Thomas Patefield/Peatfield 1840 -1913

Cotton Worker, than Mechanic, then Coachman, then Warehouseman . Born Whitefield, married Oldham, then moved to Prestwich

Problem lay in deciding which of 2 Thomas Peatfields born Whitefield 1839/1840 was the correct one - needed his Oldham Mar 1867 m.c to resolve it!

Born to Samuel Peatfield, weaver - and not to William Peatfield

Ancestry trees- but how accurate??

Murray Ancestry tree has the Thomas born to William & Betty as going on to marry Sarah E Walker and dying in 1918

One of the Peatfields became a senior manager in one of the Railway companies- LNER? Another (Maurice?) acquired serous wealth and had his own aeroplane in the '30s. I think one of them was an early BBC radio announcer. Some of their Victorian graves are in Kersal church, Salford. I was baptised there c1950 (baptism postponed in the hope that Elsie F G would recover.) Will try to investigate- Nigel 13/11/2018.
