Notes for Katherine Long
In the Quaker Digest of the registers of Births, marriages and Deaths, there is this entry for the birth of a Katherine Peckover: “Peckover Katherine 25.12.1666 Death? wife of Joseph”. I strongly suspect that it refers to her and was placed in some register long after her birth, same as the births of the parents of her husband had been placed in the register long after they were born.
Further there is this death record which I am taking to be hers: “Peckover, Katherine, d. 1.8.1741 at Fakenham, relict of Joseph, buried Fakenham on 6.8.1741”.
