Hi there,
In spending a lazy afternoon doing a bit of Family Tree stuff and browsing for information on Peter Pezet I found your entry on the Ancestory.Com. My wife is a daughter of Doris Mary. Doris Mary married Walter Frederick Thistleton in 1933 and they had five children – Ethel Jean (born 1935 and who died shortly after birth) Dorothy June, known as June, (born 1937), my wife Marie Gwenda (born 1940), Barry Walter (born 1946) and Sandra Elsie (born 1948). Doris Mary died in 2000 and Walter Frederick in 1996. Leslie Ree/Redstone resided with Doris in Milton until his death in 1967. I have no idea where the Redstone name came from.
I am unsure whether you are aware that Peter John Pezet was the child of Peter Pezet, a plasterer, whose wife was Ann. He had two sisters Annie and Emma. PP came from St. Heliers in Jersey, Channel Islands and was born about 1839. He and his family emigrated from London on the ship “Jessie Readman” on 25 July, 1874 and arrived in Port Chalmers, New Zealand on 26 October, 1874. The family lived around the Dunedin area.
PP died on 17 August, 1879, in Timaru, New Zealand. He was killed in a wall collapse whilst plastering at the Timaru High School. The inquest ruled it was an “Accidental Death”. The following is a link to an article on the inquest in the Timaru Herald.

At some stage Peter John Pezet moved from NZ to Australia and to Milton but at this stage I have been unable to put a date on the move as passenger records to and from NZ are fairly incomplete.
There was, as far as my wife's family was concerned, a family curtain drawn around the later life and death of Ethel May Pezet. It was only a few years ago that my sister-in-law, June, did some research and found that she had actually died in the Mental Hospital at Stockton, near Newcastle. Apparently from June's research it appears sadly, that she was admitted for what is now diagnosed as Post Natal Depression and stayed at the Hospital until her death. I am not sure the date she was admitted or her length of stay. Considering her last recorded child was in 1919 and if it was PND, the possibility exists that she was a patient for 20 years. She is buried in the Church of England Cemetery at Stockton.
Hope this adds a bit of new information to your research.
