Hi all
I'm interested in a John Pead (spelt John Peed on some documents) who married a Ann Liddington in 1852 in St Pancras. This is shown in the following link (sorry, I don't like to link but there were no reference details on ancestry):
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=1623&h=2318746&ssrc=pt&tid=38112967&pid=310045354015&usePUB=trueThe above shows that John's father was a William Pead.
The 1861 census shows John and Ann living together:
Household schedule number 252
Piece 122
Folio 106
Page number 42
Rather unhelpfully it just says he was born in England! His dob is estimated to be 1833 .This is the only census record I can find of John and he appears to have died shortly thereafter as later censuses show Ann as a widow. I cannot however find a record of his death.
I have been looking for a record of john's birth given the above.
I have searched 5 years either way of 1833 (given how inaccurate censuses can be) and have come up with either of the following:
1. John Pead born in 1829 in deptford, son of of William (as noted above) and Elizabeth.
2. John Elah Pead baptised in 1828 in Southwark, son of William (as moted above) and mary
I think 1. Is more likely as the middle name Elah does not appear on the census but is there any way to know for sure? Both 1. and 2. Are close to the marriage location of John and Ann.
Many thanks
