  • Notes 
    • ******************these notes to be revised!!!!!

      Note that there are a number of Junipers in and around this part of Norfolk. In particular another branch I think of the family in and around Mundesley (about 15miles from Horning), also with a Peter in, who sold a farm with 21 acres of land etc in 1807. Possibly cousins?

      The date and location of Peter's birth based on info he gave to the Merchant Navy. Would seem to be valid, but the baptism record, albeit a transcript also seems valid. Note transcript has a maiden name for his mother of GALES(?).

      One curiosity is the use of Parker in his daughter's name.... presumably this relates to one of his wife's ancestors, but this has yet to be confirmed.

      The Merchant Navy records also say this:-
      When issued (2/6/1845) at Shoreham, he was a "Chief Boatman CG". He first went to sea in 1807 as a "Boy". Height 5ft 6.5in, Brown hair, Ruddy complexion, left eye grey, right eye hazel. No service with the Royal Navy, and never been abroad.

      When Caroline was born, Peter was from Colbourne about 1.5miles away.

      According to the Bishops transcripts baptism register I have for Peter (28/2/1794), his father was Peter and Susan GALES (sometimes Susannah?), and they married at Horning . According to my records Susannah Parker PUXLEY marries a Peter Juniper (14/10/1789, Tunstead) and has Samuel, Susannah and Skyles as children. This Peter was living at Taverham at the time of the marriage, Susannah was living in Tunstead. However I have been over everything again, and the baptism register for Horning has at least for Peter, Susan nee Puxley. It originally said Gales but has been crossed out. The baptism of Emily (1/4/1784) originally said Henry and Mary (Puxley) but this is crossed out to Gales. It is also interesting that the baptism of Peter is entered after that of Emily, even though it was earlier. So I think that somewhere there was a mistake or two, and your tree is more likely to be right. I have Henry and Mary with a number of children and I suspect that Henry is a brother to Peter (the elder), but not got there yet. Horning is 5 miles from Tunstead so not unreasonable for them to have moved. Plus, we might have Peter, John and Skyles while they were in Horning and then Samuel and Susannah when they moved back to Tunstead. (Taverham is more of a problem as it is 12 miles from Tunstead, but I think I can accept this).
