Sally G. Peltier

From our Image Source, the Camden New Journal, we learn than Sally Peltier was born in Buckinghamshire and that her father, Eric Anson, was a farm manager. Due to his job, the family moved frequently during her younger years. Her childhood on farms, surrounded by domestic livestock and wildlife, made it no surprise that she chose to study zoology at Southampton University. She died, aged 85 years in 2021.

Our researches would seem to show that she was born as Sarah G. Anson, her birth being registered in the 4th quarter of 1935 in the Aylesbury Registration District, Buckinghamshire and that her mother's maiden name was Platt. We know that Eric Garner Anson (1898-1973) had married a Hannah Platt (1902-1990) in 1925.

In the 1939 England and Wales Register the family are recorded as living at Wordsley House, Main Street, Stonnall, Walsall, Staffordshire. Her father was shown as a wholesale market garden salesman, a tractor and lorry driver. Electoral registers in 1945 and 1946 show her parents listed at South Cottage, Tracadie, Woodmancote, Henfield, Sussex.

As Sally G. Anson, she married Charles Athanase Peltier (1937-1975) in the 1st quarter of 1964 in the Kensington Registration District, London. They had two children: David James G. Peltier whose birth was registered in the 1st quarter of 1966 in the Hammersmith Registration District, Greater London and Duncan Joseph F. Peltier whose birth was registered in the 4th quarter of 1972 in the St Pancras Registration District, Greater London.

She was listed as Peltier, S.G. in Post Office Telephone Directories in 1976 at 69 Leverton Street, London, NW5 and it was here on 31 July 1973 that her father was listed in probate records as dying and that when administration was granted on 25 August 1973 his effects totalled £834. Probate records also show her husband listed at this address when he died on 16 August 1975 and when administration was granted on 29 January 1976 his estate totalled £9,933.

Having been elected in 1974 and 1978 as a Labour party Councillor in the St John's Ward in the London Borough of Camden, she served as Mayor for the year 1979-80. 

As a teacher at Torriano Infants School, Torriano Avenue, London, NW5 2SJ, she served from before 7 December 1991 as a Director of the Camden Community Law Centre, where she also took on the role of Secretary on 17 January 2002. She resigned from both posts on 6 November 2003.

She is shown as 'SALLY PELTIER MAYOR, LONDON BOROUGH OF CAMDEN' on the Jubilee Walkway memorial plaque in Euston Road, London, NW1.
