Re: Peck pedigree: 1400-1600: Ancestors of Robert Peck of Beccles


By the way, the fact that he is making a deposition in 1537 tells us that he was an adult by that time.

If his purported father Henry died *in* 1525, that could neatly explain why Robert moved to Beccles. I.E. that he was now either poorer, or richer, after his father's death, so he was either driven out, or bought himself a nicer place.

Which again goes back to my point that you need to follow what properties were owned by Henry his purported father, and how they were disposed.
