He was born 1849 ish in Ottery St Mary area. I can find him on 1851, 1861 1871 and 1881 census returns. His wife (directly related to me) died in 1884/5 but I cannot find him in 1891 census. I can find his children in 1891 they are together in a school. It's weird I can't find him, perhaps he emigrated, perhaps he died I don't know what to think. Steve

His wife was called Florence Elizabeth Palmer, they married in 1870. They had two sons, Charles Reginald R Peek (can't find after 1891) and Albert Edward Peek (found a match in 1901 and a marriage after 1901 for him). Thomas's wife died 1884/85. There is a entry for a child of theres with Palmer as the middle name but was born 1883/84 and died the same or following year. Is there an age for the person who died in 1911? I still can't find him in 1891 or 1901
