Thomas peake/peaker/pike
« on: Friday 06 July 12 14:50 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help to find parents of Thomas, born in West Down, Devon registered with surname Peaker in 1841 census, living in Shirwell with Mary his wife(25) and children Mary(4) and Elin(2) and working as an agricultural labourer. He had moved to Neath, Wales by 1951, where his surname registered as Pike and then Peake in subsequent census.
Many thanks

West Down Reg District falls within Barnstable (see GENUKI).

Therefore, can find a Thomas PEAK, Baptised 24 Feb 1819, Barnstable St Peter, Devon. Father's first name Ambrose, Occupation Mariner. Mother's first name Ann. Abode, Back Lane.

Any help?

Thanks so much for this info. I'm not sure whether this is my Thomas. How can I be sure?
Many thanks
