    Exclamation PETERS

    My wife’s grandfather Thomas PETERS born in Cilgerran in 1871, married in Kensington 1899 and died 1954 in Crosshands Llanelli. We have a lot of information on his wife’s side LAKINS from Sheffield but she is finding it very difficult to identify with any certainty Thomas Peters (stone mason) family from Cilgerran. If anyone can help in anyway we would be very grateful.

    On the 1871 Census I have managed to find one Thomas Peters in Kilgerran/Cilgerran BUT he was born in 1855. However he had a step-brother also called Thomas who was born in 1871.

    RG10/5540/123 Page: 23
    Fynon Rees Road, Kilgerran
    PETERS, Elizabeth Head F 62 1809 Pembrokeshire (widow)
    PETERS, Margaret Daughter F 26 1845 Pembrokeshire occ: Dom Servant
    PETERS, Elinor Daughter F 22 1849 Pembrokeshire occ: Dressmaker
    PETERS, Thomas Son M 16 1855 Pembrokeshire occ: Quarryman
    MATHIAS, Thomas Step-Son M 0 1871 Pembrokeshire (aged 5 week)

    I wonder whether the baby was actually Elizabeth's grandson. Looking at the image, I cannot make out what his his actual relationship was. Step ****.

    Hi Nicolina,
    I don’t know when I’ve last seen my wife so exited, I don’t know if I should have said that!
    She has in her possession a small note book with birthdays going back to 1840 and one entry is for John P Griffith’s dadcu stepbrother March 1st.1879. She always assumed he was taken into the Peters family and not the other way around so all she has to do now is find Thomas Peters paternal father.

    I've just looked at those Census records again and I must have been right.

    Margaret Peters, daughter of Elizabeth & ???? must have married James Griffiths between 1871 & 1881. I would assume (there's that word again) that James was a widower, also that Thomas Matthias aka Peters was her son.

    Hi Nicolina
    Thank you very much for your quick response to my request. You have saved me many hours of searching. I have printed out all the information and passed it on to my wife to sort out. And the best of luck to her.!!!
    ps I just noticed you are researching Yorkshire that is the area Thomas Peters wife Annie laking came from

    it is a small world. I actually went to College in Sheffield. I also have Welsh folk in my tree. My 3xGreat Grandfather was called Benjamin (or Benedict) Lloyd, must be where my father got his glorious tenor voice.
    Ten days ago I even met one of my cousins from Wales, for the first time, when they travelled up to Yorkshire to take part in Scarborough's Seafest.
    Don't tell anyone but I'm tone deaf.
