I'm afraid that there was another Peggy RENOUF.
She was bapt. 22.12.1796 St Helier, Peggy fille Monsr. Chas. RENOUF et Mse.
Marie Anne COSNARD (godparents Monsr. Jean LE COUSTEUR de la Paroisse de St
Marie et Mse. Esther RENOUF soeur de l'enfant). She appears to have still
been alive in 1871 (aged 73, living in St Helier with an 83 year old
sister).....which leads me to think that the Peggy RENOUF who died around
March 1875 was quite likely to be her.
