John Pett of Lamberhurst, m 1726
found some very interesting things in the Bishops Transcripts from Lamberhurst, Kent:
Nov 18 1736 marriage John Pett & Elizabeth Atkins
Jul 24 1738 christening Abraham son of John & Elizabeth Pett
Jul 19 1742 John son ditto
Mar 20 1748 Mary dau ditto
1766 Jul 7 John son of Jn & Barbara Pett
1768 Jan 24 William son of Jn & Barbara Pett
1770 Oct 21 Abraham son of Jn & Barabara Pett
The BTs continue to list several of the same children for John & Barbara as the parish registers, as well as grandchildren, although the parish registers always used PITT.The BTs had a gap from 1772 to 1798, but when the records picked up again in 1799, PITT was the spelling, not PETT, while before the gap, no PITT entries, only PETT.
This would join 3 Pitt lines.The families of John and Barbara Pitt and those of their children's are listed in the parish registers, as are Abraham and Phebe Pitt, and William and Elizabeth & Mary ( 2 wives ).But the parish registers don't record Abraham's or William's christenings or their relationship with John & Barbara.Both William and Abraham have their ages listed in the 1841 census ( and 1851 for William ) which match the christening dates from the BTs, and their census entries name them as being born in the parish.And their birthdates fill the "gap" between the marriage of John & Barbara and the christening of the first child listed in the parish records ( Thomas )
