Please give as much info as possible,census contains alot of info,including all the family where living,if in Hospital,it gives disease etc...Please be patient I will reply as soon as I can Lorraine

Hi Lorraine I'm not positive this chap will be in your census, but would be grateful if you could have a look, please. He is John Shaw PEAKE b 1826 in Dublin. I think his wife was Elizabeth Esther. That's all I know about him I'm afraid. Thanks a lot Davina

Hi Davina, Had a look,sorry no Peake's at all on the census,sorry Lorraine

Thanks, anyway, Lorraine. It was a bit of a long shot. Davina

Davina, Took a look at the 1851 census and found these two head of households....... JOSEPH PEAKE of Charlotte street,St Peters,South of river Liffey. WILLIAM PEAKE of Amiens street,St Thomas's,North of river Liffey. Hope they help at a later stage Lorraine

Sorry, Lorraine, had to leave the pc for hubby. Thanks for looking. The Peakes are a side branch and I really know very little about them other than the fact that they came from Ireland originally. The one who married into my family was William Henry Aston Peake, a professor of metallurgy and he died in S Africa in 1883 at the age of 28. Thanks again Davina
