:-- family being researched: REDFERN
Joseph Elmer Peacock 1878-1885
There is some confusion about the relationships on Josephs tombstone. He died when he was 7 and cant be the father of Jessie who not born until 1913 and is likely the daughter of Samuel Redfern. Also, Samuel Redfern cant be the father of Joseph as he was only 2 when Joseph was born. If anyone knows the connection between the Peacocks and the Redferns, could they let me know, please?
I am not related to the Peacocks or Redferns, but a volunteer for the GPS, at present covering the Stockton on Tees Durham Road Cemetery.I have been to Thornaby Cemetery today, and it seems that the REDFERN and PEACOCK graves are actually two graves side by sideThe 1st for Joseph Elmer Peacock born 1884 died 1955 aged 71, with his wife Edith Elizabeth born 1884 died 1959 aged 75.The 2nd for Jessie Redfern born 1913 died 1932, the daughter of Samuel J Redfern born 1877 died 1965 aged 88, and Elizabeth W his wife born 1877 died 1946 aged 69.I hope this helps to clear things up.
