The birth of John son of William Peters jeweller (and goldsmith) and Hannah is recorded in the St Giles Cripplegate records as 22 January 1784.

John Peters jeweller is recorded in connection with his daughter Ellen's baptism in 1826 with the abode Battersea. (His children are shown in the 1851 Census with the birthplace Surrey).

John Peters jeweller in the 1851 Census is listed at 44 Kenton St George, Bloomsbury.

He is also listed as a jeweller at the same address in the 1841 census.

Hello Pat
The John Peters mentioned in the first post above registered marks at Goldsmiths Hall 1810-12 from an address in Soho. The address mentioned in reference to the 1841 UK Census was also in Soho where he was living with his wife Milly; circumstantially all references relate to the same man. Milly Peters is shown as a widow on the 1851 UK Census. The London Deaths & Burials Index has an entry for the St Marylebone register in 1849 of a John Peters aged 69 years but his last address was Devonshire Place, not far from Soho but not enough to say this relates to Milly's husband hence the comment regarding his death in my first post.
The reference in Grimwade's biography to another John Peters who registered a goldsmiths mark in 1822 from Rathbone Place (just the other side of Oxford Street from Soho) presumed to have been a son of the one mentioned above could perhaps be mistaken. It might relate to the John Peters you have identified who was married to Jane.
Regards
Mike

Thanks Mike. I'm really not even sure if the son of William Peters the goldsmith is the John who was married to Jane. There are just too many people with that name. Hopefully, something can be put together with the other information known about the gentleman listed in Grimwade. If I'm reading the entry correctly, I thought it was somewhat striking that the John that was married to Milly is listed as a silver carver (engraver?) in 1841.
