Help with tracing Henry Peckham of Lambeth

[deledge]

Hi All, new to this board so hoping that a request for 'a fresh paid of eyes as a first post' isn't taking the Mick.

Looking for Henry PECKHAM [c.1839 - according to census' dated, 1871-1881-1891 at various addresses in Lambeth]
with wife Eliza [c1847 -] and their children.

Henry Charles PECKHAM [1870-]
Ellen (shows on one census as Elena) [? 1871-]; and
William [?1873-1941]

I have traced all three children on later census' along with respective marriages etc but cannot find matching births for any of them.

Nor can I trace Eliza, their mother, their father and his respective birth, or their parents wedding (if they in fact) married at all.

The last of the three census' of the family show that Henry claims he is a widower, living with youngest only, yet still can't find a stand out matching record in the period between census' for her death.
[I can't upload these due to file size restrictions]

Simple request I know , but spent some time on this and can't help feel that a fresh, more experienced pair of eyes will see the wood for the trees.

Thanks in advance for any efforts.

Hi,

Welcome to RootsChat.

This would appear to be the death/burial of Henry Joseph Peckham previously posted and therefore can be discounted.

Henry Joseph Peckham
Age - 2
Birth Date - 1839
Death Date - 1841
Burial 27 Jan 1841, St Mary Lambeth, Surrey

Not totally sure, as in 1861 seem to be the transcribed POTHAM family

Hi Roger,

I presume we are talking about Edwin who is prob a date match. You thinking Henry is a nickname?

Not sure he fits otherwise.

There are only 5 Peckham boys registered in Lambeth in the immediate
Period surrounding his supposed birth date from census'.

Three of those are of the Maiden name PIMM who's son Henry Joseph has already been excluded.

The other 2 are Edwin, who you picked out here and James.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat, that census ref in 1851 gives a 12 year old Henry Pebham b St Georges parents William/Elizabeth with the 1861 above widowed Elizabeth do not believe this to be him?
