Hi All,

Thanks for the input.

Re the witnesses to Frederick Tolhurst and Frances Peters' marriage,  James Medhurst was married to Emily Tolhurst. Emily (b.1853 in Leeds, Kent) was the sister of Frederick Tolhurst. James and Emily were married on 18th October 1873 in Chart Sutton.

So far a search of the birth indexes for Frances Peters / Frances M Peters with a fathers name of Thomas, birthplace of Kent and a birth range of 1849 to 1857 had not yielded any meaningful results.

This branch of the family is heavily centred around the Leeds, Lenham, Harrietsham, Malling area and, although not ruling any other location or county out, the census records do support Leeds / Maidstone as the birth area.

I've not investigated Fanny in the Workhouse so will have a look.

Thanks again for the input.

Thank you, so she was the daughter of Levi.  Her mother Mary Ann is at 26 Orchard Street in 1881

Hi Guys,
You beat me to it !  ;D
The death date of 1878 rules out Fanny Maria Peters.
Thomas Peters the engine drive is deserving of a further look - thank you.
Censuses are not being a lot of help at the moment.
Francis Peters has been a brick wall for me for months so all clues or thoughts are a help.
Thanks to all.

Is this a different one we haven't ruled out?

Fanny Maria Peters baptised 8 Dec 1856

Saint John Redhill Surrey

Mother Mary Peters

If so then maybe Mary Peters married a Thomas and Frances switched his surname to Peters.
Have seen that done before.

There is a Thomas Peters appearing on Maidstone Criminal registers in 1866. (Burglary) he was imprisoned.

I see that the father Henry Peters on the marriage Annette suggested for Thomas was a paper maker.

ADDED. I see that in 1851 and later census there is a Henry Peters with wife Frances in Loose/ East Farleigh, his occupation Paper maker.  Henry Peters married Frances Tolhurst June qtr 1848,  I wonder who his father is  :-\
