I think I may be able to shed some light on the Thomas Abbott/Pepperday connection.

Gervase Pepperday b.1774 was my gggg grandfather. Two of his children were Joseph (b.Codnor 1803) and Elizabeth (b.Codnor 1804.) Elizabeth married Thomas Abbott (b.1802.)

Joseph had children Thomas( b.1833) and Georgiana (b.1835), and these would seem to be the householders. In all probability the young Thomas Abbott would be the grandchild of Thomas and Elizabeth Abbott,therefore Thomas and Georgiana Pepperday would be his aunt and uncle.

Thomas Pepperday later married Sarah Brown, and they moved to Hunslet,from where their daughter Susannah, and son Fred later emigrated to Pennsylvania, where a whole colony of Pepperdays abounds.

Incidentally I have more than ninety Pepperdays in my family tree. If anyone requires information on this family they are welcome to contact me.
