What do you think LadyAugusta?
Interesting the Salford connection as William Pettengale's sister spent a few years in Salford.

My Mum has a recollection of a dark skinned family visiting them when she was small and thoght it was to do with my grandmothers side but this story is making me wondere?
There are a number of Straughns born in Barbados on the IGI but not a Theodore..

This seems to be James's marriage - he is now in Northumberland!!

I can't see him after that but maybe in Scotland ??

I believe that is the lady who contacted me yesterday.LadyAugusta. I had stopped at William for the time being but looked at it last night in more detail.

I have found a possible contact for Herbert Pettengale son of William and Helen.

It was Joan and I have just found an Alan.

LK - I see you have a 'good relationship with 'LA' , and now with 'Joan',
But I have put a great deal of work into this and have come up with a suggestion which may or may not connect.

You have not acknowledged this 'effort'

That is not like you !! - It would be very nice not to be ignored !!


Dea Xxx

The rest of the 'helpers' do not seem to have a mention either ???

Dea x

Apology accepted LA,

Just hope our little 'inputs' have been of help ??

Dea Xxx

LK -- where are you ???

Dea Xxx

LA - Hope you find somthing usefull.

Dea Xxx

I am so sorry you are upset Dea.
I have not been able to get back here this afternoon as I have a Court Guardian visiting tomorrow re my grandson.
I am very grateful for your input on this. I did mention I thought the Salford connection interesting. as William Pettengale's sister and family are in Salford in 1911.

Still no definite connection with addresses or anything yet though but it looks promising.

It was perhaps silly timing to post. I will have a bit more time tomorrow after noon. when this is all over.Thank you all once again for your ideas.

His death should be betwween 1916 when Ginny found him in NZ and 1919 when Helen remarries.
I have checked CWGC. There is an unlikely T Straughen who was a soldier.

Hope all goes well with the 'Guardian visit' LK.

I will tak a further look - speak later.
