Hi Jon - I'd like to update this profile with extra information from my research into the wills of the Pettus and Debney families (Norwich Consistory Court and Prerogative Court of Canterbury). Ann only married once - to Robert Debney who was an Alderman of the City of Norwich (hence the confusion about the second married name)
Pettus-132 and Pettus-107 appear to represent the same person because: How about adopting -107, merge with yours using the data you feel comfortable with, which means the duplicate goes away
Ann
Best wishes, Jo (England Project)
