DOB 3 June 1853 born in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlton> Charlton, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England> England DIED 28 July 1942) He was an English Egyptologist and a pioneer in aspects of archaeology. His father, William Petrie, was a surveyor and together they surveyed the pyramid at Giza His paternal grandparents were Margaret Mitten and William Petrie One of the sons of William Petrie and Margaret Mitten, William Petrie, Jr., married Anne Flinders, daughter of Ann Chappell and Captain Matthew Flinders, the explorer and cartographer of Australia. Their child, William Matthew Flinders Petrie, was born on June 3rd, 1853 I would like to be able to trace back his grandfather, William Petrie (married Margaret Mitten), family.
