Elizabeth (Peacock) Lee lived next to John Peacock in 1841 and 1851

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.

This helps to suggest that they were linked in some way.  With the other evidence that we have, it suggests that they were indeed brother and sister.
