Susannah Read Randall

Susannah Read Randall was born 7th January 1827, and christened 23rd February.  We do not yet know the significance of Read as a middle name, but in 1861 her parents did share the same building with a Read family.

Thomas Peck was born about 1825 in Dovercourt, eldest child of Thomas Codd and Priscilla Carter.   It seems that sometime during the 1840s, his father changed the surname from Codd to Peck - which explains why I could not find them in the 1841 census.  I found this enlightening information of the family history pages of Mark Stevenson.

Susannah and Thomas  married at St Nicholas Parish Church, Harwich, after Banns, on 23rd January 1848.  Both, of full age and single, were unable to sign their names and gave their mark.  The fathers were recorded as Robert Randall, shoe maker, and Thomas Peck, labourer.  The marriage was witnessed by Robert Randall and Eliza Peck.  Robert signed, and Eliza gave her mark.

5. Joseph Randall Peck, born 9th October 1856, bapt 7th November.  He died as an infant.
6. Joseph Peck, born 29th May? 1859, bapt 3rd August.  I think I found Joseph in 1891, a lamp lighter on the Tongue Light Vessel, married, aged 33.  No further details as yet.  Haven't looked.
7. Charles Peck, birth registered 1862, appears aged 8 in the 1871 census. Not found 1881.
8. Eliza, born abt 1864, appears aged 7 in 1871; and aged 17, an unmarried dress maker in 1881 still living at home.   In 1897, Eliza may have married Robert Samuel Smith, and was living next door to her father in the 1901 census.   This Eliza R. Smith is the right age, and born Harwich. 
9. Sarah A. Peck, birth registered 1866, appears aged 5 in the 1871 census.

Susannah died, aged 72,  during the March quarter 1901. 

Thomas died, aged 88, during the December quarter, 1907.   This age is some years out, so it needs to be confirmed that it is the right death.
