Henry Peet

Henry is the son of George Peet and Charlotte Lacy, was born about 1850 in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire and died on the 28th of July 1889 in Bargate House, Bargate, Newark at the age of 38.  The cause of his death was typhoid fever for 17 days. 

                                  

In 1851 the family of George and Charlotte Peet were living at Mount Pleasant in Newark. 

 

The entry in 1851 Census for Newark of; z/11/87 Mount Pleasant,

• George Peet Head, M 25 Blacksmith NTT Nottingham.

• Charlotte Peet Wife M 22 NTT Newark

• Henry Peet Son .500 NTT Newark

• John Inchley Brother In Law 9 NTT Newark

• Ann Inchley Sister In Law 8 NTT Newark

Sarah Inchley Sister In Law 3 LEC Market Harboro

 

By 1861 they had moved to 131 Parliament Street in Newark and Henry was at school.

 

Still moving around the area in 1871 the family were living at 69 Castle Gate in Newark.  Charlotte is listed on the census as being the head of the family, though not as a widow, so the whereabouts of his father, George, are unknown.  Henry was following in his father’s footsteps and was now working as a blacksmith.

 

Henry married Mary Ann Whitworth on the 29th of June 1872 in the Wesleyan Chapel, Barnby Gate, Newark.  At the time of the wedding Henry’s address is given as 2 Lovers Lane in Newark and his occupation as a general smith.  The marriage witnessed by John Whitworth and Elizabeth Peet.  Mary Ann was heavily pregnant at the time of the wedding as soon after on the 22nd of July of that year Mary Ann gave birth to their first child Marian.

 

The Stamford Mercury of the 5th of July 1872 had the following notice;

MARRIAGES

At the Wesleyan Chapel, Newark, on the 29th ult., Mr. Henry Peet, to Miss Marian Whitworth.

 

However it was five years later before the birth of their next child, Gertrude on the 13th of July 1877.  Gertrude’s full name was Gertrude Annie Winterbotham Peet, she is the first of the couples’ children to have Winterbotham included in their name.  I have been unable to find the connection between the Winterbotham’s and Peet’s but other branches of the Peet’s also have Winterbotham included in their name.  However some records, such as Lillian’s probate in 1975 have the name as Winterbottom.

 

On the 30th of November 1887 there was a report in the Stamford Mercury;

NEWARK BOROUGH POLICE Nov. 22, before the Mayor (Ald. Pratt), Ald Branston, Mr. Riddell and Mr. P. Handley – Joseph Brewster, apprenticed to Henry Peet, blacksmith, was charged with absconding on the 23rd inst.  He was ordered to pay 2l. 1s. 8d, compensation and costs, which was to be deducted from his wages.

 

Two years later on the 16th of July 1879 Florence Lousia Winterbotham Peet was born.

 

By 1881 the couple and their family had moved to 5 North Gate in Newark and Henry was still working as a general smith.  Henry and Mary Ann employed a servant Mary J Jessop, born c1867 in Newark.  Henry’s age on this census is given as 38, however this must be wrong as it doesn’t agree with the ages on both his marriage and death certificates.

 

Henry for some reason, maybe business related placed the following notice in the London Evening Standard on the 20th of March 1883;

WILL J. BRUNEL, Esq., who resided at 13 Priory-road, Everton, Liverpool in October 1881, COMMUNICATE with Mr. Henry Peet, Bar Gate House, Newark, Notts.

 

Shortly after the census their fourth child and daughter Lillian Beatrice Winterbotham Peet was born on the 21st of October of that year.  She was soon followed by their fifth daughter Rose Eveline Winterbotham Peet who was born on the 26th of November 1883.

 

Four years later their fifth and last child Bertha Mary Winterbotham Peet was born on the 28th of January 1887.

 

At the time of his death on the 28th of July 1889, in Bargate House, Bargate, Newark Henry was working as an iron founder.  Henry had died of typhoid that had lasted for 17 days.  His death certificate indicates that he was just 38 years old, which indicates a year of birth of around 1851.  This agrees with his marriage certificate which gives his age as 21 in 1872.  The death certificate also shows that the informant of his death was John Whitworth, Henry’s father-in-law who was present his death.

In 2016 £1802 would now be worth £212 636.

 

After his death on the marriage certificate of John Andrews and Florence Louisa Winterbotham Peet, 4th of June 1906, Henry is listed as a boilermaker.

Henry married Mary Ann Whitworth on 29th June 1872 in Wesleyan Chapel, Barnby Gate, Newark On Trent. 

 

Children from this marriage were:

i.     Marian Peet – (22/7/1872 – 3/7/1936)

ii.    Gertrude Annie Winterbotham Peet – (13/7/1877 – 26/1/1958)

vi.   Bertha Mary Winterbottom Peet – (28/1/1887 – 24/2/1966)

 

Mary Ann Whitworth

Mary Ann is the daughter of John Whitworth and Ann Jepson and she was born in the second quarter of 1849 in Bothamsall, Nottinghamshire.  She died on the 6th of April 1936 in Lincoln at the age of 87. 

 

Another name for Mary Ann was Marian.  Marian is the name on her marriage certificate, however at present her birth certificate is not available.

 

In 1851 Mary Ann is living in the village of Bothamsall in Nottinghamshire about 20 miles north of Newark-on-Trent, her grandmother Rachel Jepson is the head of the family. 

• Rachel Jepson – head – widow – 63 – Pauper ag lab’s wife – born Osberton

• John Whitworth – son-in-law – married – 26 – Tailor – born Tuxford

• Ann Whitworth – daughter – married – 31 – Tailors wife – born Bothamsall

• Mary A Whitworth – granddaughter – 1 – born Bothamsall

• Edmund Jepson – grandson – 11 – scholar – born Bothamsall

• George Whitworth – visitor – 52 – Tailor – born Nottingham

   

  In 1861 at the time of the census Mary Ann was with her Aunt, Ann Jephson in Newcastle Street, Tuxford, Nottinghamshire.  The listing is unclear as it has;

• Ann Jephson – wife – married – 45 – Publican – born Doncaster

• Mary A Whitworth – niece – single – 12 – born Bothamsall

• Mary Todd – servant – single – 18 – servant – born Tuxford

• John Harrison – servant – married – 65 – servant – born Bothamsall

​

There is no ‘Head’ of the household for Ann Jephson to be the wife of.

The only Ann Jepson that is in the family tree is Mary Ann’s mother who would have been 42 at the time of the census.  This could not be her mother as she was with her father and the rest of the family in Bothamsall in 1861.

 

By 1871 Mary Ann’s family had moved to 42 Whitfield Street, Newark-on-Trent.

• John Whitworth – head – married – 46 – Tailor – born Tuxford

• Ann Whitworth – wife – married – 51 – born Bothamsall

• Marian Whitworth – daughter – 22 – born Bothamsall

• Emily Whitworth – daughter – 14 – born Bothamsall

• William Harrison – visitor – 3 months – ????? child – born Newark

 

​

Notice that Mary Ann has been written as Marian, also the three month old child has had visitor crossed out and under occupation I cannot make out the word before child.  Maybe he has a connection to the Harrison’s who were servants in 1861.

 

At the time of her wedding on the 29th of June 1872, Mary Ann is 22 years old, which means she was probably born after 29th June 1849.  Although on the 1871 census Mary Ann does not have an occupation but by the wedding she was working as a dress maker and was therefore following in her fathers and grandfathers footsteps as both were tailors.  The marriage witnessed by John Whitworth and Elizabeth Peet.  She is recorded as Marian on the marriage certificate, this could because the recorder wrote her name as it sounded.  The signature is also copied as Marian.

 

However, by the 1881 census she is listed as a smith’s wife.  By this time she had had three children and she was pregnant with a fourth.  This could be the reason that she is no longer a dress maker.

 

Henry died in 1889 and on the 5th of December 1890 the London Gazette had the following notice;

Pursuant to an order of the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, made in the action of Henry Peet’s estate, Whitworth v Peet and another, 1890, P., No. 2158, the creditors of Henry Peet, late of Newark-upon-Trent, in the county of Nottingham, General Smith, who died on the 28th day of July, 1889, are, on or before the 7th day of January, 1891, to send by post, prepaid, to William Henry Norledge, Esq., of Newark-upon-Trent, the solicitor for the defendants Mary Ann Peet, Widow, and George Peet, the executors of the deceased, their Christian and surnames, addresses and descriptions, the full particulars of their claims, a statement of their accounts, and the nature of the securities (if any) held by them, or in default thereof they will be peremptorily be excluded from the benefit of the said Order.  Every creditor holding any security is to produce the same before Mr. Justice North, at his chambers, the Royal Courts of Justice, London on the 21st day of January, 1891, at twelve o’clock noon, being the time appointed for adjudication on the claims – Dated this 2nd day of December, 1890.

FREDK. GEO. CORDWELL, 3, Old Serjeants-inn, Chancery-lane, London, Solicitor for the Plaintiff.

 

This action shows that there was some dispute between what appears to be Mary Ann’s family, the Whitworth’s and herself.

 

By the 1891 census Mary Ann was now living at 5 Bargate in Newark and working as a coal dealer with her six daughters.  This census gives her age as 45 although the 1881 census stated 32 years old.  Mary Ann's parents, John and Ann, were also at 5 Bargate, Newark-on-Trent on the night of the census, also there was one servant Edith Taylor aged 16.  It is probable that the court case of Whitworth v Peet did not involve her parents as she is with them.

 

By 1896 the dispute was settled by an auction of Henry’s assets.  It appears that Henry had quite a portfolio of assets as described by the Nottinghamshire Guardian on the 6th of April 1895;

Referring to Lot XIV and Cherryholt Lane in 1881 Mary Ann’s parents were living in the lane, perhaps the name that cannot be read is theirs?

 

In Stamford Mercury on the 9th of October 1896 the following marriage notice appeared;

BASHFORTH – PEET – October 4th, at Barnby-gate, Weslyan Chapel, Newark (by the Rev. G. Neal Willis), William Henry eldest son of Mr. Seth Bashforth, of Skegness, to Marian eldest daughter of the late Henry Peet, of Bargate House, Newark.

 

Unfortunately it looks as though Mary Ann was not ultimately a successful coal dealer as the Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury reported on Friday the 8th of April 1898.

NEWARK – At Nottingham Bankruptcy Court, on Friday, Mary Ann Peet came up for examination.  The debtor, who was evidently in a weak state of health, formerly resided and carried on business as a coal merchant at Bargate, trading as Mary Ann Peet and Co., and stated her liabilities at 454l. 4s. 11d. and her assets at 136l. 8s. 10d.  Her late husband was an ironfounder, who also had a coal merchant’s business, which she continued when he died in July, 1889.  Her husband left his freehold property to her for life, but there were mortgages on it, and when it was sold by the Court of Chancery it turned out that there was not sufficient money in the estate to pay his debts in full, the creditors, as a matter of fact, only receiving 5s in the pound.  She had expected that there would be something left over for her, but she received nothing, and she still owed the money wherewith she purchased the plant and stock of the coal business from the creditors.  She had no capital whatever, but she carried on the business until the filing of her petition.  She first became aware of her insolvency last year, but she had been in difficulties ever since the coal strike.  No creditors appeared, and the examination was closed.

 

The London Gazette has notices of dividends and she is amongst them.

 

On the 9th of September 1898

Peet, Mary Ann (trading as Mary Ann Peet and Coy.) – Now residing at 2 Bargate, Newark and trading at Newark, Nottinghamshire – Coal Merchant, Widow – Nottingham Court – Last day for receiving proofs Sept. 24 1898 – Henry Roby Thorpe, Official Receiver – 4, Castle-place, Park-street, Nottingham.

 

On the 16th of June 1899

Peet, Mary Ann (trading as Mary Ann Peet and Coy.) – Now residing at 2 Bargate, Newark and trading at Newark, Nottinghamshire – Coal Merchant, Widow – Nottingham Court – Last day for receiving proofs July 3 1899 – Henry Roby Thorpe, Official Receiver – 4, Castle-place, Park-street, Nottingham.

 

On the 1st of August 1899

Peet, Mary Ann (trading as Mary Ann Peet and Coy.) – Now residing at 2 Bargate, Newark and trading at Newark, Nottinghamshire – Coal Merchant, Widow – Nottingham Court – Amount per pound, 3¼d – Second and Final – Payable Aug. 9 1899 – Where Payable Official Receiver’s Offices 4, Castle-place, Park-street, Nottingham.

 

So it looks as though the company fell through and that she could only pay 3¼d in every pound she owed, (£1 = 240d).  Despite Henry leaving quite a considerable sum of £1802 11s 9d in his will the Court of Chancery decision meant that Mary Ann received nothing.

 

By 1901 Mary Ann was now working as a caretaker at Winthorpe Hall,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the 4th of June 1906 Mary Ann’s daughter Florence married John Andrews and Florence’s address is given as Winthorpe Hall, near Newark.  It is likely then that Mary Ann was still employed there.

 

In 1907 her daughter Rose married Frank Sherwin in Sheffield, Yorkshire.

 

On the 20th of February 1908 Mary Ann’s daughter Gertrude married George Henry Myers in Yorkshire.

 

By the time of the 1911 census she was living with her daughter, Gertrude at 79 St Phillips Road, Romsey Town, Cambridge. 

                                  

Noted events in her life were:

*  1851: Living, Bothamsall, Nottinghamshire.

*  Living: 1871, 42 Whitfield Street, Newark On Trent, Nottinghamshire. 

*  Living: 29th June 1872, 42 Whitfield Street, Newark On Trent, Nottinghamshire. 

*  She worked as a Dress Maker on 29th June 1872.

*  Living: 1881, 5 North Gate, Newark, Nottinghamshire. 

*  She worked as a Smith's Wife in 1881. Maybe a strange occupation, perhaps a 'calling'

*  Living: 1891, 5 Bargate, Newark, Nottingham. 

*  She worked as a Coal Dealer in 1891.

*  Living: 1901. 

*  She worked as a Caretaker, Winthorpe Hall near Newark, Nottinghamshire in 1901.

*  Living: 4th June 1906, Winthorpe Hall, near Newark, Nottinghamshire

*  Living: 1911, 79 St Phillips Road, Romsey Town, Cambridge. 

 

Mary Ann married Henry Peet on the 29th of June 1872 in Wesleyan Chapel, Barnby Gate, Newark On Trent.
