Marian Victoria "Queenie" Burgess Peake, daughter of John Baker Burgess, was born in January 1887 in Swansea, England. In 1910, Marian came to Prince Edward Island. She lived with her sister Francis May and her brother-in-law Charles Wright in their home in Charlottetown and worked as a private nurse. Marian married Ernest DeBlois Peake (son of George Ellis Peake and Alice Rebecca DeBlois) on 7 February 1912 at St. Peter's Anglican Church in Charlottetown. Ernest had three children from his first marriage to Adelaide Wiggins (d. 1909): Cyril, Vera, and Charles (Bentley). Marian and Ernest had three children of their own: James, Ralph, and Elizabeth.
