Children recorded are James,Alfred,George,Frederick and Charles. These are actually the children of Maria's first marriage to William Pegler. They took the name Walkley during their childhood, but some reverted to Pegler when they became adults.

Beavins/Painswick (Aug 09 Red)
The Beavins family were living in Painswick until the late 1800's. Joseph was mentioned in Pigot's Directory as a Tailor. There is a memorial to him and his mother (Sarah Thomas)in the United reform Church. The surname appears to be welsh but could be french (Bois Vin)and is often mis-spelt as Bevins or Bevin (eg. Census) I am interested in anything previous to 1839.
