| Notes |
- Jessie Kathleen Pettit born to Jessie Ann and William Arthur Pettit o n 1 7 February 1888 in Landport Hants, England.
When Kathleen was a baby she was almost kidnapped. The nurse that took c a re of Kathleen left her with a stranger while the nurse went to a stor e c lose by to pick up some oranges. Suddenly she remembered that she wa s no t to leave the baby with a stranger and rushed out of the store in t ime t o see the woman rushing off with the baby in the buggy. The nurse r ecover ed the child and hurried home. It was later found out that this wo man wa s one of an organized gang who made it a business of kidnapping ch ildren , especially those who were well-dressed. They would strip the bab ies, se ll their clothing and buggy, and then destroy the child. Kathlee n remembe rs as a little girl that ironing and mending days were happy on es, whil e her mother worked, she would sit on a high stool by her side a nd liste n with rapt attention to her mother's numerous stories of when s he wa s a little girl in England. It sounded like a story of fairyland.
