James was the Bastard son of Hester Deresley, but christened with the name Peachey.
Hi Everyone,
The farthest I have traced back is to my 4th-great-grandfather, James
Peachey. James was born about 1800 in Suffolk, England possibly in a town
called Bury St. Edmunds.. I do not know who his parents or siblings were.He married Maria Jennison on 18 April 1822 in Little Saxham, Suffolk, England.
Maria Jennison was born about 1800 in England. I do not know who her parents
or siblings were.James and Maria Peachey had at least 14 children, all born in Suffolk,
England.
George Peachey (born 1823)
John Peachey.(born 1824)
Maryann Peachey (born 1826)
Laura Peachey (born about 1830)
Robert Peachey (born about 1831)
Maria Peachey (born about 1833)
James Peachey (born about 1833)
Rachael Peachey (born about 1835)
Margaret Peachey (born about 1836)
Henry Jennison Peachey (born 1838)
Thomas Peachey (born 28 February 1843)
Frederick Peachey (born 1845)
Harriet Peachey (born 1846)
Ellen Elizabeth Peachey (born 1848)The 11th child, Thomas Peachey is my 3rd-great-grandfather. He was born in
Ickworth, Suffolk, England. He married Harriet Sharpe in 1863 in England.
They then lived in Chippington, Suffolk, England.Harriet Sharpe was born in October 1841, and died young in 1877, probably in
England.Thomas and Harriet had 5 children, all born in England:
George H. Peachey (b. September 3, 1864; d. May 23, 1928 in Boston,
Massachusetts, USA; m. Mary Ann Campbell about 1894 in Massachusetts)William Peachey (b. October 5, 1867)
James Peachey (b. October 7, 1869; d. October 10, 1947; m. Elizabeth Wilson in
1914)Maria Jennison Peachey (b. December 22, 1872; d. June 7, 1942 in Hawera, New
Zealand; m. Richard Jarrett on July 1, 1891)Louisa Roberta Peachey (b. September 25, 1875; d. July 12, 1941; m. Joseph
Jones on April 12, 1893)Thomas and his children left England and moved to New Zealand sometime after
1872.
Since his wife Harriet had died in 1877, she may or may not have gone to New
Zealand.If anyone sees any connections, please E-mail me!!
