Looking for the parents of Evelyn Todd born in Riseley around 1831, I found her marriage and it states that her father was Johanne is this a spelling mistake. Any help appreciated. Her maiden name was PEACOCK

Well he could be called Johanne, I suppose. If you'd found it in a parish register I would have said it was an illiterate attempt at Johannus, or the Latin way of writing John. Are you positive that it says Johanne and isn't just John with lots of squiggles and flourishes? nell

do you know here mothers maiden name? this might be her parents marriage, in which case, yes , his name is correct (risely is only a small place and it would be more than a co-incedence i would have thought) IGI Individual Record FamilySearch™ International Genealogical Index v5.0 British Isles Search Results | Download | Pedigree -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOHANNES PEACOCK Male Family -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: Christening: Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages: Spouse: MARY DICKINS Family Marriage: 15 JAN 1822 Riseley, Bedford, England

Hi I havent got a clue what his occupation was, The only info I had was that her father was Johanne Peacock, I was praying for something else to come to light. I searched the IGI and found Evelyns Marriage which confirmed he was Johanne, its a foreign sounding name. Wonder where he came from,

Hi brenda may be a stupid question but is the date of death or their birth. If its death it would fit perfectly. Moravian where is that I have never heard of it. Thanks for taking the time to help

There's another Johannes Peacock in Bedfordshire according to IGI who could possibly end up being the Father or Grandfather of your Johannes: Johannes Peacock born 24th February 1752, baptised 27th February 1752 St Peters Street United Brethren or Moravian, Bedford, Bedford(shire) England, son of John Peacock and Mary. Hope this helps. Dianne xx
