Hi Jenny
I haven't got to grips with this site yet, I have your family from 1800 - I am related to Divers Peters who was Josephs brother. I also have a few photos of the Whitchurch Peters in my files.
I live in Chester but the rest of my family live still in North West Hampshire. If you want a copy of what I know about your branch get back to me on my email which is Bobpercey(at)aol.com I'll see if I can find the pics as well- who wasyour dad?

regards

Bob

Salisbury area in the 50s/60s ..or before been told he is buried in St Mary`s Church
