PEELE / PEEL / PEAL Family : Variations of surname.
Area -Shrewsbury.
Hi, I am new to the Shropshire Forum.
I will start with what is confirmed.
Travelling from Liverpool arriving New York 19 May 1870.
I have John PEELE b c1822 and wife Ann b 1835 with children
Henry b 1858 : Alfred (1856 ?) : Sarah Jane b1863: Samuel b 1865: Ann b1867 & Edwin b1869:
They are listed as PEAL on the 19 July 1870 USA Census ( Indianapolis )
Two more children were born in USA. Mary Louisa and Richard.
Ann only stayed in America for a few years
1881 U.K Census – Birmingham , Warwickshire
Ann PEEL b 1835/6 Shrewsbury. Head of household , Occ: Laundress
States she is married , rather than widowed, but no sign of her husband John.. .
She is with her children, Samuel b 1865 Shrewsbury: Ann b1867 Shrewsbury:
Mary b1873 .America: Richard b1876 America: Alfred b1875 Birmingham.
Marriage:
I have found a Civil Registration marriage and a Parish Marriage
John PEELE= Ann GRIFFITHS
Shrewsbury
Sept Quarter 1863
Ref: 6a-1098
And
John PEEL and Ann GRIFFITHS
St Chad’s. Church , Shrewsbury, Shropshire on 26 July 1864.
There is a year difference in these records.Possible a mis-transcription of a record. Could the couple have married twice ?
I would like to know if John was a Widow. Possible he was married before his marriage to Ann.
I believe the children on voyage to USA , Henry, Alfred & Sarah Jane are his younger children from his first wife. Is it possible her name was Sarah.?
I found a death in 1863 for Sarah PEELE in Shrewsbury.
Is it possible that the following children died
Edwin , also Alfred and that Ann’s last child Alfred b1876 B’ham was named after him.
What happened to Sarah Jane b 1863?
Did she return to Shrewsbury ?It is possible she had older siblings who did not travel to USA
Did Henry ( Robert Henry ? ) return to Shrewsbury ?
Did John PEELE/ PEEL/ PEAL return from USA, die in Birmingham or return to Shrewsbury ?
EDIT: Just found a John PEEL in Birmingham Workhouse, Western Rd, (Also known as The Archway of Tears ) in 1881. John is aged 57yrs. States birthplace as Albrighton, Shropshire. Occ: Bricklayer. Imbecile
Fresh eyes and thoughts would be appreciated for this PEELE Lineage.
Thank you.
