Elizabeth (Peacock) Lee and John Peacock had children baptised on same day.

John Peacock (1813-1896) and Elizabeth (Peacock) Lee (1797 - ?) are thought to be brother and sister. 

Elizabeth was a daughter of John Peacock (1766-1829). See baptism record.

John Peacock has been shown by the Death Certificate of Mary Peacock (1773-1850) to be probably a son of hers.  See Mary's  Death Certificate

If this so, then John and Elizabeth would be brother and sister.

Supporting evidence for this is that the two lived next door to each other in the 1841 and 1851 Censuses.

Also they had a communal baptism on the same day.

The Baptism Register of St Mary the Virgin, Matching, Essex has the entry:

James , son of Philip and Elizabeth Lee, Blacksmith Labourer, of Matching Green, was baptised 15.6.1834

Also on the same day is the following.

Rachel, daughter of John & Eliza Peacock, Labourer of Matching Green, was baptised 15.6.1834

This is one of the indications that John Peacock and Elizabeth (Peacock) Lee are indeed related.
