Sorry if this is a bit long-winded.
I know that John German married Susan Peake on the 18th Feb 1868 (The Derby Mercury)
Susan was born on the 8th January 1839 in Burton.
In the marriage entry Susan's surname is given as Peake but on her grave her name is given as Susan Peake so I think Peake is a middle name. Some of her children have the middle name Johnson. This is not a name on her husband's side of the family so must be on hers.
In the birth indexes there is a Susan Peake Johnson in Burton JFM 1839.
Looking at another branch of my tree I have the following family:
William Posnette Manners born 1847 in Burton.
One of his daughters was called Susan German Manners who was born AMJ 1883. (Susan mentioned earlier died May 1883).
I have found this on the 1851 census, showing both Susan Peake Johnson and Henry Manners (William P's father) as being the nephew and niece of the head of the household:
Source Citation: Class: HO107; Piece: 2012; Folio: 94; Page: 11;
Now I don't know whether they are accurate relationships or not. If they are there is a massive age gap between the youngest and oldest cousins!
Any help appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tom
