PEPPERS OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

[mothermacree]

I am searching for any relatives connected with JOHN PEPPER  b 1824 Hyson Green Nottinghamshire who was baptised at St Marys Church of England Nottingham, married there to Mary Hunt had one son John (Samuel) Pepper and then left for England never to return, having married in Australia and making a life with new family there.  He married REBECCA ALDOUS in Australia.  John lived in Radford Nottingham in 1841.
His parents were JOHN PEPPER and ELIZABETH DAVEY who lived Nottingham in Peppers St Radford in 1841 and Adams St Radfor in 1851-1861. Both these parents are buried at St Pauls Churchyard Cemetery in Hyson Green apparently. John owned the 'Cricketer Players Public House' in Radford and was also a lacemaker.  Elizabeth was baptised in St Marys Nottingham.
I also have MARY BRADDATH of Nottingham on my tree, a GGGGGrandmother married to JOHN PEPPER B 1761.
Then there is ANN ARAM b 1738 Clifton with Glapton Nottingham married to SAMUEL PEPPER b 1738 my GGGGG Grandparents.
Any information as to grave sites or pehaps family who may be around the area that would be great as my husband and I are travelling to UK in two weeks time with a view to visiting family connected sites etc.  Would love to hear from anyone who can provide more info.
Cheers

Don't know if there is a grave stone.

There is also a John Pepper buried 5 Nov 1819 aged 60yrs and a Mary 27 Aug 1848 aged 96 both at Gotham Church.

In all I have found 47 burial's at Gotham with the surname Pepper.

Hi Jack
Thank you for replying to my post.  I am Pamela Johnson and I am the GGGranddaughter of JOHN PEPPER born in Hyson Green Nottingham in 1824. He was married to MARY HUNT and had a child JOHN PEPPER but my GGGF travelled to Australia and met RACHEL ALDOUS on board ship and they later married which meant he was a bigamist by the looks of things as he abandoned his wife Mary and son back in England. My family line stems from that marriage of John and Rachel here in Australia.
His father JOHN PEPPER (GGGGF)was born in Gotham in 1790 and died in 1876 in Nottingham and is buried at St Nicholas Church Hyson Green. Apparently, he owned the Cricketer Players House in Radford.  His occupations on census forms indicate he was a Publican, a Farmer, a Gardener and a Sexton...an interesting array of occupations. He married Elizabeth DAVEY.
So, it will be interesting to see how we are related however I am ecstatic to find someone that is related to my Pepper line.  Would you be interested in corresponding with me with regards to our PEPPER family and swap research information.  I was in England in Aug/Sept 2013 and specifically made the drive through Nottinghamshire with the hope of finding some Pepper information. I was only there for a day so I was limited.  I did find Gotham and it's church and graveyards.  I did find Pepper graves and I took photos of them. I also found another little village near Gotham where there are Pepper graves also, but these are of more recent times so I assumed there were still Peppers living in the area. I took photos of those graves but am not sure who these Peppers are, perhaps you would know or your family would know.  I stumbled across them quite by accident as my husband and I were 'lost' on the highway and took a turn to get off and just drove straight into this little corner of a village with an old church.  The people in the neighbouring house were very nice and helpful and told us there were Peppers buried in the church across from them.  After that we drove to Gotham following their directions.  It was quite a moving time for me and I would have liked to have stayed longer but maybe I'll get another chance again.  Has your research unearthed any old photos of relatives, I would love to see them as that then puts a face to a name. I would be happy to invite you to my Ancestry tree so that you can see my family line yourself.  My email address is reachbell@optusnet.com.au if you would like to correspond. From there I could invite you to my tree via your email or you could ask to be invited if you wish via Ancestry...my family tree is called LAMBKIN JOHNSON EVERSPREADING BRANCHES and I had it private until recently so perhaps you can find it yourself. 
I am interested in hearing more from you and look forward to that.
Cheers Pamela Johnson

Hi Annie
Mary Braddath was my GGGGGrandmother also.  Can I ask which of Mary's children you are descended from?
Cheers
