Thanks Geoff.

Can't see a marriage in NSW for a 'Tom' PEAK(E) to a Mary.

Looks like not NSW for marriage and birth.

NSW Deaths 8x Thomas Peake and 4x Peak to 1950. 4x Mary Peak and 4x Peake.

Dave

 

[DaveHam9]

Not this one

PEAKE Mary Death notice 15AUG1948 Death 86 Sydney Morning Herald 19AUG1948

No PEAK(E) births in NSW for a Tom/Thomas & Mary.

For the authorities to say that, means there are other records

Just checked 34 'Thomas Peake' hits in Trove and no mention of Mary or Helena.

The Peaks'/Woodbridges' look to have been in the Tamworth and Newcastle areas..

Edward John peak was charged with stealing eggs from a railway shed in Tamworth. This may be his father in 1907..
