Pittams/Finch

14 February 2001

A lady with the surname Pittam is known to have married into the Finch family (my maternal “tree”). The Pittam that married George Finch in Dec 1871 was named Sarah (she was born in Helmdon on 11/1/1851)

A further surname has now been added to the tree. This is TURVEY. A Mary Ann is known to have married a John Finch abt 1850 but as yet I have been unable to locate their actual marriage date – but still trying.

Another couple of interesting facts are that in 1881 the “Finches” lived in Chapel St whilst another relative resided in Wappenham Rd. In fact I was told by an unsubstantiated source that a picture in your web site named “The Lilacs” shows a lady on the left peering out and this is said to be my gt grandmother Sarah Finch. But we shall never know how much truth there is in that.

Regards and Best Wishes,

Stan
