BMD has the following listing:
Births Dec 1862
PESKETT Frederick George Petworth 2b 267
I've gone through the Billingshurst baptism and can't find him. Maybe someone can check Petworth?
Near as I can figure his grandparents Frederick and Jane had 3 boys Darcy, George & William so it should be one of these three as the father, unless one of the daughters had a illegitimate son :o Darcy's sons were all christened in Brighton and much earlier. George had two in Billingshurst then 3 in Brighton. And William had two in Abingdon, Berkshire where he was married, one of them being Frederick W. B. :-\. I am shying towards George as the father but need something definite other than getting the birth cert. This is not my directly line but I'm trying to tie all the Pesketts together.
Any help someone may be able to provide would be great. ;D

I haven't been able to find him but the following site may be of interest
sfgh.org.uk can let you have a transcript of baptisms 1558 - 1887 on CD for 6.82p

Edit:
Hmm put down the BMD reference and then saw you had it ! ;)
Edit:
But while I am here, there is a record of a Frederick Peskett, shopkeeper; in Kellys 1867 Post Office Directory in Billingshurst.

The SFHG transcription of Petworth baptisms has no PESKETT entries at all, and only the following lone PESCOTT.
22/06/1873 Edith, d. of Walter & Fanny PESCOTT, labourer, North Chapel
HTH,

Correction: I wrote SFHG but I meant PRTS (Parish Register Transcription Society). Their CD of baptisms covers the years 1539-1876.
