3. PELTERET FAMILY ORIGINS
The name Pelteret derives from the Old French for "fellmonger………furrier………dresser of
pelts or animal skins" and is rare.
Names of similar origin include Pelletier, Peltier, Pelter, Pilter, Pelzer (French),
van Pelt (German), Pellitteri, Pillitteri, Impellitteri, Impelizzeri (Italian).
Crests for many of these and other similar names are well documented (J B Rietstap).
The Pelteret family appears to have been Protestant-Huguenot and originates from the
Champagne, Lorraine and Cote d’Or districts of France. It has been postulated that
members of the family migrated at the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes on 18 October
1685 to the state of Brandenburg, Prussia and may have been in the retinue of George I
of Hanover when he journeyed to take the English throne in 1714. Correspondence with
Royal Archive, Windsor tends to discount the latter. The family name appears in the
archives in Den Hague, Brandenburg, Berlin and in parish registers in central London,
England.
On the other hand, records exist suggesting that the name may have reached England far
earlier. William le Peleter (unpublished Assize Roll, Yorkshire: 1219), Adam le Peletur
(Subsidy Rolls, Sussex 1296), Henry le Pelter (41st Annual Report [1880] of Deputy
Keeper of Public Records in London, 1301). In the Assize Roll of 1309 (Société
Jersiaise 1903 No.18) the name le Pelletier appears and is thought to be of Norman-
French origin having arrived in Jersey and Guernsey during the reign of King John
(1167-1216), when the islands were attached to the English crown.
It is reputed that the name traveled to The Americas in the 1860's. To-date, only two
records, one dating from the 1600’s and the other the 1800’s, have been found.
The name arrived in South Africa when, in 1833, a certain George Pelteret was taken in
by the Children's Friend Society, London and shipped aboard the Charles Kerr from
Cowes, captained by a Mr. Brodie (departure 21 January 1833, arrived Cape Town 11 May
1833) to become a house servant to one R W Eaton.
Richard Webber Eaton (1781-1861) arrived the Cape Town aboard the Garland on 26
September 1818. He went into partnership with his brother-in-law J B Ebden (Ebden and
Eaton, Merchants) in the Heerengracht (1819) and later Berg Street (1820). In March
1822, he was the founder of the Commercial Exchange, the forerunner of the Cape Town
Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and went on to be prominent in Cape Town commercial
society. He had two children, wife unknown, Mary Theophila ~ 12 May 1819 and Francis
James ~ 14 December 1821.
The Children's Friend Society was founded in London in 1830, as "The Society for the
Suppression of Juvenile Vagrancy through the reformation and emigration of children".
The first group of children was sent to the Cape Colony in South Africa and the Swan
River Colony in Australia in 1832 and in August 1833, 230 children were shipped to
Toronto and New Brunswick, Canada (Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Children; The
Children's Friend Society at the Cape of Good Hope. Edna Bradlow. Victorian Studies
Vol. 27, No. 2 (Winter, 1984), pp. 155-177. Published by: Indiana University Press)
Mrs H(A)P (widow) was granted £65/9/9 in lieu of 66 days leave pay owing to JJP at his death. He has been in
the employ of the Cape Town City Council for 13 years, and was, at his death, a Foreman in the Wynberg
Disposal Works at £350 pa. The pension amounted to £375.

Dinah Emma Pelteret née Morgan hailed from Pill, South Wales. Dinah, reluctantly, went to South Africa with
her employers, the McCall family. She was employed as a nanny to the latter’s two children who refused to
leave Wales without Dinah. McCall, head-brewer and engineer, was at that time, employed by Jacob Letterstedt,
at his Newlands Brewery. Samuel was also employed by Letterstedt and worked in the engine room of the
brewery. He met his future bride while on a duty call to the McCall residence in Palmboom Road. She died 15
May 1944 of cancer of the sigmoid colon.

The book "The Durban Light Infantry" Volume II, 1935 to 1960, by Lieutenant-Colonel AC Martin, published in
1969, on page 463 has this entry :
South African Engineers Coy attached to Royal Durban Light Infantry Roll of Honour Sapper Pelteret, E.J.,
[sic] Commonwealth, Killed in Action, 29 May 1942. On page 107, it says Sapper E G Pelteret was badly injured
... and died as a POW.
However, EG Pelteret does not in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Register or on the Durban Light
Infantry Roll of Honour for he did not die. He was captured at Gazala and sent as a P.O.W. to Northern
Italy. Whilst there, he was badly wounded and repatriated to the Union in a P.O.W. exchange in 1943.
The book is an excellent reference and it contains information taken from the Regimental War Diaries.
Because the Regiment heard nothing more from Pelteret it was probably assumed that he had died and somebody
entered this information as such, which then became lore.
The military record supplied by the South African National Defence Force in brief reads as follows:
12509 Pelteret, Edward George b. 24.9.09, a Woodworking Machinist was attested to the 2nd Field Coy, SA
Engineering Corp; missing in action May 1942; injured – fractured pelvis - whilst P.O.W; repatriated in
prisoner exchange Apr 1943; demobilised medically unfit Sept 1945; to a position of Storeman in the SAR&H.
For services during WW II he war awarded1939-45 Star and Africa Star
