What a wonderful name, Zebedee Peskett! In Sussex where he lived, Peskett was not a common name, but there were several families who had it, spelled in slightly different ways. Zebedee was born in 1811 to Edward and Susannah and had several brothers and sisters, including Frederick, maria Frances, Mary Ann, Matilda and Philip. He was a smith; his wife was Eliza and he had several children and he died in 1892 at the age of eighty!
