Hi jgale

The surnames forum is only for letting people know the surnames you are researching and the thread is then closed. However as your thread relates to a specific query I have moved it to our Leicestershire Forum where it will hopefully attract the attention of members with knowledge of the County.

However in order that we can assist you can you please give us as much information as you can such as year and place of birth, family members and details of any censuses in which you have found him.

Please remember that the more information you can provide the better able our members will be to help you.

Sorry about that.
Ok Samuel Pegg born 1810/11 in Leicester, wife was Sarah born 1815/16 also from Leicester, sons John, Samuel, George, Arthur, Daughters Sarah, Mary Ann.
Census copies i have show him in 1841 - 1881 and in them as a Brass and Iron Founder.
Anymore information would be really helpful.

FamilySearch has a marriage at Leicester St Martin on 9 September 1829 of Samuel Pegg and Sarah Brown. This would seem rather unlikely based on Sarah's stated age in the 1851 census (38, which would make her born c.1813 and so only around 16 or 17 at the time of that marriage) but isn't impossible. From the age of their eldest known child you might also expect a later marriage. To check whether this is the right marriage you could order a birth certificate for one of their younger children, which should give Sarah's maiden name. A marriage register of this date wouldn't usually give any information about parents, but you should discover at least the names of witnesses, which may be helpful.

There are likely looking baptisms on FamilySearch for some of the children of Samuel & Sarah.

FamilySearch also gives a possible baptism for Samuel himself: Saml. Pegg, son of Saml. & Mary, born 22 April 1810 and bapt. 26 April 1810 at Leicester St Margaret. There are some possible siblings too, including some baptised after 1813. The significance of that date is that from 1813 onwards the baptism registers should show father's occupation and abode. This information isn't included in the FamilySearch transcript so you will need to seek out the original parish registers or copies of them.

There's a will for 'Samuel Pegg late of 287 Humberstone-road Leicester . . . ironfounder who died 22 August 1890 at Leicester'. Probate of the will (with a codicil) was granted to the executors, Samuel John Pegg (of 3 Sycamore Lane, iron founder, the grandson) and Samuel Langton (of 80 New Walk, Leicester, house agent) the same year. Personal estate, £3931 17s. 7d.
