Phillips/Peacock.

[Gary Allison]

My name is Gary in Australia & I am tracing my wife's forebears including James Phillips who m. Elizabeth Peacock c. 1825 at Langley. James was b. 1803 parents George Phillips & Ann Rowe. Any info re the forebears of James & Elizabeth would be great.

Cheers,

Gary.

Hi Kevin. Thanks very much for that. I cannot find Eliza Bonneton perhaps it might be Bonython. Is it possible she was a Peacock & m & Bonneton.

Are there any records of James' forebears.

Cheers,

Gary.

I've had a look through the Stanstead PRs and there is an Elizabeth Peacock baptised in 1803, but it is definately not Peacock on the marriage, so perhaps someone has added Peacock because it ties in with the age given on the census (48). On family trees that I have looked at with a Phillips/Peacock marriage, they are saying that it took place in Langley with GUESS? wrote beneath so it shows that it hasn't been researched properly.

Hi.

Trust all is well. Do you have any info re Mary Toofs & her forebears,

Cheers,

Gary.

Hi Gary

I have been looking through the PRs for St John the evangelist, Langley again regarding Mary Toofs, the marriage entry definately has her down as Toofs however it seems that the name has a few differant spellings over the years, ie Toofs, Tofts and Toft.

29 Mar 1747 Mary Tofts daug of Thomas and Mary
10 Dec 1749 Elizabeth Toft daug of Thomas and Mary
13 Oct 1751 Jane Tofts daug of Thomas and Mary
29 Jun 1760 Susanna Tofts daug of Thomas and Mary
20 Jan 1765 James Tofts age 2 son of Thomas and Mary

Mary's parents
Marriage
