I've Googled his name thoroughly.

I don't have my parent's birth certificate. My mother was born in Krasnoyarsk.

I know these things from my mother, and also from the book (written in 1923) - 'Two Centuries of Fur-Trading, 1723 - 1923. Romance of the Revillon Family. by Marcel Sexe.

Hello Sylvia. Thanks for replying.

His parents were Dimitri Rudolph Peacock and Yevgeniya (nee Kozminykh).

Dimitri Rudolph Peacock was appointed as British Consul General in Odessa, southern Ukraine in 1891. He died in Odessa a year later in 1892. I think he was murdered by a political assassin, but I'm not entirely sure.

He had six children, of which Herbert Peacock was one. Herbert Peacock was my mother's father.

Regards,
Allan Munro-Smith

do you know anything more

Any idea of who his parents were?


How did you get back to him.


Where was your parents= (his son or daughter?) born?

Do you have your parent's birth certificate ........... that will show the mother's maiden name, and thus we might be able to find the marriage of Herbert and "Lucille"


Have you tried googling his name?

Hi all.

I'm trying to find more details about my grandfather Herbert Peacock who was born around 1884 in Russia ( I believe) - and who was the British Consul in Krasnoyarsk in Siberia in around 1916.

He was also working for the Revillon Frere fur company.

He and his wife died in 1923 in Yokohama in the Great Kanto Earthquake.

I don't know his wife's name, but I think it was 'Lucille'. She was French.

Thanks for any help with this.
