Looking back to Jennypeg's reply, the marriage register at Codnor church shows the young Thomas Abbott, now aged 24, upon his marriage to Emily Moon in 1866 as living in Hunslet(Leeds). This is where his uncle Thomas Pepperday moved to from Codnor, so it would seem that Thomas moved there with him.

Thomas Abbott does not appear to have lived with his father, Matthew Abbott, at least not from the age of one. Could this be due to his mother dying while he was in his infancy and his being brought up by other family members ? A search of the B.M.D. register might be useful.

It may also be worth checking If Joseph Pepperday's daughter Diana (b.1808) married a Clarke, as this would explain both the young Abbott and Clarke as being the nephews of Thomas and Georgiana Pepperday.

I know for certain that Joseph Pepperday's remaining daughter Mary was not a Clarke as she was my ggg grandmother and married William Morley.

Phew !! Does any of this make sense, or have I had too many heavy suppers ?
