12 Sep 1761 Tenement, Furzetor, Walkhampton, Devon, England

the consideration being £40 for 3 lives, plus the surrender of one life
(wonder if that was his brother William who may have died? The dates would match around time of son John's birth, the 3 lives being Elizabeth, Sarah and John) Henderson-2297 01:01, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

1765 Forrestor (?Furzetor?)

lives being John, Sarah and Elizabeth, the lessees children, rent 17s, Heriot £3 or B.B

1765 Peekhill & West Burham

Richard Peek crossed out, John Peek written in, lives John Peek, 17; Sarah Peek 19; William Creber 15
(these ages cannot be from 1765 as they match the relative ages in the Manor Survey for 1783 and look like they date from 1781 Henderson-2297 01:01, 7 September 2018 (UTC))

Peek-705 and Peek-128 appear to represent the same person because: Although these two Richard PEEKs are one and the same I do not believe that the William b. 1732 that you assign to "your" Richard and Elizabeth belongs to this family.

For starters Elizabeth would only have been 10 at his birth For seconds, the location change is rather drastic For thirds, I believe their son William is highly likely to be the William dying in Walkhampton in the 1770s
