Pettitts in the US
Far Too Quiet on this forum ..............!
 Please could someone see if they can find deaths for: Stephen Pettitt born 1861 and Elizabeth Pettitt born 1860 in the US. (They were both born in England!) Last seen in 1900 in Niagara, New York. Can't find them in 1910 and their younger children seem to have been farmed out to another family. Also a marriage between Edward Stephen Henry Pettit born 1882 and Dora Joyce would be great too. They are married and living in Niagara in 1910 (Dora being 19, so presumably they hadn't long been married). I've searched FMP but can't find them there. PS The "t"s in Pettitt are extremely variable!

I don't have any world subs, but a tree on Ancestry has him dying in 1904 and Elizabeth in 1942. Elizabeth's death says Niagara Falls, Niagara, New York, but James' doesn't state a place. Neither have a source.

The same tree has the son, Edward Stephen marrying Dora '1906+' and then divorcing before he married Lily Gillis 2 Sept 1912 and a third marriage to Alice Barber-Caughell on 29 Aug 1934. Both 2nd and 3rd marriage in Niagara County.

There are lots of US BMD's which aren't online, but I will have a look.

Find a Grave has an entry for Stephen J Pettitt 1862-1904, buried at Oakwood Cemetery, Niagara Falls, with a headstone photo:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/63877661# I tried to search for Elizabeth on there but I got a "bad gateway" error message.

Ah, this public ancestry tree has Elizabeth remarrying to a William Stewart, with various census links:

The 1942 Niagara Falls city directory has "Stewart Elizabeth wid Wm died Jan 20 1942".
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...&usePUBJs=true And the New York Death Index for 1942 has Stewart, Elizabeth, Niag Falls, 20th Jan, age has been transcribed as 70 by ancestry but it is very faint and hard to make out - could easily say 79. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults

1940 US census, Elizabeth Stewart is age 75, born England, and has daughters Maude 46, born England, and Ida (should be Ada, according to that tree I linked to earlier), 44, born New York, with her in Niagara Falls:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults The daughters are down as Stewart but presumably should be Pettitts.
