  Father	William PEACHEY,   b. Abt 1773,   d. Jun Q 1840, Chichester Reg Dist, Sussex, England  (Age ~ 67 years) Other Partners: Elizabeth COSENS  m. Abt 1802
  Mother	Rachel BAYTON,   b. Abt 1803, Pagham, Sussex, England ,   d. 24 Nov 1882, Bosham, Sussex, England  (Age ~ 79 years)
  Marriage License	10 Mar 1824	Pagham and Tarring Peculiar, Sussex, England
  	For the marriage of Rachel Bacon to William Peachey. Wm was a widower, Rachel a spinster aged 20, she married with the consent of her mother, Mary Dash / Bacon. (Information from the Sussex Marriage Licence CD)
  Married	12 Mar 1824	St. Thomas à Becket Church, Pagham, Sussex, England
  	From the Sussex Marriage Index CD Shows William Peachey, widower, married Rachel Bacon, by licence, with date and place; no other information given. (The BT images on FS go from 1823 to 1825 with no entries for 1824) Rachel seems to have been from much more humble origins than William. I wonder if she went to work for William, either to look after the children after his first wife, Elizabeth, died or was already working for the family at the time of Elizabeth's death. With William and Rachel's first child baptised less than 6 months after the marriage it is easy to see that the marriage may have been precipitated by the pregnancy, but it is good to see that William was ready to do the decent thing and make Rachel his wife and did not let a class difference stop him. From both his description of her ('my dear wife Rachael') and his provision for her in his will William does appear to have really loved Rachel. It will be interesting to see the PR entry, and in particular to see if Rachel made her mark or signed her name. When Rachel married William she acquired 6 step-children (2 of the 8 children of William's first marriage had died in infancy). The 5 step-sons and 1 step-daughter were aged from 10 to 20, i.e. the oldest was only about a year younger than Rachel herself!
