I can't help you much with Thomas Pepper but if you have a look around Keith Morris' excellent site Caernarfon Traders you may dig something up.
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wlsccaer/contents.html

I've had a quick look around and, although I couldn't see any sign of Thomas Pepper as a tailor there is an Edward Pepper (his son on the 1901?) as a Tailor in 28 Pool Street in the 1930's etc. By the 60's the address has E Barnet Pepper as an Optician.

The newpapers in 1916 mentioned a Chris Pepper of Bank Quay (same area as the 1901 address you have) who had been wounded three times in WW1. he, apparently, was with the 2nd RWF.
The town War Memorial has a T Kennedy Pepper. He died 28/5/1917 and is buried at the local St Peblig Parish Church. He sewrved as Thomas Kennedy. The parish burial book which names him as Thomas Kennedy Pepper gives his address as 30 Wesley Street and he was 46 years old. I cannot readily tie him to your family or indeed find him in the locality on the 1901.

Edward Barnet Pepper died a few weeks ago aged 90, but his son Michael still runs the opticians at Pool Street. Perhaps you could get in touch with him. http://www.barnetpepper.co.uk/team.htm

There is another Pepper family in Caernarfon, but I don't think they are related.

Hi I realise this is a very old thread, but just where did the possible "Kennedy"  middle name for a Thomas Pepper b c 1863 Manchester occ Tailor who "Married" c 1886 come from?

Did Thomas/Elizabeth/Eliza also have a Catherine Ellen Pepper June qtr 1898 Carnavon 11b 469
Winifred Elizabeth Pepper September qtr 1901 Carnavon 11b 422
Margaret Matilda Pepper September qtr 1904 Carnavon 11b 442
All mmn Jones ( Same as 1901)
Seem to be in Hay, Brecon in 1911?

Hi There.

 I know very little about Thomas Pepper. When I started the thread in 2007 it was for a friend who
did not have a computer.

Hi ... I was always told as a child that PEPPER was not the family surname, that the family surname was KENNEDY ... Thomas had stole a lamb/sheep?? and had ran away over to Ireland from the justice system and picked up the name Pepper before he eventually returned back here. My grandfather Robert Pepper was Christopher's son (so would of been Thomas's grandson)  x
