Martha Peck married George Lywood 26 Oct 1817 at Milston. George had fought at the Battle of Waterloo 18 Jun 1815 and was discharged 6 Oct 1816 (his discharge was for a medical reason - he had asthma). One year later he is back in Milston and marrying Martha.
Martha was baptized 1 Jul 1792 at Milston the daughter of Elizabeth Peck and she was buried 17 Feb 1867 also at Milston. Their daughter Elizabeth Lywood was my 2x great grandmother.
Whilst we were at the WDYTYA Conference in London this past February, I purchased the Milston Baptisms and Burials from the Wiltshire Family History Society.
The earliest baptismal entry is for Anna Pecke in 1578 and the last entry is for Martha Peck in 1792. The earliest burial entry is for Mater Pecke in 1559 and the last entry is for Elizabeth Peck in 1830 (mother of Martha). The cutoff for the entries is 1837.
I do have a will for William Peck from 1610 and an Administration for Bridget Peck his wife in 1611. I did blog the will of William. William and Bridget Peck were my 12 x great grandparents.
I blogged on the Peck family when I first started my rotation through family surnames:

I still can not really add anything although the will of William Peck I will definitely proofread and update as I see at least one blank. My skill at reading old wills has improved steadily over the past two years. The will itself is probated in the Parochial Court at Fisherton Anger which is a bit of a surprise as Milston is ten miles north of Fisherton Anger. The administration of Bridget Peck will follow on the next research day.
