loomis Quote \| Reply \|	Wonderful Names from the past replied on: 12/26/2007 6:17:49 PM I (and around half of the contributors to this site) have the splendid GERVASE PEPPERDAY as an ancestor. (Married at St Lawrence Church, Heanor.in 1803, died in 1831 and buried as above).
Jenks Quote \| Reply \|	Wonderful Names from the past replied on: 12/26/2007 8:15:03 PM Hi Loomis, That will take some beating, I thought that I had a link at first with AGUILLA PEPPERDINE, but that was cheating because he was from Lincolnshire. I nearly forgot about ONESIMUS BROWN and his brothers, I am connected to them through the Gills.

loomis Quote \| Reply \|	Wonderful Names from the past replied on: 12/27/2007 3:53:02 PM Porkpiebaby, being descended from GERVASE PEPPERDAY you will also have as a relative the equally splendidly named WINSOME BACON. Sounds like she won the meat raffle! Incidentally, her middle name was MERCIA.

It reflects the nasal dialect of that and the East Anglia region. Other derivatives locally are PEBERDY and PEABODY, although I have found 14 different spellings of the surname in my family tree. One poor soul had a different spelling on each of his Baptism, Marriage, and Death certificates!
Jenks Quote \| Reply \|	Wonderful Names from the past replied on: 12/27/2007 7:56:57 PM You could be right there loomis with the Pepperdine / Pepperday, all of those different spellings remind me of the Bircumshaw's I seem to find in every local family line, and each time it's spelt differently.

My 4 x g.grandmother was MARY BIRKUMSHIRE, whose daughter Ellen (Slack) married GERVASE PEPPERDAY. (Here we go again)!! I find the same results as yourself with the many variations of the surname we now usually spell BIRCUMSHAW. Most people were illiterate in those days,and unable to spell, so their name would be recorded as pronounced.
porkpiebaby Quote \| Reply \|	Wonderful Names from the past replied on: 12/28/2007 9:02:39 AM Loomis...Mary Birkumshire was my 5x g grandmother! Ellen was my 4x great grandma, but by her illigitimate daughter Hannah Slack, not by one of the Pepperdays!
loomis Quote \| Reply \|	Wonderful Names from the past replied on: 12/28/2007 10:13:52 AM Therefore.......... WINSOME BACON is both your 4th half-cousin once removed, and your 5th full cousin twice removed!!
porkpiebaby Quote \| Reply \|	Wonderful Names from the past replied on: 12/28/2007 10:27:35 AM Thanks Loomis...I haven't got any Bacons...YET!
porkpiebaby Quote \| Reply \|	Wonderful Names from the past replied on: 12/28/2007 10:28:00 AM And what does that make us to each other?!
loomis Quote \| Reply \|	Wonderful Names from the past replied on: 12/28/2007 10:59:05 AM quote: And what does that make us to each other?! We have a similar relationship, i.e. 4th half-cousins once removed and 5th full cousins once removed. My last post was inaccurate as I said TWICE removed instead of ONCE in respect of your 5th cousinship. Of course, it is possible that Gervase WAS the biological father of Hannah Slack, and subsequently made an honest woman of Ellen after she gave birth to Hannah. Gervase's granddaughter Sarah b. 1831 married Joseph Bacon b.1827. We are in contact through G.R., a look at Anna's tree will give you all the Bacon bits.
