Porkpiebaby, I will try to fill in a few ancestral details for you. Have a wide sheet of paper handy !
Ellen (Eleanor) Slack b.1778 was the daughter of Joseph Slack b. Heanor 1730 and Mary Birkumshire b. Heanor 1773.

Ellen married Gervase Pepperday b. Hathern 1774. Gervase's father was William Pepperday b.- 1755, he married Elizabeth George b.Long Whatton 1744. Elizabeth's parents were Thomas George b.Long Whatton 1711 and Mary - b. Long Whatton c.1715.

Ellen's illegitimate daughter, Hannah, you already have details of. Gervase and Ellens kids were :- Joseph b. Normanton (on Soar?)1803, Elizabeth b. Heanor 1804, Diana b. 1808 Pentrich, Samuel b. 1812 Selston, Mary. b.1815 Codnor, and James b. 1818 Codnor.

Joseph married Susanna Skerritt b. 1824 Alfreton. Their kids were :- William b. 1831 Swanwick, Sarah b.1831 Pentrich, Thomas b.1833 Codnor, Georgiana b.1835 Codnor, Diana b.1835 Codnor, Ann b.c1836 Codnor, Ellen b.1843 Belper, Walter b.1846 Codnor.

Elizabeth married Thomas Abbott. Their kids were Thomas b. c.1840 and Jarvis.

Diana - no details.

Samuel married Charlotte Rigley b.Cottingham, Northants 1812. Their kids were :- Jarvais b. 1838 Heanor, Thomas b. 1842 Heanor, Jemima b. 1846 Heanor, and Gillian b. 1850 Heanor.

Mary (my g.g.grandmother) married William Morley b. 1813 Ilkeston. Their kids were :- George Morley b.1837, Thomas Morley b.1840, Samuel Pepperday Morley b.1842, William Morley b.1845, Joseph Morley b.1848, Charlotte Morley b.1850, Gervase Morley b.1850, and Abraham Morley (my g.grandfather) b.1852, all at Codnor.

James married Avis Clark b. Codnor 1823. Their kids were :- Ellen b.1850 Codnor, Georgiana b.1853 Codnor, and Hannah b.1859 Codnor.

Note how the christian names recur.

Gervase Pepperday had two siblings, Thomas b. 1776 Heanor, and Mary b.1780 Hathern.
Both were registered with their surname spelt Peberdy. Thomas married Ruth Mellor b. Heanor 1777. Their grandson Edward, b. Ruddington 1837 was registered under the surname Peabody, and his family retain that surname to this day. I have a complete record of this lineage. Pepperdays, Peberdays and Peabodys are all of the same stock, but at that time most were illiterate and surname registrations were recorded as pronounced. Hope this fills in a few gaps.
