Looking for ancestral information on Peach, Henry or William Henry and his brother Charles Peach. Henry was the father of Charles Peach, my grandfather.Henry married Elizabeth Guy who had brother Philip and sister Matilda. Besides Charles, Henry and Elizabeth had sons John, Henry and Malcolm, and daughters Ida and Melinda. The possibility exists that the Peaches were originally Paige but no proof. The Peaches were involved in the Anglican church in Arnold's Cove as Deacons, organ players, etc. Also looking for Hollett. Elfreda Hollett was my grandmother, Charles Peach's wife. Elfreda's father was Soloman Hollett who had brothers William and Manuel, sisters Selina, Susanna and Sophie. Soloman married Susannah Guy who had brothers Joshua and Henry, sisters Celia and Maria. Elfreda Hollett (my grandmother) had brothers Soloman, Alfred, Willis, Manuel and Jim, no sisters.

Re: PEACH, PAIGE, HOLLETT
The Peach name was commonly found on the Islands of Placentia Bay, in Spencer's Cove and Kingwell. It is difficult to get solid info as early church records were destroyed when the church at Harbour Buffett burnt. I have no proof but it is my belief that Henry Peach came to live at Arnold's Cove when he married Elizabeth Guy from Arnold's Cove. The Hollett's lived on Sound Island, Soloman worked at LaManche mines and floated his house from LaManche to Arnold's Cove when he married Susannah Guy, my grandfather's sister. I'm a newbie to posting but this message is meant as a response to Marilyn Woodworth Watson, not sure if I'm in the correct format for it. Hope this is of some help to you.

Re: PEACH, PAIGE, HOLLETT
I am attempting to respond to an email from Iris Brett regarding my posting for Peach, Paige, Hollett. Iris, forgive me if you get this twice. My Great Grandfather was Solomon Hollett who married Susannah Guy. Their daughter, Elfreda, was my grandmother. She married Charles Peach, son of William Henry Peach and Elizabeth Guy. Who was your grandfather (brother to Susannah Guy)? By the way, I am the WOODWORTH-WATSON. My sister, Marilyn, is WOODWORTH. Can you tell me where you acquired the information? I can't get back further than William Henry Peach or Solomon Hollett. I understand that Solomon was tall for the times, about 6 feet tall, and strong. I got some info from the Mathews names files in St. Johns. There was practically nothing about Peach, quite a bit about Hollett. The story is that our Peach ancestor changed his name from PAGE or PAIGE when he came to Newfoundland, to escape the British authorities (whether a ship's captain or the military, we don't know). We also don't know if that is correct or not. There was no information in the Mathews files on PAGE or PAIGE.

Re: PEACH, PAIGE, HOLLETT
I'm not sure but I think that Henry and Hannah Hollett may be my great grandparents. Do you have any other info on them

Re: PEACH, PAIGE, HOLLETT
Dianne I have Henry Hollett born Oct. 1848 and his wife Hanna (Peach) born Feb. 1960. Both were born in Spencer's Cove. They had 7 children who were Josiah, John, Albert(Al), Sarah Jenevra, Victor(Vic), Nathaniel(Nath), and Erlan(Earl). Henry was one of 9 children by John Hollett and Sarah. Hanna's father was John Peach. If this is a match, please let me know and I will be more than glad to share what I have. Ron Custer ronaldgcus@earthlink.net

Followup Re: PEACH, PAIGE, HOLLETT
Hi:: I am originally for Arnold's Cove, now residing in St John's. I saw your email to Iris Brett dated Mar 2002 where you indicated that your Grandfather was Solomon Hollett and your Grand Mother was Suzanne Guy. Solomon and Suzanne is my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother. From what I can find, Suzanne's father was James Guy and her mother was Ann Guy. I am trying to put together a Family Tree and I wonder if you might have some information that would help me. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Mel Hynes mghynes@nl.rogers.com
