Duffields and Pettits of Sheffield

[claire bhela]

Good people of Brit Gen, please help me.

I have recently received the marriage cert of the named above, Which prompted my search on the Pettits side.
i have the following info on Amelia Ann Pettit b 1892
her father was a farmer John and in 1913 they lived at 139 Allen St, Sheffield.
on the marriage cert one of the witness is a Lily Maud Pettit (poss sister)

I am really struggling with finding any Census on them, be it Find my past or Ancestry.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks

John William Clingo is also one of the Witness on the Mar Cert.

one problem. There is a birth registration for Lily Maud BUT it's not until Sep 1890 Ely Dist (covers Littleport) Vol 3b Page 528. Strange.

you could get Amelia Ann's birth certificate. Sep 1892 Ely District Vol 3b Page 553

John Bowers Clingo married Emma Jane Hensby in Dec. quarter 1878 at Downham (Cambs/Norfolk).

In 1901 Lilly Maud was living with the same people, with the addition of John William CLINGO, nephew, 21, general labourer, b. Southery, Norfolk. The address was 20 Bower Street, Sheffield. RG13; 4363; 6; 3 copyright TNA.

I haven't yet spotted your Amelia! I have found that Amelia is often misheard or misspelled, ending up as Emily or something else.

John William Clingo is also one of the Witness on the Mar Cert.

So probably a cousin ..............

This looks like Amelia:

1901
John M Pettit 30 Railway labourer b. Littleport
Sarah E Pettit 29 b. Littleport
Amelia A Pettit 8 b. Littleport

RG13; 1554; 42; 10
Address: Parson Drove Bank, Parson Drove (Isle of Ely)

... and here they are with Lilly in 1891:

John Matthew Petitt 20
Sarah C Petitt 20
Lilley M Petitt 9 months (all b. Littleport)
