Dorothy Dinsdale Mitchinson

By kpeacock February 13, 2015 1750 views 9 comments

Dorothy Dinsdale Mitchinson, daughter to Annie Disdale and John William Mitchinson, was born 1897 Gateshead, Durham, England. Dorothy moved to Canada in 1920 and a year later married Francis (Frank) Peacock on 1 June 1921. There is a departure record stating that Dorothy returned to England in 1952 at the age of 55. Also on the departure record is recorded that Dorothy had 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl.

I am trying to find some more information about Frank and the children who may have been born in Canada.

I thought I would try to help you but when I tried to search for Frank in Canada, I did find a few of Frank Peacock's. But since I don't know who his parents, I would have to guess. But the one that I think is him, I cannot find a marriage record of Frank and Dorothy D. Mitchinson, either in Canada, or United States, or England. I found a Frank Peacock but his wife is Jessie A. Jackson. However this Frank's father William Mathew Peacock, was born in England. I did find a Dorothy Peacock in England but her birth was down for 1895 and died 1991 She is buried in All Saints and St. Nicholas Churchyard Rother Dist. East Sussex, England. Find a grave memorial # 141213832 (check this) if you have not found her. I also think that I found Frank Peacock -born 1891 Died 1965 -his wife Jessie A Jackson born 1894- died 1969 Both are buried in the Rosetta Cemetery. Lanark County, Ontario, Canada His find a grave memorial # 26106959. His son F. Alexander Peacock Born 1925 died 2011 Lanark Co. Ontario, Canada His find a grave memorial # is 26106959. I did find 3 of his siblings: Edna M Peacock Born 1895,died 1970 Christina J Born 1882 died 1956, and George Peacock, Born 1872 and died 1958 All are buried in the Rosetta Cemetery, Ontario, Canada. Find a grave memorial # 138576014. John A. (Alexander?) Peacock born Nov. 8, 1884 married Isabella Maud Newton. I also found some of the childrenI think, son Thomas Frederick Peacock Born July 8, 1905 Grey, Ontario, Canada. James Bruce Peacock born Aug 20, 1908 Grey, Ontario, Canada , Harold Newton Peacock born 1896 married H.Annie Spinks age 21 birth, 1901, married Aug 24, 1922. Her parents John J. Spinks and Minnie A Hall.
Brother to John A Peacock- Born Nov. 3. 1888 and died Oct.19, 1913.

1911 Census Ontario, Canada
Mathew Peacock age 68 Christina Peacock - 60
George son age 39, Stewart age 23 Lennie(Christena J) age 29, Loyd age 18 and Edna M. Peacock age 16.

I also found a Frank Peacock age 45 on board ship-Princess Elizabeth From July27, 1934 to Aug 6, 1934 he was a waiter on board. I am not sure about this but I am only guessing that this is the same Frank Peacock. He has a sister named Addie Peacock born about 1887 may have married a Berton Blakney Baskerville -2 children may have been born to this union - Basil Franklin Baskerville Born April 25, 1907 Middlesex, Ontario, Canada - Dorothy Adeline Baskerville born July 3, 1909 Middlesex, Ontario, Canada. She may have married a 2nd time to a John Crawford James -one son John Harold James April 6, 1910. That is all I have found but I am not sure if this is the right one. So Please check it out and let me know if I can be of further assistance. Nsueturney60

Do you need to go back any further with Francis (Frank) Peacock and or Dorothy Dinsdale Mitchinson's families in the UK ?

Thanks for the help so far. I can confirm that the Frank which I am after is the son of Abraham and Edith Annie (nee Knox) Peacock. Annie's parents were Sarah McCarthy and William Knox.

Abraham and Edith had 7 sons according to family oral tradition.
Edward Peacock
Francis (Frank) Peacock
John W. V. Peacock
Charles E. Peacock
Abraham (Aubrey) Peacock
Norman E. Peacock
Thomas [Septimus] Peacock

Have been able to trace family members for most but still searching for details on marriage, death dates and descendants for Thomas (....-1911), Norman (1901-1969) and Francis (abt 1901-....)

I would like to know more about descendants of these lines as well as ancestry for KNOX, McCARTHY and the wives lines if they married.
