Good evening
I’ve been searching for the death of Thomas Peters D.O.B 1831
I’ve found his son’s death 1946 Buried St Mary Church Lover Wiltshire
And I believe his children are also there but not sign of his father Thomas.
Thank you for any help
Jenny

So
A chimney sweep
Born Hampshire, no place given on 1861
Wife Ann 19 born Dean, Hampshire
Son Job 1. Born Burbage, Wiltshire
GRO has MMN as BULL
Are these siblings?
PETERS, ABIGAIE BULL
GRO Reference: 1861 S Quarter in STOCKBRIDGE Volume 02C Page 69
PETERS, LAVINIA BULL
GRO Reference: 1864 D Quarter in STOCKBRIDGE Volume 02C Page 84
What about these ones?
PETERS, GOLIAH BULL
GRO Reference: 1865 M Quarter in AMESBURY Volume 05A Page 184
PETERS, WALTER BULL
GRO Reference: 1867 S Quarter in HUNGERFORD Volume 02C Page 238
I see the son Job’s marriage in 1894, says father is deceased.
Where is Job in 1871?

1871 Joseph, Abigail & Lavinia are in the household (on Hill in a Tent) of
Henry Cooper 43, travelling wife smith
Harriett Cooper 40 wife
Joseph 12 chimney sweep
Abigail 9
Lavinia 7
Relationship to head unknown.
Births of them all also unknown
Or are these another Peters family of Sweeps? There do seem to be a fair few!
-
Goliah & Walter are in Burbage, Wilts 1871 as BULL?
But their mother is named Keziah BULL not Ann. No indication of married, widowed etc.
What do you know about that family group?
The previous household are named COOPER. How are they connected to Henry & Harriett?
-
Jobs baptism in Burbage has Father Thomas and mother as Keziah.
-
Jobs baptism in Burbage has Father Thomas and mother as Keziah.
Yes, (living in a tent under a tilt) I’ve been waiting for OP to get back with actual information she knows.
In that 1871 census with Keziah there is an Edward age 14
Think this is his birth
PETERS, EDWARD BOLE
GRO Reference: 1861 D Quarter in AMESBURY Volume 05A Page 156
His baptism ..son of Thomas & Keziah. Gypsy tent on Wiltshire Downs. Itinerant sweep. Dec 17th 1861
BOLE = BULL?
This seems like a complicated group of families.

1881 - So who is George? Family in Broughton, Hants (Stockbridge area)
George Peters 29 sweep, b Farnham, Surrey
Rebecca Peters 26 b Devizes
Lavinia Peters 18 Sister b Wallop
Gelias Peters 17 visitor b Burbage [male - is this Golias?]]
Edward Kempster 6 Visitor b Wilts
Further digging suggests George is the son of Joseph and Betsy (Elizabeth) Peters - he's another sweep
There's a marriage in Winterslow, Wiltshire in 1843. The spouse is transcribed as Betty Butt or Bull depending on the source. Joseph's father is James, Betty's is John - and yes they're both sweeps
Added - in 1861 Joseph and Betsy have a 2 year old called Joseph. presumably the same person as on 1871 with Abigail and Lavinia in the Cooper's tent
