this work.
He was born in 1766 in Matching Green, Essex.222
He was baptized on 13 February 1766 in St Mary the Virgin, Matching, Essex.222
The Baptism Register of St Mary the Virgin, Matching, Essex has the entry:

died in 1829 and was buried on 28 June 1829 in St Mary the Virgin, Matching, Essex.222

John Peacock and Mary Little were married in 1794 in Matching, Essex.
The Marriage Register for St May the Virgin, Matching, Essex, 222
has the entry:
John Peacock married Mary Little on 4.11.1794. Both signed X.
Witnesses:
William & Hannah Little, both signed William and Hannah Little are
siblings of Mary Little. The three Little siblings and John Peacock shared a common grandmother,
Mary (Church/Peacock) Little.
See Tree of relationship of Mary Little and John Peacock.
Their grandmother, Mary Church, firstly married John Peacock (about
1710-1742), and after being widowed, she married John Little (1712-1779).
Since John and Mary's fathers were half-brothers, John and Mary can be
considered to be half-cousins (or half-first-cousins).
Normally it is considered to be unwise for genetic reasons for first cousins
to marry. Marriage between second cousins is more acceptable, but still
can cause some genetic problems to the offspring. Half-first-cousins are
somewhere in between first and second cousin relationships, so there is a
possibility that the close relationship may lead to problems with the health
of the offspring.
It is unclear exactly how many children John and Mary had, but compared to his
brothers he had relatively few.
Mary Little
was born in 1773 in Matching Green. See
details of Mary Little, her siblings and ancestors
We believe that John Peacock and Mary Little had the children described
below.
There is some documentary evidence that these children belong to John and
Mary, and much circumstantial evidence.
See the evidence for John Peacock (1766-1829) and Mary Little (1873-1850)
being the parents of John (1813-1896) and his four sisters.

Ann Peacock was baptized on in 1805 in Matching,
Essex. The
Baptism Register of St Mary the Virgin, Matching, Essex 222 has the entry:
Ann, daughter of John & Mary Peacock, was baptised 13.9.1805
(This entry also appears In the Bishops Transcripts, but Ann is Hannah and
the date is 15.9.1805) She died in 1808 in Matching Green, Essex.
The Burial Register of St Mary the Virgin, Matching, Essex,
222
has the entry:
Anne Peacock was buried 16.2.1808 (In Bishops Transcripts the
entry is for Anney Peacock being buried, maybe suggesting she is a young
girl)
| iv. |
Mary Peacock was born in 1808 in Matching Green, Essex.222
The Bishops Transcripts of the Baptism Register of St Mary the Virgin,
Matching, Essex has the entry: Mary Peacock was baptised 8.3.1808
For the whole of 1808 the parents of the baptised person were not given.
However, there are no other parents that are likely to be her parents, so
it has been assumed that she is the child of John and Mary. The fact
that her sister Ann died three weeks earlier adds some confirmation to
this fact. Mary died in 1808 in Matching, Essex.
The Burial Register of St Mary the Virgin, Matching, Essex222, has the entry:
Mary Peacock was buried 24.3.1808
