Title: William Peacock birth place
Post by: Kathc on Thursday 02 September 10 01:29 BST (UK)
A family member got intouch to see if I knew the birth place of a William Peacock born 1767 death 1843, I looked on the 1841 census and it only gives his birth place as Yorkshire.

His wife was Hannah Sanderson born 1779 death 1822 only have Yorkshire for her birth place, no marrage place or date, I have one son George Peacock born 1811 in Great Ayton.

Can someone please find the birth place of his mum and dad.

Thank you Kathc

LDS gave a submitted (treat with caution) record of a marriage for great Ayton so i used this site:

and found:

William Peacock otp = Hannah Sanderson otp 18/5/1800 great Ayton
witnesses: Francis Sanderson & John Longstaff (name used on several records so may belong to church staff)

now looking for baptisms.

Children for William & Hannah:

Thank you Diddy :)

One of my 4x great aunts married in to the Sanderson family, William Peacock
is a relative of the lady who asked for my help, but I did not know very much about that side, and on this site the people are so helpfull.

I told the lady I would ask for help on this site and you came up trumps.

Thank you again Kathc
