Probably a different Peregrine Lightfoot but there are a number of stories in the Pall Mall Gazette of 1875 in the newspaper archives about an army deserter with that name . The stories don't seem to give much detail and feature more about those soldiers that desert and re-enlist under other names and how to stop this happening . Apparently this Peregrine Lightfoot had re-enlisted more than once and had used the alternate name of John Bunce .Bunce is a Cornish name. It also mentions him going to a barracks at Sheerness . ------------------------------ On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 20:13 GMT April wrote: >Although I have already posted this request recently, I wonder if I can >get any help for finding a possible school where Peregine N Lightfoot >taught as a teacher. > >In 1891 Peregrine was lodging with Thomas Edwin Burnett 37 who was a >Plumbers Merchant, also Charlotte, wife aged 36, with daughter Dorothy >Blanche.
