SAMUEL and FRANCES (nee Stent) PECK had 13 children - they were all born in Lower Hutt, New Zealand from 1875 to 1900

I am wondering what happened to them all, who they married, what they did with their lives and where they are buried etc.

I found Samuel and Frances Peck buried in Woodvlle New Zealand along with daughter Elizabeth and son-in-law Daniel.

Samuel's parents were Daniel and Elizabeth (nee Gaskin) Peck from Marsden, Kent
Frances's parents were Charles and Sarah (nee Peck - no relation to her son-in-law) Stent from Fittleworth, Sussex

CAN YOU ADD MORE PLEASE ?

Dear Paddy, I created a Surname Wiki Page for 'PECK'. Have a look at the links, you may be really surprised...

Surprised is not the word allycat - stunned is better :) an amazing amount of info of my ancestors on someone elses site !! thankyou, many happy hours ahead of searching through all that material

Glad you're happy, these Surname Wiki Pages sometimes can take more than half an hour to create.

Also, I've noticed in your tree hosted at the free TribalPages site that you seem to have Surnames with another surname next to them in brackets. Is this the maiden name? If so, all women in family trees are known by their maiden name and I would recommend changing this to avoid confusion and to aid in others searching for their ancestors in your fast growing tree. Brackets within a name are generally used in genealogy for someone's nickname or name that they were generally known to family/friends by.

There is also room within the notes section of each individual to include such things as your sources. I recommend acknowledging other genealogists and including their website address in the notes.

thank you for helping - I suppose it is obvious I am still learning how to get around ? My primary concern was to add names, add names, add names . . I have siblings ringing me asking where THEIR info and descendats are :0 - so I get side tracked
Of course I want to acknowlede other genealogists as I hope one day they will add me - just have to learn about doing that. . .

Hi, Ernest and Percy Sowerby were children of Henry Sowerby and Sarah Heim.
Henry and Sarah emigrated to N Z, in 1869 aboard the "Matoaka"
They were my Great Grand parents.

- but do you know which town in New Zealand they arrived at - I can't find the Matoaka coming into Wellington at that date.
It did arrive in Lyttelton February 1869 but they weren't on it.

These two souls died two days apart,they were much admired in Salvation Army circles.
They were married for 59 years.
