George Peet

George is the son of Richard Peet and Elizabeth Plowright and was born in 1825 or 26.  He was baptised on the 22nd of January 1826 in the Anglican church of St. Mary in Nottingham.  At the time of the baptism the family residence is given as Count Street, Nottingham.  Count Street no longer exists but was off Barker Gate.  It has not been possible to find George’s date of death but it is known that it was before the 13th of October 1894. 

 

In this year, 1826;

Thomas Telford completes the Menai suspension bridge between Anglesey and North Wales.

 

In July in Lancashire handloom weavers destroy more than a thousand power looms in Blackburn and Bury.  The machines have caused poverty where they have replaced workers.

 

George married Charlotte in the quarter of April/May/June 1846 in Newark, Notts.  The marriage is listed as Newark, Volume 15, Page 844.

 

It is possible that George died before 1871 as he is not listed on the 1871 census and Charlotte is now the head of the family.  But on their marriage certificate of their son Henry and Marian Whitworth of 29th of June 1872 he is not listed as deceased.  However on the marriage certificate of his daughter Kate Winterbottom Peet on the 13th of October 1894, George is listed as deceased and his occupation was Blacksmith.

 

It has not been possible to find George on the 1841 census however in 1846 George and Charlotte had married and after five years of marriage they had their first child Henry in 1850.

 

By 1851 the couple were George and Charlotte were living at Mount Pleasant, Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, and George was working as a blacksmith.  The family now included a six month old Henry, and also John Inchley aged 9, brother in law to George, Ann Inchley aged 8 and Sarah Inchley aged 3 who are both sister in laws.

 

A year later with the birth of his second son, George on the 5th of September 1852, they were still at Mount Pleasant.  On the listing page for him there is also a Frederick Arthur Peet listed as born Sept Qtr 1852 Newark, volume 7b Page 266.  Of course there may be no connection or he could be a twin.  At present no other Ancestry tree has him listed as a sibling.

 

The couple’s first daughter Elizabeth was born in 1854 and she was soon followed in 1856 by Charles.  John Frederick was next in 1858.

 

By 1861 George and the family had moved to 131 Parliament Street in Newark-on-Trent.  He was now a Master whitesmith. 

 

A whitesmith, sometimes known as a tinsmith, is a person who makes and repairs things made of tinware.  They may work with tin, pewter or other materials. Unlike blacksmiths, who work mostly with hot metal, whitesmiths do the majority of their work on cold metal, although they might use a hearth to heat and help shape their raw materials. The term is also applied to metalworkers who do only finishing work, such as filing or polishing, on iron and other "black" metals. Whitesmiths fabricate items such as tin or pewter cups, water pitchers, forks, spoons, and candle holders.

 

In 1861 but after the census Edward was born.  In 1862 Sarah Ann was born and another daughter Charlotte was born in 1863.  There was then a five year gap until Kate Winterbotham was born in 1868 and when George and Charlotte’s tenth and last child, Mary Ann Harrison, was born the 20th of December 1869 George was still working as a Master whitesmith.

 

All of their children were born in Newark.

 

In the second quarter of 1872 their son George married Harriet Revill in Newark.  This started a period of weddings for their children.

 

George’s profession according to the marriage certificate for the wedding of his first child Henry to Marian Whitworth on the 29th of June 1872 is as a general smith. 

 

The first quarter of 1875 saw the marriage of Charles to Mary Jane Kind.

 

In 1876 their daughter Elizabeth married William James Lamb in Newark. 

 

In the last quarter of 1881 John Frederick married Harriet Judson in Newark.

 

On the 10th of December 1882 saw the wedding of Sarah Ann and George Gilbert at All Saints in North Collingham near to Newark.  The marriage certificate states that Sarah Ann’s father is again classed as a blacksmith.

 

In 1884 Edward married Annie Armstrong Vickers in Newark.

 

On the 4th of December 1887 their daughter Charlotte married Charles Thomas Goy in Newark.  Unfortunately Charlotte died about five months later, in the second quarter of 1888 also in Newark.

 

On the 13th of August 1894 Kate Winterbotham married Enoch Tandy in the Parish Church in Newark.  As mentioned previously her marriage certificate states that George was deceased at this time.

 

On the 27th of August 1895 Mary Ann Harrison Peet also married a Lamb, Robert Lamb at the Methodist Chapel in Newark.

 

Although all we know for definite is that by 1894 George had passed away it is possible that he died in 1872 as there is a record for;

Charlotte Lacy

Charlotte is the daughter of John Marriott and Elizabeth Lacy was born about 1829 in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire and was christened on the 11th of September 1830 in Newark-on-Trent. 

​

In this year, 1830;

On the 3rd of February Britain, France and Russia agree to guarantee the independence of Greece.

 

Edwin Beard Budding, a textile engineer, develops the lawn mower.

 

At her christening she is given as daughter of Elizabeth Lacy and John Marriott.

Why she is called Lacy and not given the name of Marriott is unknown, although it might suggest that she was illegitimate and that John was not married to her mother, or that John is not her father.

 

Charlotte appears to have some connection with an Inchley family.  At present it isn’t known what the connection is, but in 1841 Charlotte Lacy, age 11 lives in Tomlinsons Yard, Newark. 

The entry for the property is;

Hannah Walker        78                    Widow      

William Inchley        25                    Waterman 

Elizabeth Inchley     30                   

Charlotte Lacy         11

 

The only record that I can find regarding a waterman called William Inchley is for the 10th of June 1837 when there was fatal accident on the river Trent near Sawley Lock when another man drowned despite the warnings of William Inchley, another boatman.

 

The link continues in 1851, when by now Charlotte is married, but at their home on the night of the census are;

George Peet         Head                    Married      25      Blacksmith           Nottingham

Charlotte Peet      Wife                     Married      22                                     Newark

Henry Peet            Son                                            6 months                      Newark

John Inchley         Brother In Law                         9                                     Newark

Ann Inchley          Sister In Law                             8                                     Newark

Sarah Inchley       Sister In Law                             3                                     Market Harborough                            

                                  

On the 1871 census Charlotte is listed as the Head of the family, but not as a widow, so

George must have been somewhere else that night, though it is still possible that George had died before 1871.  Charlotte does not have an occupation though her two sons Henry and George are both blacksmiths so perhaps they are supporting the family.  At this time they are at 69 Castle Gate in Newark.

 

By 1881 only Charlotte, John Frederick and Mary Ann appear on the census at Mount Lane, Newark.  Charlotte is still classed as married and not widowed.  Though on this census she works as a Laundress.  This suggests that she now needs to support herself.  The family are now at 5 Mount Lane in Newark.  Again it has not been possible to find George on the 1881 census.

 

Again on the 1891 census Charlotte is listed as Head of the household and married, but not widowed. She is now working as a chambermaid and living at 4 Mount Street, Newark, with her are her daughter Mary Ann who is now 21 and working as domestic servant.  Also there is a Henry Gilbert aged seven who is Charlotte’s grandson and a scholar and was born in Collingham, which is near Newark.  Henry is likely to be the son of Charlotte’s daughter Sarah Ann who married George Gilbert in 1882.

 

On her son George's birth certificate Charlotte is given as Charlotte Peet, formerly Lacy.

Charlotte appears to have been illiterate because on her daughter Mary Ann Harrison's birth certificate her signature is given as 'the mark of Charlotte Peet'
