Who was Thomas Peasegood "I visited Rosslin Chapel yesterday but, at £7.50, I decided to only walk round the graveyard. I came across a gravestone which was enigmatic and I was curious. The gravestone inscription read:
That was all. There was no parents to Thomas, nor siblings mentioned. The Charles Jenner on the gravestone just appears to either have had a sense of responsibility for Thomas - possibly as his employer or as a philanthropic attitude, with money to match. I don't think I would be far wrong in thinking that it is THE Charles Jenner. Just in case you know anything about Thomas I would be interested if you let me know." Stuart Brown: July 9, 2010 |

Reply to Stuart? I don't know anything about Thomas Peasegood, myself, but perhaps somebody else will know about him. If you know anything about him, please email me, then I'll pass on your message to Stuart Brown. Thank you. Peter Stubbs: July 9, 2010 |
