Edith died, aged 1, on 16 Mar 1907 (1907 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 157) and was buried on 19 Mar 1907 at the City Cemetery, Hedon Road. The burial record lists her (highly unlikely) cause of death as 'Teething'. [1]
4. John Redmore b. 6 Feb 1907 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 206, bap. 6 Mar 1907 at St Andrew, Drypool.

Cause of death listed as 'Fever'.
5. Lily Redmore b. 18 Jun 1908 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 189, bap. 1 Jul 1908 at St Andrew, Drypool. Lily Redmore, daughter of Alfred Redmore, Printer, died, aged 20 (1928 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 203) on 24 Jun 1928 from Consumption (Tuberculosis) and was buried at the City Cemetery, Hedon Road on 28 Jun 1928.

The mother's maiden name on all of the registrations is GLEW.

[1] "In the 1900s, some doctors believed there was a link between teething and sudden infant death syndrome, but this is now widely believed to be incorrect. Further, many misconceptions about the symptoms of teething were held in the past, both by caregivers and by doctors." Teething - University of Leeds

It's clear that Albert Redmore and Alice Redmore, both born and died in the first quarter of 1911, were a pair of fraternal twins. Even now in our own times, twins are five times more likely to die than single babies in their first year of life.

In 1911, living at 1 Kingston Villas, Estcourt Street, were Alfred Redmore (35) Printers Clerk; Esther Redmore (30), Ivy Redmore (8), Annie Elizabeth Redmore (7), John Redmore (4), Lily Redmore (2) and Alfred Redmore (1). Confirms that by 1911 they had 6 children, with 5 living, during then 9 years of marriage.

In 1921, Alfred Redmore (46) Printers Clerk was working for Richard Johnson & Sons (engravers, lithographers, and printers), 40 Lowgate, Hull. Still living at 1 Kingston Villas, Estcourt Street also were Esther Redmore (41), Ivy Redmore (18) Milliner; Annie Elizabeth Redmore (17) Tailoress; Lily Redmore (13), Alfred Redmore (12), Eva Redmore (9), Harry Redmore (7), Doris Redmore (5) and Stanley Redmore (4). Esther Redmore completed and signed the return. 

Alfred Redmore of 28 Rowlston Grove, East Hull Estate, died, aged 59, on 8 Jun 1934 (1934 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 209), leaving effects of £144 10s 2d (worth £12,700 in 2023) to his widow, Esther Redmore.

In 1939, Esther Redmore was living in the household of son-in-law and daughter, James and Eva Robinson at 59 Mead Street, Ings Road, Kingston Upon Hull. Also living in the household was daughter, Doris Redmore, Domestic Servant.

Esther Redmore died, aged 80, in 1960, in Hull.

Thomas Tummon and Jemima Ellen Davies [Wells]

Hull Holy Trinity

Thomas Tummon (b. 1841), son of Joseph Tummon and Jane Hatcliffe and brother of William Henry Tummon, married Jemima Ellen Davies Wells on 27 Mar 1859 at Hull Holy Trinity. However, there appear to be many romantic or mischievous, and very probably obfuscating, embellishments to their marriage certificate.

Thomas Tummon (19) Labourer, resident in Posterngate, Hull, lists his father as the late Joseph Jeykell Tummon, Merchant's Clerk. Late is correct, Jeykell is an entirely false addition and Joseph was an Agricultural Labourer (probably illiterate).

(In case you're wondering, the Gothic novella, the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson wasn't published until 1886, so it wasn't that they had grabbed a topical and fashionable name from the fiction of the day.)

Jemima (20), also of Posterngate, Hull, lists her father as Philip Davies Wells, Lawyer's Clerk. On later records, she consistently claims to be from Northampton, Northamptonshire and there is one Jemima Ellen Davies born there in 1837 (making her 22), whose parents were Rhees John Davies and Elizabeth Barnes (m. 1831), who in 1841, lived in Dychurch Lane, St Giles, Northampton. Rhees Davies was working as a clerk. However, I've found no further census records for them.

On 1 Jun 1840 at Northampton Quarter Sessions (Sessions House, Northampton), Rhees John Davies, Attorney's clerk, had been sentenced to 12 months in gaol, accused of obtaining one sovereign by false pretences. It seems he had earlier brought a case for unpaid wages and that the sovereign was properly credited to his employer, Richard Thompson, then an Attorney (inferring that later he was not). There is a pencil note on the case papers that says, "There seems to have been malice in the prosecution," and, in red, below it, the word Pardon. Davies' sentence was remitted on 1 Jul 1840. There was an inquiry, after appeals to the Home Office on Davies' behalf and I'm unsure whether he served any part of his sentence or not at the Common Gaol of Northampton (Northampton Borough Gaol and House of Correction), but this does perhaps explain why the family left Northampton and ended up in Hull and why different names were being used.

Even one of the witnesses to Thomas and Jemima's marriage is listed as Thomas Magdalen Grayburn, who must be Thomas Midgley Grayburn who had married Thomas' sister in 1858. Although this could simply be a transcription error.

Thomas and Jemima had at least eleven children:

1. Thomas Alfred Jeykell Tummon b. 1860 M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 192, bap. 21 Mar 1860, at St Mary's Church, Hull, died in the same quarter, 1860 M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 135. 
2. Jane Elizabeth Tummon b. 1861 M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 176, bap. 10 Feb 1861 in Hull (record doesn't list which church.)
3. Alice Tummon b. 1863 M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 173
4. George Tummon b. 1864 D Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 179, bap. 6 Nov 1864 in Hull (again, venue is not listed on the record.)
5. Thomas Tummon b. 7 Dec 1866, bap. 30 Dec 1866 at St Mary's Church, Hull, reg. 1867 M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 175
6. James Tummon b. 1868 D Qtr in HULL Vol 09D Page 205, bap. 3 Jan 1869 at St. James's Church, Hull, died in 1869 M Qtr in HULL Vol 09D  Page 154
7. Albert Tummon b. 12 Nov 1869 in HULL Volume 09D Page 220, bap. 12 Dec 1869 at St. James's Church, Hull.
8. Jemima Tummon b. 12 Jan 1872 in HULL Volume 09D Page 208, bap. 11 Feb 1872 at St. James's Church, Hull, residence Pease Street, Hull. Died before her 1st birthday in 1873 M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 152.
9. James Tummon b. 1873  J Quarter in HULL  Volume 09D  Page 230, bap. 8 Jun 1873 at St. Luke's Church, Hull, died in the last quarter of 1873 
10. John William Tummon b. 1875 M Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 244
11. Charles Alfred Tummon b. 1880 J Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 256, died in 1881 S Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 184

The mother's maiden name on the first five children from Thomas Alfred Jeykell to Thomas in 1867, have the mother's maiden name listed as Wells. Those from James in 1868 onwards, the mother's maiden name is listed as Davis or Davies.

In 1861, Thomas Tummon (20) Dock Labourer from Marshchapel, Lincolnshire, was living at 4, Delaporte Court, St Marys, Hull with wife Jemima E Tummon (22) from Northampton, Northamptonshire and daughter Jane E (0). (That same year his brother, William, was living, next door, at 5, Delaporte Court, St Marys, Hull.) 

In 1871, Thomas Tummon (29) and Jemima E Tummon (31) were living at 8 Mary Ann's Place, Adelaide Street, Holy Trinity, Hull with Jane E (10), Alice (8), George (6), Thomas (4), Albert (1) and Robert Sykes (30) also a Dock Labourer, Boarder.

In 1881, at 6 Chatham Place, Adelaide Street, Kingston upon Hull, were Thomas Tummon (39) Dock side labourer; Jemima Tummon (41), Jane Elizabeth Tummon (20) Draper's assistant; Alice Tummon (18) Domestic servant; George Tummon (16) Fisherman; Thomas Tummon (14) Fisherman; Albert Tummon (12) Scholar; John William Tummon (5) Scholar and Charles Alfred Tummon (1).

In 1891, still at Chatham Place, were Thomas Tummon (49), Jemima E (50), John W Tummon (16) Telegraph messenger and Dennis E Davis (19) Blacksmiths labourer, Nephew. (This Dennis Edwin Davis (sic) was son of Dennis Edwin Davies and Martha Jane Kynman, who had married in Hull, in 1867. The father, Dennis Edwin Davies, born 1841, in Northampton was Jemima's younger brother. When he had married in 1867 and for the 2nd time, at 40, in 1882, he listed his father's name as Rees John Davies, a Law Stationer, confirming my earlier findings.)

Thomas Tummon died, aged 53, in the last quarter of 1895.

In 1901, Jemima E Tummon (59) widow, was living at 7, Chatham Place, Hull with just her son John W Tummon (26) Dock side tallyman labourer.

In 1911, Jemima Ellen Tummon (72) was living alone at 11 Lee Smith Street, Hedon Road, Sculcoates.

In 1921, Jemima E Tummon (83) from Northampton, Northamptonshire, widow, was once again alone at 11, Lee Smith Street, Hedon Road, Sculcoates.

Jemima Ellen Tummon died, in Sculcoates, in 1923.

John Walton (bap. 31 Dec 1804 in Barton, North Yorkshire, village close to Middleton Tyas), son of William Walton and Hannah Jane Taylor, married Betty Oliver, the middle daughter of George Oliver and Mary Hodgson (and sister of Mary Oliver and Hannah Oliver) at her parish of All Saints Church, Appleton-le-Street on 27 Mar 1826. Baptised as Betty in 1794, the bride was 10 years older than her husband and 'upgraded' herself to Elizabeth on her marriage.

John and Betty had five children:

1. George Walton bap. 11 Jan 1827 in Appleton-le-Street
2. John Walton bap. 17 Jul 1829 in Appleton-le-Street
3. William Walton bap. 21 Feb 1832 in Appleton-le-Street
4. Mary Anne Walton bap. 25 May 1834 in Kirby Misperton
5. Ralph Walton bap. 17 Jan 1836 in Kirby Misperton

Mother's name is listed as Betty again on the last two baptisms.

(Was the second child known as John Boy, I wonder?)

In 1841, the family are living in Kirby Misperton with John Walton (38) Blacksmith, Elizabeth Walton (40) (that's ish, obviously), George Walton (14), John Walton (11), William Walton (9), Mary Walton (7) and Ralph Walton (5).

In 1851, John Walton (47) from Middleton Tyas, is a Farmer Of 56 Acres with Elizabeth Walton (57) Farmer's Wife, William Walton (19) Farmer's Son, Mary Ann Walton (16) Farmer's Daughter and Ralph Walton (15) Farmer's Son.

In 1861, John Walton (57) has become a Farmer of 150 Acres in Little Barugh Street, Barughs Ambo (Barugh (Great and Little)), Yorkshire (North Riding), with the household consisting: Farmer's Wife Elizabeth Walton (65), Ann Thorpe (26) (daughter Mary Ann), William Thorpe (27) Son-in-law, Ralph Walton (25), John Walton Thorpe (0) Grandson, Jane Smith (20) House Servant, Richard Umpleby (18) Farm Servant and Amos Crosby (14) Farm Servant.

However, in 1871 at Thorntree House, Grimston, Helmsley, Yorkshire, John Walton (66) from Middleton, Yorkshire was an Agricultural Labourer. Living with him only was his wife, Elizabeth Walton (76) from Appleton, Yorkshire. 

Elizabeth Walton died, age estimated as 79, in 1873 S Quarter in PICKERING Vol 09D Page 279 and was buried on 6 Jul 1873 in Cropton, North Yorkshire.

In 1881, John Walton (76) Widower, was living with daughter and son-in law, William and Mary Ann Thorpe, at Farm House, East and West Lutton, Driffield.

John Walton died, aged 79, in 1884 M Quarter in DRIFFIELD Vol 09D Pg 206.

George Borrell and Esther Ann Newbound

St. Michael's Church, Burwell, Lincolnshire

George Burwell (sic) (b. 1792 in Grainsby, Lincolnshire), resident in the parish of North Thoresby, Lincolnshire, son of George Borrell and Ann Corden, married Esther Ann Newbound (bap. 19 Apr 1801), who at that time was residing in the hamlet of Walmsgate in the parish of Burwell, at the now redundant St Michael's Church, Burwell, Lincolnshire, on 24 Mar 1823. George made his mark, Esther Ann signed her name. Witnesses were Davy Wilkinson [1] and John Smith [2].

Baptised originally as Esther Ann Soulby Newbond, in Huttoft, Lincolnshire, Esther Ann was the base born daughter of Jane Newbond. (I'll put money on her putative father being someone named Soulby - the surname is found in the area).

George and Esther Ann had eleven children, all baptised in North Thoresby:

1. Betsey Borwell (sic) bap. 25 Jan 1824
2. Esther Ann Borrell bap. 22 Jan 1827
3. Martha Burrel (sic) bap. 24 Sep 1828. Buried in North Thoresby in 1836.
4. Mary Burrel (sic) bap. 24 Sep 1828. Buried 21 Apr 1836 in North Thoresby.
5. Ellen Burrel (sic) bap. 22 Aug 1830
6. George Burrel (sic) bap. 15 Apr 1832
7. Hannah Borrel (sic) bap. 18 Jul 1834
8. Margaret Mary Burrel (sic) bap. 22 Aug 1836
9. William Burwell (sic) b. 1838 S Quarter in LOUTH UNION Volume 14 Page 431 with mother's maiden name NEWBOUND, bap. 23 Jul 1838
10. John Borrel (sic) bap. 18 Nov 1840. Died, aged 1, in 1842 M Quarter in LOUTH UNION Volume 14 Page 335 and was buried in North Thoresby.
11. Martha Burrel (sic) b. 1843 S Quarter in LOUTH UNION Volume 14 Page 479 with mother's maiden name NEWBOUND, bap. 16 Jul 1843 (presumably posthumously). Died 1843 S Quarter in LOUTH UNION Volume 14 Page 281, as she had been buried in North Thoresby on 14 Jul 1843.

One assumes Martha and Mary, born 1828, were twins, but we can understand why they gave Margaret the second name of Mary in that same year as they died.

On the baptisms for Betsey, Esther Ann, Martha and Mary, George Borrell's occupation is listed as Carter. "The carter might work with a pony and trap, even a donkey. Many carters worked carrying produce from the country into the towns on market days. Many stood outside auction houses, markets anyplace where produce was being sold and then touted for business as the home-going purchasers left." [Source]. From Ellen onwards, George's occupation is listed as Labourer.

In 1841, living in North Thoresby, Lincolnshire, were George Borrell (47), Easter (sic) Borrell (40), Ellen Borrell (10), George Borrell (9), Hannah Borrell (6), Mary Borrell [Margaret Mary] (4), William Borrell (3) and John Borrell (1). It would indeed appear that Ester Borril (sic) [Esther Ann] was living in North Waterside, Lincoln with Mary Borril (70) Shopkeeper. (Mary's birth date calculating to around 1767-1771 makes her around 25 years or so older than George Borrell, which could put her into the previous generation. A great-aunt perhaps?)

In 1851, George Borrell (57) Ag Lab, was still in North Thoresby, Lincolnshire with Esther Borrell (49), Mary Borrell [Margaret Mary] (14) and William Borrell (12).

In 1861, George Borrell (67) Agricultural Labourer from Grainsby, Lincolnshire was in Fen Lane, North Thoresby, Lincolnshire with Esther A Borrell (60) from Huttoft, Lincolnshire and John Borrell (11) Grandson (son of Esther Ann Borrell).

Esther Ann Borril (sic) died, aged 69, in 1870 M Qtr in LOUTH Vol 07A Page 400.

In 1871, George Borral (sic) (78) Widower, Ag Lab, was still in North Thoresby.

George Borrell died, at the age of 82, in 1874 M Quarter in LOUTH Volume 07A Page 389 and was buried in North Thoresby, on 19 Feb 1874.

[1] Davy Wilkinson had married an Elizabeth Borrell in 1805.

[2] John Smith had married George's sister, Sarah Borrell, on 15 May 1817.

Asher Swift and Sarah Ann Greyburn

Buckingham Street, Hull
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Ian S - geograph.org.uk/p/4916925

Asher Swift (b. 1827), son of William Swift and Mary Ann Lister, married Sarah Ann Grayburn, reputedly daughter of John Grayburn, on 12 Mar 1848 in the parish of Sculcoates All Saints, Yorkshire. As the church of All Saints wasn't opened until 1869, the likely venue for the marriage was either St Mary's, or St Paul's, both of which have since been replaced. [See: Churches in Sculcoates]

There is a baptism of a Sarah Ann Graburn at Hull Holy Trinity on 5 Jul 1837 with parents John Graburn and Frances Crawford. As several siblings are listed as being born that year, it seems more likely to me that they were born in different years and were baptised together in a catch-up as Civil Registration was introduced that year. Additionally, as one of Asher and Sarah Ann's children is named Frances, this also supports the theory that this is the correct baptism and parents.

Asher and Sarah had eleven children, ten survived:

1. Mary Ann Swift b. 1850 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 22 Page 564
2. Henry Swift b. 1852 D Quarter in OF BRADFORD & NORTH BIERLEY YORKSHIRE  Volume 09B Page 132
3. Frances Swift b. 1854 J Quarter in CHORLTON Volume 08C Page 566
4. John William Swift b. 1857 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Vol 09D Page 140
5. Sarah Swift b. 1859 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 153
6. Albert Swift b. 1861 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 137, died aged 2, in 1863 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 119
7. Elizabeth Swift b. 1862 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 140
8. Rebecca Swift b. 1864 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 148
9. Jim Swift b. 1866 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 133
10. Ada Grayburn Swift b. 1868 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Vol 09D Page 154
11. Alice Swift b. 1871 J Quarter in HULL Volume 09D Page 201

The mother's maiden name on these births is listed as Grayburn, Greyburn or even Graburn. All spellings have been checked year-by-year at the GRO.

In 1851, Asher Swift (24) Mechanic, was living in Upper Green, Bradford, with wife Sarah A Swift (23) and daughter Mary Swift (0).

In 1871, it appears they were living in St Luke, Hull, Yorkshire.

In 1881, the family was living at 7, Goschen Place, Drypool, Sculcoates, Yorkshire, with John Swift (54) Engine Fitter - was Asher known as John in the family perhaps - Sarah A Swift (52), Elizabeth Swift (18) Laundress, Jim Swift (14) Boiler maker apprentice, Ada Swift (12) and Alice Swift (10).

In 1891, in Pelham Street, Southcoates, were Asher Swift (64) Steam Engine Fitter, wife Sarah A Swift (62) and just youngest daughter Alice Swift (20).

Then in 1901, Asher Swift (74) Retired Fitter and wife Sarah A Swift (72) were living in Buckingham St, Hull.

Both Asher (1901 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 115) and Sarah Ann Swift (1901 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 92) died, aged 74 and 73 respectively, in the June quarter of 1901.

Edward King Redmore (b. 11 Jul 1860), younger son of Henry Redmore and Martha Markham, married Catherine Ramster (bap. 28 Dec 1859 in Hull), daughter of Thomas Ramster and Ann Collier, at the parish church of Sutton-on-Hull [St James] on 7 Mar 1887. Witnesses were the bridegroom's brother and sister-in-law, James Markham Redmore and Anne Elizabeth Redmore.

Edward and Catherine Redmore had seven children:

In 1891, Edward K Redmore (30) Marine Artist was living at 41, Day Street, Holy Trinity and St Mary, Hull, with Catherine Redmore (31) and Sidney P Redmore (1). (Assume Henry Claude was staying with family, but have not yet found him.)

In 1901, at 78, Wheeler Street, Sculcoates, were Edward K Redmore (40) Marine Artist, Catherine Redmore (41), Sydney P Redmore (11), Harold Redmore (9), Emily G Redmore (7), Kenneth Redmore (5), Jack Redmore (3) and Robina Redmore (1). Henry Claude Redmore (12) was staying with his aunt and uncle Joseph and Ann Peacock at 65, Redbourne Street, Kingston upon Hull. (Ann Ramster, who had married Joseph Peacock in 1894, Mary Ramster and Sarah Reeve, who were also living in that household, were his maternal aunts, Catherine Ramster's sisters.)

In 1911, Edward King Redmore (50) Artist marine painter was living at 12 Cornwall Gds, Wheeler St Hull, Sculcoates, with Catherine Redmore (51) Laundress; Sydney Percy Redmore (21) Fish buyer; Harold Redmore (19) Brass finisher; Emily Gladys Redmore (17) General servant; Kenneth Redmore (15) Ship's apprentice; Jack Redmore (13) Errand boy and Robina Redmore (11) School.

Catherine Redmore (57) of 12 Cornwall Gardens, Wheeler Street, Hull, died on 24 Oct 1917 and was buried at Western Cemetery on 29 Oct 1917.

In 1921, Edward King Redmore (60) Widower was a Boarder in the household of Jasper Parnell Alsop, General Labourer Out of work, and his wife Florence, both 34, at 12, Cornwall Gardens, Wheeler Street, Sculcoates. Edward King Redmore was working as a Fish Fryer at All Gluson Fish Fry, 37 Midland St, Hull. (Catherine Ramster's brother, Thomas (who died in 1919), in 1911 had been a Shopkeeper Fish Frying in Midland Street, Hull, so one imagines he had worked for him.)

It has been written that Edward King Redmore was not as successful a painter as his father and, financially, this appears to be confirmed by a report in the Hull Daily Mail of 6 Mar 1930, with the headline HULL ORDER AGAINST CHIEF OFFICER, where his son, Chief Officer Kenneth Redmore, of Liverpool, was summoned at the Hull Police Court on that date by the Hull Guardians to "show just cause why he should not contribute 7s [seven shillings = 35p] towards the maintenance of his father, an inmate of the institution [workhouse]. Defendant whose wages were stated to be £22 per month, did not appear, and sent a letter stating that he had a doctor's bill of £10 and debts of £50 to pay. An order for 7s per week was made by Mr C. Raine and Councillor Miss H. Theilmann who were on the Bench."

In 1939, Edward King Redmore, Artist (Oil Painter) Retired, was living alone at 7 Crystal Avenue, Mussey Street, Kingston Upon Hull.

Edward King Redmore died, aged 81, in 1941 D Qtr in HULL Vol 09D Page 315.

John Peterken married Sarah Pitchland (bap. 14 Jan 1703 in Romsey, Hampshire) at the church of St Boniface, Nursling, Hampshire on 3 Mar 1727. John Peterken was a soldier, which is confirmed on the original marriage record.

John, it appears, was born on 8 Aug 1698 and baptised on 19 Aug 1698 in Drainie, Morayshire, the son of Thomas Peterkine - the extraneous final 'e' was common at this time - and Margaret Nicoll. A wide variety of spellings show up in the records. John was Peterkine at baptism, but Peterken when he married. My feeling is that the surname was actually Peterkin and became Peterken once it was written down as that's what it sounded like to southerners hearing his Scottish accent.

Sarah was the daughter of Thomas Pitchland and Sarah Cooper, and her ancestors appear to continue back several further generations in Romsey & Andover.

John and Sarah had seven children:

1. Thomas Peterkin bap. 22 Jul 1733 *
2. Thomas Peterkin bap. 19 Dec 1734
3. Sarah Peterkin bap. 13 Mar 1736. Sarah, daughter of John Peterkin (sic) was buried on 21 Sep 1744 at St Thomas of Canterbury, Portsmouth.
4. James Peterkin bap. 26 Dec 1738, James, son of John Peterkin (sic) was buried on 26 May 1739, also at St Thomas of Canterbury, Portsmouth.
5. Mary Peterkin bap. 27 Apr 1740
6. Ann Peterkin bap. 4 Apr 1742
7. James Peterkin bap. 11 Mar 1743

All of them were baptised at Saint Thomas, Portsmouth - now the Cathedral Church of St Thomas of Canterbury (Portsmouth Cathedral).

* There's a burial of Thomas Peterkin, son of John Peterkin, on 3 Mar 1733. As this is before the baptism, my thoughts are that maybe the baptism was carried out posthumously, or what we think is the first Thomas, was actually the second.

John Peterkin was buried on 2 Feb 1765, at Portsmouth, St Thomas.
