Ellen S BOUGHTON and George PEACOCK

I wonder if the death of a JOHN WELLS in 1866 with no information could be him!  3059/1866! No parents etc aged 58?  Supposedly John WELLS in a 40 year old Widower in 1854 when he married Ellen S Peacock.

HI Sue that is very interesting to add to the timeline.  I just looked at the link and found Ellen Wells paying taxes in 1868, very good.  LOL getting there (I think).  Will have another look at the link now. Many thanks Dianna

Hi
At this stage you may need to consider certificate purchases with instant download to confirm as far as possible the information we have gathered.

John WELLS' Death Certificate may have been completed on the information of his wife, Ellen.
Could hold good clues.
I doubt her own DC will have much, she seemed estranged from those who might know her details.

Mary WELLS birth will give details  of previous births parents.  Could help to clarify.

Anyhow, I think that is where you are now

Hi Everyone Thanks  for your help with Ellen B.  Very much appreciated, the information has been really helpful and hopefully will lead somewhere.

 My hope is a DNA match to the Boughton/Smith family (Codiga etc) as this is the "Mystery" branch of my family via my mum Daphne. 

Anyway everything you have given me is wonderful, thanks so much and yes some certificates maybe on the list.

Kindest regards Dianna

Hi Yes will keep you updated absolutely.  Regards Dianna

Yes, An interesting and challenging search! Stay in touch.

It is my belief that both Happy and George Walter were PEACOCK children.

I think George Walter used the surname PEACOCK despite his WELLS baptism and this is probably his death.

He is on the Electoral roll in the region

He is buried at the Echuca Cemetery. No others of that surname are recorded there.

HI I'm just about to look at Mary Wells birth certificate which I have just ordered.  Now that is interesting the George PEACOCK death, I believe as you say that both he and Happy are Peacock children.  Many thanks Dianna

Okay well the birth certificate of MARY WELLS didn't help much.  The marriage date is incorrect, not surprised though and there are no previous children listed.  Makes sense now when I think of it as this child MARY is the first issue of John Wells and Ellen.

 John gave the information for this birth.  I wonder if Ellen had given the registrar the details is he would have mentioned Happy and George!

1857 April 12th at Charcoal Gully Mary WELLS 4 months 24 days born to JOHN WELLS Miner aged 47 from Norfolk England married 28th September 1853 at Charcoal Gully district of Bendigo.  Mother Ellen Sarah PEACOCK 33 years born London England.

 Well at least I know now I don't think there is going to be any record of the other two Peacock kids and I doubt they will be on Ellen's death certificate, you never know though!  Moving right along.  Regards Dianna
