Title: Queensland Electoral Roll - Peskett
Post by: WoodElf on Saturday 16 January 10 04:28 GMT (UK)

Hi all,

I am researching Richard and Mary McDougall Peskett, who lived around Cunnamulla from the 1890s until their respective deaths. I would really appreciate it if someone could please check the Qld electoral rolls for their details.

Thanks Elfie  :D

Olga Annie Martha PESKETT housekeeper
John PESKETT labourer

1925

Hi Dee,

Richard and Mary McDougall Peskett had eight children, four of which were boys: Richard, William, Henry Harwood, Charles Hugh and John. Richard Sr died in 1934, his wife in 1924.
