Pettitt relatives ?

[outlanderflower]

Hello.   My g-g-grandparents are Henry Percy Pettitt and Harriett Brook Foster.  They were married in 1873.  They had a son George who was born in 1871 before they were married.  My g-grandfather, Albert Edward, was born Aug. 18, 1876.  The 1881 census says he was born in 1871.  ( I have a copy of his b. certificate stating 1876).  Other children born to the marriage were Annie born abt. 1878, Nellie born abt. 1880, Herbert born abt. 1897 and died 1917,  Edith born abt. 1883, Emily born abt. 1890,  Ellen born abt. 1880,  Julia born abt. 1889,  William J. born abt. 1888.  Also possibly a Molly and Mary.  I have a Mary born abt. the same year as Edith.  They could possibly be the same person.
  My g-grandfather came to Canada.  He settled in Manitoba.  Many of his sisters moved to New York, USA.  I don't know if any of them married.  I also know nothing about William J. 
  I have info from the 1881 census. 

  If anyone out there has info for me, or may be related, I would love to hear from you.

This looks like Henry Percy in 1871, which ties in with his occupation in 1881.

Julia PETTITT went to the US a couple of times. Found her on the New York Passenger Lists.

First time left Southampton on 31 March 1923 on the Aquitania, arriving NY on 6 April 1923. She names her father as her nearest relative in the UK, Percy PETTITT, Hilden Dairy, London Rd. She went through customs on 7 April to meet her sister Ellen who was already there at 50 W 45th St.

She must have gone back to the UK at some stage as she was then supposed to be on the Ascania leaving Southampton for NY on 26 Mar 1927, but she did not go.

Left on Caronia from Liverpool on 9 Apr 1927 for NY, arriving on 18 Apr. Destination New Windsor.

Ellen first went to NY in 1908, then in 1922, 1928, and 1930. She was a nurse. Names her mother at Hilden Dairy, Tonbridge. Naturalised in 1928. Travelled from LA to NY in 1931 via Panama Canal. Still living at 50 W 45th St, NY.
