Pettet, George W | Day 12

Also shown in the poll book at 7 Market Street.

Note: In Parliamentary Papers there is only one George Pettet listed but the testimonies clearly show that the day 10 and 12 testimonies are from two different people. The Deal Poll book lists another George Pettet living in Middle St at No 24 and this is who the day 10 testimony relates to.

His testimony records his address as 24 Middle Street but presume this is wrongly recorded because of assuming they were one and the same person.
