The Pettingale family

 

George Pettingale  ( 1779 - 1861)

~ of West Bilney and Fulmodeston in Norfolk ~

 

 

 

 

~ 1779

 

2.          GEORGE PETTINGALE / PETINGALE was born in West Bilney, Norfolk and was baptized on 7 March 1779 at the church in West Bilney.

Father:       John Dalton

Mother:     Martha Pettingale     (No. 1)

 

From the baptism record in the parish register of West Bilney:

Baptisms 1779 -- Page 9 -- Image No. 7 right side

1779.   March 7.   George s. Martha Pettingale   B B.

 

The baptism record indicate that George Pettingale was baseborn.  His mother was Martha Pettingale and the father's name was not mentioned on the record.

Nothing further was found so far on the mother, Martha Pettingale.  It is not known where and when she was born nor is it known if she later married.

 

According to family papers, George Pettingale's father was John Dalton, a banker and landowner of Swaffham, Norfolk.

From the book, Invisible immigrants: the adaptation of English and Scottish immigrants in the nineteenth-century America, by Charlotte Erickson, 1972:

(unfortunately we can only get the snippet views on this Google Book, I ordered a copy of this book to get the full information on the pages)

(Snippet of) Page 432

"….. father of these emigrants, George Petingale, farmed on a large scale in the county of Norfolk.  Born in 1778 in West Bilney, educated in Yorkshire, George Petingale married Ann Crisp in his native town in 1804.  According to family papers, George Petingale was the son of John Dalton, banker and landowner of Swaffham, Norfolk, who bought Petingale out of the army during the Napoleonic Wars, one year ……."

 

The above is most interesting, according to the family papers,

George Pettingale was in the Army during the Napoleonic War and his father, John Dalton, was able to buy George out of his service in the army.

 

Note:  The last name of the family is spelled "PETINGALE" about half the time, but for the history, the family is mentioned as Pettingale except when mentioning the information from the actual records.

 

~ 1804

George Pettingale married MARY CRISP on 25 April 1804 at the church in West Bilney, Norfolk.

George Petingale was one of those who signed a petition to ask the High Sheriff in Norwich to convene a meeting to consider the repealing of the Malt Duty in December 1829.  The High Sheriff then granted a meeting to take place at the castle in Norwich on January 16, 1830.

~ 1972

Charlotte Erickson did a detail research into locating and studying the letters that were written between immigrants and their relatives in England and Scotland and had a book made from the result of the research.

And one group of letters that was found turned out to be from this Petingale family.

Letters written between the sons in the United States and New Zealand and the sisters and to the father at Fulmodeston, Norfolk.

The book was published in 1972 and was called , "Invisible immigrants: the adaptation of English and Scottish immigrants in the nineteenth-century America", by  Charlotte Erickson, published by the University of Miami Press, 1972, 531 pages.

Unfortunately this book on Google Books only give "snippet" views of the pages of interest.  However, I have recently ordered a copy of the book and it will arrive soon, so I will be able to put more about the Petingales from this book.

The snippets of interest from the book:

 

Snippet of page 432

"….. father of these emigrants, George Petingale, farmed on a large scale in the county of Norfolk.  Born in 1778 in West Bilney, educated in Yorkshire, George Petingale married Ann Crisp in his native town in 1804.  According to family papers, George Petingale was the son of John Dalton, banker and landowner of Swaffham, Norfolk, who bought Petingale out of the army during the Napoleonic Wars, one year ……."

 

Snippet of page 433

"….. social rather than straightforward economic reasons.  In the first place, they clearly did not get on with their father.  George Petingale appears to have been determined that his sons should make their own way in the world.  They were to prove their worth, to demonstrate that they deserved what help he might give them.  He regarded himself as an entirely self-made man, in spite of the assistance which John Dalton had given…."

 

Snippet of page 436:

"…. Letters from Willam Petingale to his father, George Petingale,] Fulmodestone, near Fakenham, Norfolk, and sisters

[Bawburgh?] Mills, * 14 Jan. 1834

Dear Father,

Amongst all the passions which compose my character I assure you obstinacy forms no part.   …."

 

~ 2006

David A. Gerber did a detail study on the same topic of letters written by British Immigrants and had a book published.

The book was published in 2006 and was called "Authors of their lives:  the personal correspondence of British immigrants to North America in the nineteenth century", by David A. Gerber, Published by HYU Press, 2006.

This book covered the letters from the Petingale family too.  The sources of the Petingale letters is from the book that Charlotte Erickson published in 1972, only some of the letters were mentioned in David A. Gerber's book.

The good news is that this book is viewable on Google Books (not cut down to snippets)

From the book:

 

Page 154  -- Chapter 4 -- Using Postal Systems, Page 367  Notes to Chapter 4

Thomas Petingale to Sister, Albany, NY, December 10, 1840, in Erickson, Invisible Immigrants, 441.

There is little evidence that the money ever went astray, as it apparently had frequently enough in the 1830s and 1840s that a third Petingale brother, Thomas, an English immigrant from Norfolk then living in Albany, New York, might warn his sister that the post offices in the United States were 'badly conducted" and unreliable, and hence nothing of value should ever be sent in letters.

 

Page 160 & 161  -- Chapter 4 -- Using Postal Systems

William, Henry, and Thomas Petingale not only wrote one another from a number of locations of residence in the United States, but also carried on a correspondence with their sisters and father in Norfolk in England.

It appears that their sisters were in touch with a fourth brother, John George, who emigrated to Australia and then from there to New Zealand, and communicated news about him to the brothers in the United States.  Henry, too, conducted legal business surrounding their father's legacy through the international mails.

Thomas and Henry and their and their English sisters carried on a delicate, triangulated discussion for years over Henry's drinking and his wife's charges, initially made to her sister-in-law in England, that he neglected his family.

 

Page 178  -- Chapter 5 -- Establishing Voice, theme, and Rhythm

The four Petingale brothers, Henry, John, Thomas, and William, not only wrote to their father and five sisters, but also to one another.  They emigrated at different times over a period of years, and John went not to the United States but to Australia and then New Zealand.  Henry returned to England after two years in the United States, and then again to North America.  Each of them moved frequently.  For them, exchanging addresses was a constant work of inquiry.

 

Page 194 & 195 & 373  -- Chapter 5 -- Establishing Voice, Theme, and Rhythm,

And Notes to Chapter 5

William Petingale to Father, [Bawburgh?] Mills, England, January 14, 1832, in Erickson, Invisible Immigrants, 436.

Henry Petingale to Father, Newburgh, NY, March 26, 1850, in Erickson, Invisible Immigrants, 448-9.

 

The estrangement between the Petingale brothers and their father, however, was certainly not over their decisions to emigrate.  The elder Petingale, George, had a personal history of having clawed his way to affluence, and this caused permanent bitterness on his part toward those who might depend on him.  He had five unmarried daughters to support.  He seems to have desired his son to go off on their own as soon as possible.  Here, too, the archived collection begins with a letter of apology.  A year before he left for the United States, William Petingale was writing to his father to apologize for unspecified "past conduct" that was "neither dutiful nor affectionate,"  William is not the only one of the four brothers estranged from a father whom they usually address indirectly, through letters sent to one of their sisters.  When it did take place, correspondence with their father seems to have been tortured, for it had to contend with what his son Henry called George's "aversion to repetitions and long-winded epistles" - anything it seems, but short businesslike letters.  There was also a tortured history of misunderstandings and failed interactions.

Addressing George Petingale was similar to traversing a minefield.  When Henry Petingale did eventually write to his father, his letter was misinterpreted as a request for money, and George wrote his son a curt note stating, Henry recalled, that he would not assist "any of [his] sons with another shilling."  Henry disclaimed any interest in taking money from his father, thanked him for his past assistance, and launched into an extraordinary analysis of his father's emotional history and a declaration of the need of this son, seemingly wiser than his father, for his father's love:

"I was sorry to perceive in your letter a brevity, and absence of all feeling of interest, a sort of business like compliance with a disagreeable duty in writing to me.  I hope such were not the feelings that actuated you.  I know that you have a proud yet a feeling heart, though your early contact with an unfeeling world, unaided, unencouraged, by even parental solicitude, taught you a sad lesson of mistrust, and yet a cold proud feeling of self-reliance, the offspring of your position, which have paved your way to success through life.  Father, you have always undervalued the influence of a few words of feeling or kind solicitude.  I do not write this with a feeling of reproach but of regret."

 

 

Page 369  Notes to Chapter 5

 

48.     The Petingale correspondence, which encompasses the years 1834-1883 and contains thirty-one letters from William, who died in 1847, Henry, and Thomas to their sisters and father is found in Erickson, Invisible Immigrants, 436-66.

 

That last note is a more reason for me to get the book Invisible Immigrants from Charlotte Erickson, the Petingale letters is covered from page 436 to 466 in that book.
