porkpiebaby,

Clarification of William and Sarah Pepperdays' birthdates.

William was born in 1827,in Pentrich, Sarah in 1831.

William Pepperday had a tragic life, being widowed before he was 21. he had his first child, Thomas, with Sarah Wright. He then married Sarah Bullock with whom he had further children.

For more information on William, read the 'Childrens Employment Commission 1842 (Mines)',a report by J M Fellowes in the employment of children an youmg persons in the mines. The author is Winstanley, and the book can be found in any library. (The local studies section if you live in Derbyshire). It really makes harrowing reading. William started in the pit at nine years old, working from 3 a.m. to 3.p.m. for which he was paid half a day.

We don't know we're born !
