Hi Christine,
Well they are hard to find in 1841!
On the same batch as Peters Christening 07 Sept 1834, Crayford, Kent, are;
MARY, 16 May 1830
CHARLOTTE, 07 October 1832

Unfortunately I cant find any of them in 1841 conclusively and certainly not together.
No sign of Peter at all.
Therefore we have no idea where John/Sarah were born or Married.
Do you have Peters Marriage Cert?
What is his Fathers Occp?

Hi Trish,

Thanks for your help.  I haven't been able to find them together in 1841 census either.  No idea of John's occupation.  Will order marriage cert.  I think I have Peter on 1851 census at 18yrs old - rope spinner - but a visitor - not with family.  I think (from what other distant cousins have provided but with no actual proof) that John Oliver died in 1847.  Will follow up.

Again thank you for confirming Peter's christening and his two sisters.  Much appreciated.

1841 Census has a John OLIVER, Shoemaker, born c 1795, living in Crayford, Kent.
With him are;
SARAH  age 9
MATTHEW age 7

Familysearch.org has this Marriage in Crayford 1830 (no exact date);
John OLIVER
Sarah HILL

I had seen the 1851 Census for Peter but where is he in 1841!
I have tried looking even without a surname with no luck.

Hi,  I've just come across your post from a few years ago.  Obviously I haven't been too active regarding family research for a while.  Peter Oliver was my gg grandfather also then I'm descended from William Henry Thomas Peter Oliver and my grandfather was Leslie Oliver.
Please contact me if you'd like to share family history research.

Regards,
Christay
