Peggotty
The Peggotty family are fictional characters in Charles Dickens's 1850 novel "David Copperfield".
Daniel Peggotty.
Yarmouth fisherman Daniel Peggotty is the brother of Clara. Referred to as "Mr. Peggotty", he is a fisherman and dealer in lobsters, crabs, and crawfish. He lives in a converted boat on the beach at Yarmouth with Emily, Ham, and Mrs. Gummidge. When Emily abandons them to elope with Steerforth, Daniel vows to find her. Steerforth later leaves Emily and she is re-
unloving Miss Murdstone, the sister of David's cruel stepfather Mr Murdstone. 
She marries carrier Mr Barkis and is afterwards sometimes referred to as Mrs. Barkis, a name Aunt Betsey Trotwood regards as much more suitable. On her husband's death Peggotty inherits £3,000 — equivalent to about £ in present-day terms. After his death, she becomes Betsy Trotwood's servant and companion.
Peggotty has been played by Judy Cornwell (2000), Pauline Quirke (1999), Jenny McCracken (1986), Lila Kaye
