Re. my previous posting I wrongly described Diana and Mary Pepperday as Joseph Pepperday's daughters when in fact they were his sisters.

However, I may have been on the right track as I have a copy of the marriage certificate of their other brother James (b. 1818) to AVIS CLARKE in 1845. If it could be established that Avis were a member of the same Clarke family,( her father's name being shown as William on the marriage certificate) then it would tie the Abbott, Clarke and Pepperday families together, bearing in mind that the Pepperday's other sister Elizabeth married Thomas Abbott senior.

Thomas Abbott junior and William Clarke could ostensibly have been cousins, as they are both shown on the Census return as nephews of Thomas and Georgiana Pepperday,

Where's Inspector Frost when you need him ?
