Hello, especially Trevor & Mary - hope you are still there - we obviously have a connection!
I am searching for information about Francis Peaks who married Mary Blacklee in Bluntisham 28/10/1766.They were the parents of my William.I understand Francis was buried in Bluntisham 22/1/1813 although I have no more details (like his age!)I am aware of four children all christened in Bluntisham - William 28/2/1768, Alice 27/10/1771, Lettice 22/5/1774 & Francis 29/11/1778.
The only record I can see for his birth is the christening of 25/11/1739 in Houghton Conquest, Bedford to parents William Peaks & Ann (Pearson).This is a lot further away (ca 30 miles by crow) than I would have thought, although obviously it is not wholly unreasonable.
Has anyone got any thoughts on this or perhaps can see my Francis nearer home in Hunts, especiallty Bluntisham or thereabouts, or even in Cambs?
Be grateful for any input - thanks, Mick
