1851, 1861 and 1871 - Pitt COMPLETED

[Ewan]

You have got your drawers in a bit of a twist Liz, but that is hardly surprising with my lot is it?

Ann's first husband was called Daniel and he was a very naughty man when he stole an 'orse from a Mr Wetmacott in Wiltshire during 1841.  Shelah is their second eldest son as far as I know.

That is a bit of a b.m is it not? finding a Seth Pitt on the 1841 like that, good on you Liz for finding it as it does eliminate him from the equation, but it takes me back to looking for Luke Pitt again.  I don't know everything tied in nicely then.

Sorry - but the principal is the same, just that I got the name wrong (Daniel not Shelah for the dad, I havent quite got your tree at my fingertips like Carol has!!!!!!).
But still looks like children from Nathaniel downwards are Mr Shepherds....

Out of interest, I am looking at these Pitts too, Harriet Luvy Pitt married George Henry Flowers.
George amonst others is father of Hilda Rose & Joan Kathleen. These two girls have married two brothers - Robert & Ronald Wright. R & R are my wife's uncles, so that's why I'm interested.

Your thread seems to be following what I've been looking at

Did Ann the wife of Daniel Pitt then marry Thomas Toy?
I have Shelah Pitt as the father on Harriet Pitt 28/9/1879, with Ann Robinson as mother. Father is a Hawker Living at 1 Henrietta Place Hammersmith.
I also have copy marriage of Nathaniel Pitt age 21 of Wood St, Chiswick (father Daniel Pitt, labourer deceased) to Elizabeth Cotton age 20 of Bennett St Chiswick, fatgher John Cotton (labourer deceased) witnesses Richard Deade & Martha.
Also marraige cert Shelah Pitt to Ann Robinson 25/11/21856 at St Stephens, Hammersmith. Shelah is Fishmonger. Both living at 4 Plantation Place. Father David Pitt, Labourer & James Robinson Coachman - both deceased. Witnesses George Lay & Fanny Pitt
Also marriage of Thomas Toy 14/2/1858 to Ann Pitt, widow. Thomas also widower. Living at Kensal Rd. Fathers Joseph Toy & Henry Lewis, both Labourers. Witneeses George Smith & Hannah Smith X her mark.
also marriage of George Lay to Martha Pitt of 6 Plantation Place. fathers John Lay, gardener & Daniel Pitt deceased, witnesses John Lay & Frances Lay X her mark
I hope this information is useful.

Roger( or should I call you Daisy  )

I'm sure Ewan will be over the moon when he hears he has an ally.

Liz and I have been helping him with his Chiswick/Wiltshire Lewis's for ages.

I hope he comes back online soon to hear the good news.

All the best

Thanks Carol.
I notice too that Richard Deade (the witness) lived couple doors away in Wood St, Chiswick 1851 (father Lawyer)
Also Cottons lived next door in 1841 (nathaniel & Elizabeth)

Fascinating trail to these.

I had a red herring, family legend says Archie Pitt was related (married Gracie Fields the singer nee Stansfield but als not so)

I am also interested in ROGERS lines. My mum was one, sister in law has one and other cousins too - three Rogers lines!

Whereabouts are yours from?

Although I am no expert on this, I don't think that the younger children on the 1851 showing an Ann Pitt are the children of James Shepherd.  Ann is later living with her mum and step dad, Mr Toy, James is in the Navy, so can't clarify him and Louise is the daughter of Martha Pitt, shown on the 1861 with Martha and her sister Fanny.

Roger, your information is very interesting and it is funny I know Wood Street and Bennett Street from when I was younger.  I will pm you later.
