PEAKE / Topsham
« on: Monday 19 January 09 01:04 GMT (UK) »
My grandfather Richard Peake was born at Topsham in 1875. I think his father's name was Richard. I haven't found his mother's name but found a William Lewis Peake in the 1911 Census. William and my grandmother were at West Derby in Lancashire. I haven't
a clue of my grandfather's location on the night the Census took place.

I've found the following guys named Peake

David born 1843, Richard born 1847 and Lewis born 1850

Their parents were Richard Peake and Elizabeth but I have no idea of her surname.
I think Richard born 1847 may be my great grandfather as Richard was the name of my grandfather's father.

Here's a link about Lewis Peake, road contractor, who was born in Topsham in 1848. http://treeby-family.co.uk/indiI2204.html

Richard Peake, warehouseman to Cole, Davy & Co, Topsham, who appears on the following link, was witness to a Will in 1841. He may be my great great grandfather.  http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/Topsham/SamuelTraies1841.html
