Hi to you all, It is likely that an ancestor, Ann Peck, born about 1830, lived her early life in New Brunswick, moving as a young lady to Prince Edward Island where she was to marry and emigrate with husband and family to New Zealand in 1879 . Her father was John Peck and her mother Mary Darrach. From the NB newspaper, 'Northumberland Gleaner' I have the information that a John Peck married a widow, Mary Bradley in Halifax 1829 and as Ann was born the next year, there is a good possibility that these two were her parents. I am searching New Brunswick, hoping the family show up - Pecks showing in the 1851 census of Chatham, Miramichi and I wonder if Ann was born there. There is a big bunch of Pecks in Albert and that area but my search does not find a John and Mary of the right age If anyone of you has a very early census, the name is on your database or you have anything at all on the Peck name in that period in NB or NS, I would appreciate you giving me a call here in the South Seas (Middle Earth).
