Winterbotham - Peet

[steve59]

In my family tree I have a Florence Louisa Winterbotham Peet b 1880.  Whilst seraching for connections I have found a lot of Peet's who possibly have Winterbotham or Winterbottom as one of their middle names.

Such as Anne W Peet
Gertrude A W Peet etc

Was wondering if anyone can shed a light as to why Winterbotham is connected with the Peets and is used as a middle name?

Many thanks

Hi Steve

I have found it usually is a females maiden name further back in the tree. Could this marriage be yours if so it may explain where it came from.

This looks hopeful as my family of Peet's are from Newark and Nottingham.  Though I can't manage to establish a direct link back just now, but will keep digging and aiming towards it.

Many thanks Jane

Just to add to the muddle the groom I gave you was already a Winterbottom

George Winterbotham Peet + Ann Raynor   N-M 14/7/1794

George Winterbottom Peet + Mary Winterbotham   N-M  19/7/1821

George Winterbotham Peet + Elizabeth Fairholm  N-M  5/12/1826

The spellings are as given.

There are some entries with Westmoreland as a middle name- equally strange

My husband is a Peet and his family were from Mansfield but have not managed to go back as far as that yet
