Biography

Ivor was born in 1864. He was the son of John Peyton and Emily Georgiana Violet Pringle. He passed away in 1934. ^[1]

"I have been unable to find Ivor in any Englsh census before that of 1911. I know he and brother Guy spent time in Australia running a sheep station called Oakwood, they may have returned home following their father's death in 1907. Ivor was on the 1911 census in London at flat 3 the Albany and of 'private means', he was unmarried."

He served at Gallipolli during the war.

Ivor married Dorothy H Elphinstone in 1917

They had 3 sons

John Wynne William Peyton in 1919

Thomas Grenville Pitt Peyton 1921 (killed in WW2)

Henry Eliot Pitt Peyton 1924, died aged just 7 in 1931 of Diptheria

The family lived at Inglemere Wood, Ascot. Ivor died in 1938. It seems he still had interests in Australia as his will is marked 'resealed' in Brisbane.

For a short further account of this family during the second world war when sadly son Thomas (Tommy) was killed see the book 'Commando to Colditz', by Peter Stanley.
