invercargill is a Mrs Pettingal Great North Rd.....Ladies School.
I have Eliza PETTINGAL buried in Invercargill with the ROGERS family at age 60 on 14 Nov 1871. Plot: 1/13

Fanny Frederica Rosina ROGERS (WILLIAMS) in the Wise Directory 1899 as a Professor of Dance.

I have also found a Frederica WILLIAMS buried in Invercargill common ground.

Please can anyone help me with more information about Eliza Pettingal, Frederica WILLIAMS and Fanny Frederica Rosina WILLIAMS.

I don't know when or how they got to NZ.
I'm hoping that somehow finding more info any info on them will uncover a connection and I'll then be able to unravel the family.

Please can anyone help .....  I desparately need it.

Thank you

Cya
Lynn

Sure a real job would be nice,
but it would interfere with my genealogy.

Hi Lyn

I’ve been going round and round in circles and came across this posting of yours from 2005.

Hi All,
I'm really needing some help Please!
I've looked through LDS, Free BDM and Ancestry Uk. Now unless I'm completely daft I can't find this family. Can't find them on a census either. Here's what I have been given - none of this can I verify
Fanny Frederica Rosina WILLIAMS born 13 May 1846 Newington, Surrey to George WILLIAMS and Fanny ???? maybe PETTINGALL. Fanny Frederica Rosina was baptised 1849 at St Mary's Newington, Surrey
George was born abt 1815 and married abt 1840 to Fanny PETTINGALL who was born abt 1820.
At the time of the baptism George was in the Army and they lived at Berkley Street, Grosvenor Square, London
At the time of his daughters marriage in 1865 the family was in New Zealand.
Oh I lie....I have the marriage certificate for Fanny Frederica Rosina WILLIAMS to Edmund Lewis ROGERS in Invercargill New Zealand and her baptism certificate.
I'm hoping some-one can help me with the WILLIAMS/PETTINGALL
Thanks
Lynn

There is more/slightly different information on this post on British-Genealogy.
As you didn’t post all the above info and dates on RootsChat, can you confirm that you have proved them incorrect??

Thanks
Bren.
