• Photos		Anna Maria Robertson 1823 - 1859 Anna Maria, who married Ffloyd Minter Peck in 1847, was a talented amateur artist. Anna is mentioned by Helen Connell in "Family Migration in the 1850s - the Hedley - Peck - Minter party". She is described as a "talented artist, having been awarded the silver medal (amateur) in 1841 by the Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce for her water colour drawing of fruit and flowers." It's not known whether this picture is the one which won the medal.
  		Anna Maria Robertson 1823 - 1859 The back of the still life painting. On the left-hand side is a letter stuck to the rear of the painting from Oenone Palmer to her nephew Robert Stanley Hickman Molesworth (RSHM): "24c Brunswick Gardens London W8 7th September 1957 "Infact 1975" [RSHM's hand] Dear Robert, Some kind friend is getting my "scribblings" typed as I inherited both my grandfather's father's writing!! I will send one copy to Richard & [brother of RSHM] Annie, as early life in Australia may ammuse them, re how primitive some of it was! Perhaps you would pass on yours to Bridget to read. The beautiful picture you have was done by Anna Maria Robertson I think my mother's grandmother. I wonder does Burkes Peerage" The note on the right-hand side was made by RSHM and points to "I think my mother's grandmother" of the above letter: "No I think Anna Maria Robertson was Oenone's grandmother because 1) I have a copy of the certificate of the marriage on 17/3/1847 of Floyd Minter Peck surgeon of Folkestone to Anna Maria Robertson. 2) Debretts proof shows Oenone's maternal grandfather to be Floyd Minter Peck surgeon of Newmarket & Sale. 3) Oenone's mother died aged 75 (in 1927) would have been born in 1852. Robert Molesworth 12/2/94 Nephew Oenone."
