Research Notes

There was also a Peter Symons, son of Trevanion Symons and Hester Symons nee Walker b. 14th November 1800, baptised 3rd December 1800 at St. Mary the Virgin, Dover, Kent. Naming patterns of children may help to determine which Peter married Elizabeth MacKeen and which married Elizabeth Cole. (Peter Simons married Elizabeth Cole on the 14th December 1824, Peter Symonds, widower married Elizabeth Mackeen on the 15th January 1831), or it is possible the same Peter married both Cole and Elizabeth Mackeen.

As the Peter Symon(d)s in 1861 census (living with mother in law Sarah Mackeen) was a boatman, it would seem likely he was the son of Peter & Mary.

The birth registration Index of Walter Peter Francis Symonds in 1858 does not record a mother's maiden name - suggesting he was either illegitimate or the mother's maiden name was undecipherable. However he was baptised as the son of Peter and Elizabeth. The actual birth certificate should confirm if he was actually the son of Peter and Elizabeth. The dates, and large gap between their last recorded child in 1834, suggests that Walter Francis Peter was probably not the son of Peter and Elizabeth.

Peter named his first daughter Susanna Jones Symons- Peter (son of Peter) had a sister Susanna Friend nee Simons aka Symons, who used the name Susanna Johnson Symonds when she married Joseph Friend in 1836.
