Lancashire / Ralph Peters - Southport 1824 - 1886

« on: Wednesday 30 July 14 20:47 BST (UK) »

Hi, please can you help me to find the parents of Ralph Peters. I believe that he was born around 1824 and lived in Southport. His father is called John according to his marriage record. He died in a lifeboat disaster in 1886. I have found two people called Ralph Peters born in Wigan, although I cannot prove any link to the Ralph Peters in Southport. Thank you!

Paul Reed 1837 and Keziah Mollard 1839 from cornwall married 1862 in helston cornwall had a daughter Eliza Jane 1867 in breage cornwall.

1871 census they are in East Rainton Durham and go on to have three more children John Mollard Reed 1872, Isabella 1873, Matilda 1875 to 1877.
