Peter Petherick & Marion & ?Veronica?

Please can someone help me find the Pethericks?

Peter S(tanley?) Petherick, my cousin, died in the 1980s; prior to that (obviously!) he was married to and then divorced from Marion, I guess of a similar age, I don't know her maiden name. They had a daughter who, if my memory is right, was called Veronica. I don't know Peter's birth date but I guess it was in the 1940's.

Marion later remarried with John Duke and emigrated to NZ and I lost touch.

Peter's parents were Ann Stacey & Stan Petherick, Stan died in 2000, Ann in about 1991 I think.

Can someone help please?

Thanks, Keith

I can see a marriage for a Veronica Petherick in Reading - though no birth! Did she stay in England do you think?

I think the above Marion's surname was Stockwell-Pitt. There are 2 sons to the above marriage but no daughter as far as I can see.

there's a John M Duke marrying a Marion G Duke in Reading/Wokingham reg district 1977 that could be her .

Travel records on FMP only go to 1960 I,m afraid

EDIT Marion C not G I did a typo !!

Thank you all very much, this is very helpful.

"there's a John M Duke marrying a Marion G Duke in Reading/Wokingham" That could easily be her, is that middle initial certain? Or alternatively could the G of the marriage record really be a C? Peter & Marion lived in Wokingham so the connection there makes sense.

Thanks for the confirmation of Stanley as Peter's middle name, it was a reasonable guess as Stanley was his father's name but this seems certain now.

"the above Marion's surname was Stockwell-Pitt" that could fit with the middle initials C S in the marriage record. Could you provide the records of sons to the marriage please Jan? I don't aways trust my memory but I only recall one daughter which is odd.

I just had a realisation: Peter didn't have a daughter Veronica, he had a girlfriend / wife Veronica. I've found a marriage for Peter S in 1979 Reading & Wokingham, I'll bet the lady is Veronica and I'd like to know her maiden name (etc etc etc). I don't know if there were any children from his second marriage. This would then offer an explanation for the Veronica Petherick marriage in 2002.

Please can someone look this up and see what can be found?

I don't know whether it is better to revive an old thread or start a new one, I recall reading somewhere the advice not to post twice about the same person so here goes with the old thread.

I've recently discovered that Peter married three times, the first time to Joan Brierley in 1958 ish. I'd be grateful if anyone has or could find more information around this please, but in any case this contributes to the Petherick thread for anyone doing research later ...
