children[edit]

In regards to the comment about needing to check daughter's name.

The family tree done by his grand-daughter-in-law has the children listed as

Michael Stewart Pease Nicolas Arthington Pease

Edward Pease's wife[edit]

Mary Gammell Davidson, mother was Mary Gammell Stewart and her mother was just plain Mary Gammell. So the daughters inheriting names was not unknown but a source got mixed up on generations.

Limpsfield[edit]

I think that the article is referring to Limpsfield Chart, East Surrey. The first English translator of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Constance Garnett, lived there from 1896, together with a large number of Fabianistic people, who provided the hospitality for the Russian visitors. see Oxford Dictionary of National Biography article by Patrick Waddington, ‘Garnett , Constance Clara (1861–1946)’, Sept 2004; online edn, May 2006 [1], accessed 31 Dec 2006. === Vernon White (talk) 07:35, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how separate Limpsfield and Limpsfield Chart are. Limpsfield Chart is not listed separatedly on the Tandridge page. On the other hand Limpsfield Chart does seem to have something called Majory Pease Cottages.--Erp 19:29, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Chart is up a hill to the South East of Limpsfield. It was defintely Limpsfield Chart that was called Dostoevsky Corner. My source is G. Jefferson Edward Garnett: a life in literature (1982). === Vernon White (talk) 01:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That still leaves the question of whether the Peases lived in Limpsfield Chart or Limpsfield (or did they move around and manage to live in both). He died at his home The Pendicle, Limpsfield according to the ODNB--Erp 03:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
He gives that address in the preface to History of the Fabian Society (1916)."Pendicle" seem to be a Scots word for an Annexe, perhaps a "granny-flat". I will ask Surrey Libraries if they can say where it was and any information about the Fabians. Regretably the Jefferson book is no longer in the Surrey catalogue. === Vernon White (talk) 18:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

wording[edit]

The sentence "Pease, the sixth of fifteen children, was born near Bristol, the son of devout Quakers, Thomas Pease (1816-1884) and Susanna Ann Fry (1829-1917)" is a bit misleading. He was Thomas Pease's sixth child but Susanna Fry's first (Thomas had five children by two previous wives). --Erp (talk) 03:03, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
