1881 census has a Mary Pepler bn Red Villa, Monmouthshire married to Frederick
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XQ37-QJ9

there is also a Rose Pepler showing on the original - daughter age 3 months bn Trowbridge.  In 1891 Rose is with Laura age 8 bn Trowbridge in the Melksham workhouse at Semington. Presumably this is the Laura with the family in 1901

Thanks jan57; you beat me to it

[rosie99]

I favour Mary Harding too but can't see the other couple in 1881 to eliminate them.

I have not found the marriage for Mary and Jacob yet, could be that they never married.

 I  can't  see a marriage for them either  ,    something's  bugging  me also  ,    why   on   1891  and 1901  census  does  it have different   places  of birth  for   Mary ?    and also    if Mary  and Jacob were  together in 1891 , then  why  Rose  and Laura not  with them  also , instead of  Workhouse  ? (  though    it's   possible    they  were  ill  and  in the infirmary part )
