Thread: William James Pettican

As we're on a bit of a roll at finding people right now - big thanks for everyone! I was wondering if anyone could find out when/where a William James Pettican died? He was born in West Bergholt, Essex in 1871 (he was one of Ernest Pettican's brothers - if you've seen some of my other threads on here) - William married in 1891 in Lexden to a Roseanna Woods. As of 1901 he was still in West Bergholt as a Agr. Lab.



Now on most census' I've seen him down as William James, but occasionally he's down as James William - no idea why but just thought it best to say. From what I gather his last child was born in 1900 (Nellie Pettican). I'm assuming that he lived and died in Essex all his life.

Bump, any ideas anyone?
