Arthur Ernest Pettit sometimes spelt as Pettitt, was born on the 9th of September 1882 in Suffolk, England. Arthur died at Riverview Hospital after a stay of six months. Prior to coming to the hospital he lived at 611 Minoru Boulevard, Richmond, B.C., he passed away on the 25th of March 1965, at Valleyview and he is buried in the Essondale Cemetery, ( I will eventually find the marker and photograph it )
The 1911 census captures Arthur and his wife, living at 574 Seymour, and they had five lodgers staying with them. The census states that Arthur and his wife, Louisa Hewitt immigrated in 1906, she was a waitress, he was a baker.
The marriage did not work out because in 1921 at Nanaimo, B.C. divorcee, Louisa Pettit married Captain Eugene Hansen. And a year later in 1922 I find that Arthur is working at the Boys Industrial School in Coquitlam,BISCO as a stenographer - book-keeper, making $85 per month, plus room and board, unknown how long he stayed employed at BISCO
Brother: William Frederick Pettit ( 8th October 1879 – 31st January 1934 ) William was married to Kate Ramsey ( 1880 - 1973 ). Father George Pettitt. worked as a merchant. home: 1526-West 4th Ave., Van. Son: William H. Pettit. Daughter: Ivy Florence " Clark", "Harris"
So very little is known about Arthur Ernest Pettit, there is mention online of a possible marriage or connection to Annie Marguerite Pettit, but I cannot see the connection
