Looking for Rose Peck and/or descendants

[Karen McDonald]

Thanks for that, Josey!

I have amended my letter slightly and have just sent it off to the BBC. Fingers crossed!

I'll see what I can find on farming magazines tomorrow. Woofer wants his tea and hubby will be home soon.

I have received an automatic reply from the BBC saying that they receive so many mails, they may not be able to reply...

Oh, well. Fingers crossed...

I have also sent out mails to a whole list of farming magazines.

Brilliant, well done. What a star you are....shame about the BBC response but maybe somehow we can make this go viral....there's someone out there who knows of Rose Peck, Emil & Gustav.

[Karen McDonald]

I'm no star! I'm just trying to help somebody I think a lot of.
For me, the stars are the Rootschatters who spend so much of their time helping people they don't know and will probably never meet.
But as you say: someone out there must remember Emil and Co. And I can't help thinking about how excited everyone who has helped in this search will be if we do one day manage to put Birgit in touch with Rose's family.

I found the website sheffieldhistory.co.uk, which looks promising.

I have been trying to register there in the hope of finding something which might help in my "Rose Peck" search.

However, the website tells me that my application must be approved. This was several days ago and I have not received a reply. I tried writing to the website, but again, no answer.

There are new threads and answers on the website, so it is definitely still active.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Karen

We'll all have a 'virtual' party

Possibly only certain people can 'approve' you, and they have just not logged in for a few days.

I have also just now applied, so will see if they approve me and do not like you.

[chempat]

I have been approved.

Perhaps they only work at weekends?

Apologies if this has been mooted before,but the following records look interesting if they can be pulled together with a birth for the Rose Peck concerned :-

Death of James Rourke,Doncaster,1927-2005
Death of Rose Rourke,Doncaster,1926-1999 (Rose would be unmarried approx.20 in 1946)
Marriage of James Rourke and Rose Peck Don Valley,4Q 1951

and then from the other end,
Family of Pecks at Farm House,Cantley,Doncaster in 1901 RG13/4415/86/11

Following through generations of the Charles Peck through 1911  and 1939 you will find that Rose is a family name and further components of the address are Top Hall Farm,Bawtry(?) Road(postcode DN4 7BU).This address is just over 2 miles from Doncaster Raceourse(DN2 6BB).
