Hi Janet,
I have a Samuel J Peat born 1898 as my grandads brother
If he is the same one, then John would be my fathers cousin my dad being Raymond born 1933, but afraid to say died in 1997 as did his brother Thomas (Tommy) in 1983.
I knew a few of your dads uncles and aunts and cousins.
But alas not many of them are with us now.
You can contact me my email is
janiceridge@ymail.cominstead of going through messages.
regards
Jan Ridge (nee Janice Peat)
