* No Entry date given, but presumably 1826.

Unfortunately, John Peacock does not have his age entered.   However, most children seem to start at the age of about 6 or 7 years.  John starts school in 1818, so if this is John Peacock (1813-1896) he would only have been 5 years old.

 

The following abstracts from the Sunday School register shows the number of children attending from Matching.  The number of girls attending is far greater than the number of boys.
