The IGI has the baptism on 06 Jul 1818 at Kendal of a Robert PETRIE, son of Robert & Mary. His birth place in 1851 is given as Sidewick, in 1861 as Sedgwick, and in 1871 as Kendale or Kendaw, all in Westmorland. Sedgwick is only about 3 miles south of Kendal, although in Crosscrake parish. There was a marriage on 28 May 1817 in Kendal of Robert PETRIE and Mary ATKINSON, presumably the parents. So if baby Robert was their first child, they may have been living in Sedgwick but Mary went back to her parents in Kendal to have the baby, which may have been the cause of confusion about the birth place.

Especially a Robert Petrie born abt 1819, in Sidcaret?, , Westmorland, England, died 17 Apr 1874 at Peel Park, Salford, Lancashire, England. May have committed suicide or was possibly hung by his feet from a tree over a pond by drunken soldiers who were "having fun", and he died. He married Ann Mitton, who was born abt 1814 in Horton, , Yorkshire, England. We do not have a death date or place for her. Robert's father was named Robert Petrie also, according to the marriage record of Robert and Ann. We have quite a few ancestors for Ann.
