Suffolk / Re: FIDGETT - Ipswich - St peters

Hi Goldbar,
My main interest here is attempting to identify Thomas Fidgett the 'husband' of Rebecca Cooper/Peacock/Fidgett. I would welcome any suggestions/comments on this.
You mentioned that you couldn't find Rebecca Fidgett/Peacock on the 1901 Census. I am reasonably certain that she is Rebecca Fidgett of 8 Little Gipping St, Ipswich (see an earlier posting by 'Ye Olde Friar') as this address was given by Bertie (George Herbert) Fidgett as his next of kin on his Army Records.
Regarding Victor Fidgett Peacock, there appears to be no birth record for him. His death was registered in the Tendring District, which covers Harwich, where his mother and her Peacock children were living in 1881. However, in 1882-1891+ they were living in Ipswich. I wonder if John Albert V Peacock (born Ipswich Oct/Nov/Dec 1888) is the same Victor Fidgett Peacock? I am puzzled as to who
John Peacock (journeyman Miller) is, since George Peacock was the husband of Rebecca Cooper, and father of her first five children (1881 Census) and then Thomas Fidgett was father of Thomas Charles and George Herbert (I also have these two birth certificates), and presumably also Ernest Frederick, and possibly John Albert V. I wonder if there are Baptism records in Ipswich for these boys?
In the 1911 Census George (Bertie) was living at Blackheath Hill, London (near Geenwich) with his wife Lucy and three daughters. He was working as a Miller's Labourer. Maybe Rebecca moved from Ipswich to Greenwich to be close to her son and grandchildren?
There are still many unanswered questions here, so hopefully there will be a number of useful replies to this posting.
