Sussex / Re: Pesketts from Sussex

Hi I have found these posts very heplful. My ancestor is Sampson (Samson) Peskett married to (E)loisa Bright. My line links to Frederick Christened 31 March 1839.
Interestingly my line is from Canada as Frederick Louis Peskett born in 1867 and Minnie Peskett were sent to Canada as "Home Children" after their father died in 1875 and their mother in 1876. I am busy filling in the gaps and this is all very helpful. I have tracked down the ship and the "Care Society"
Still a mystery why a large Sampson family did not take in the 8 and 6 year old children of Frederick but we are piecing things together.
Keep up the good work.
