Thanks for your reply, Gadget. I think that Edward Pegg had a son before he married Willmot, there's no Mother's name on the register, just Edward's. I think that I come down from this son, John. He married a Ellen Gill. His birth is registered in Market Drayton. I have a copy of Edward's Will and he bequeathed the land and properties to a 1st cousin. I suppose that John couldn't inherit as he was illegitimate. Edward bequeathed his clothes to a Joseph Pegg whom I don't know of but he died before Edward and I think that someone else had the clothes..
Edwards parent's were John Pegg, I think born in Market Drayton who married Willimot Slaney in 1688 at Ightfield. I have a copy of their Marriage License so I know that's right. Willmot b. 1672, d.1693 died, as you can see, very young so they had one child, Edward.
I've been able to follow the other lines but the Pegg line eludes me.
