Marriage Events

•  Minister/Priest: Msgr. McDermott, 21 Oct 1917, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Note that the Right Reverend Monsignor J. J. McDermott had been the Parish Priest at St. Patrick's between 1909 and 1915 but after that he was involved in the organisation of St. Patrick's Convent School and it is very likely that Margaret Peddle was a student there who got in trouble with Daniel Caines and was married in a chapel rather than a church. 

•  Witnesses: James Robert and Mary Truscott, 21 Oct 1917, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Notes

For reasons I am unable to explain, even though the monument to Amos and Elizabeth Peek is at St. Petrox, I have discovered that there is a grave at St. Clements which indicates it contains the remains of their there unnamed children:

St Clements Church XXX
Transcript of burials at St Clements Church, Townstal. XXX
Page No Area Plot No Christian Surname Died Age Notes XXX
84 A 260 3 infant children of Amos & Elizabeth Peek XXX

No names and no dates are given. It seems likely that the reason they were buried there is because in the adjacent plot (261) there is a person named Susana Peek who died 12/12/1830 at the age of 35 and may have been the only survivin child of Amos and Elizabeth. I am putting her in the family for now tentatively.

Notes
General:
050414 from Freereg.org.uk:

This is a very curious christening record because of the notation. It appears that the midwife (handwoman) named him William though his parents wanted him christened John. That said, it also appears that he went through life known as William in any event.

Notes

040317:

On the Dartmouth Archives website they have a listing of memorials (not necessarily gravemarkers) to members of the congregation at St. Petrox. One of these, dated 1876, is dedicated to Amos and Elizabeth Peek. Almost certainly this is the same couple. But equally certainly they did not die in that year as it would make them almost 100 years old.
