My great,great grandfather Thomas Rusbridge married Elizabeth Pettet in West Firle Sussex in 1850. On the marriage certificate her father is listed as David Pettet, Labourer. Are there any Pettets in your tree that would link with Elizabeth or David? Any information would be appreciated. Pam

Mary - Pam's post is over 7 years old so doubt she's checking for replies.

You could click on her name to try sending a message.

If you want any help then start a new thread of your own and people on here will be happy to try and help.

Give as much info as you can, and be specific about what you're trying to find out.

Good luck!

Carol -

Pam started this thread in 2003, and the other posts date from 2011.
It's not likely that any of the posters will be looking here for replies now.

You can try contacting Pam or Mary (the others are just helpers on the board, and not related ) by sending a private message - click on their names at the top of their posts.

If they have kept GR updated re any change to their email addresses, they will be notified that there's a message for them in the system.

No guarantees that they will be able to receive, read, or reply, though, for any number of reasons.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
