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

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