Mary,
Details confirmed from Parish Records P4191 listed as Peppard at marriage although name interchanges to Pepper. Married Harriet Sophia Jones 28 Jan 1864 (as Pepper son of John Pepper). He was listed as a labourer living at Garretstown, Parish of Rahill, Rathvilly, Co Carlow, which is approx 10 kms from Holdenstown where Harriette lived. The marriage took place in the Registrars Office, Baltinglass, although Parish Records seem to record the marriage being in the Church of Baltinglass. His father is listed as John Pepper, also a labourer. Marriage was by license. They lived in Clough, Baltinglass, Wicklow after they were married, moving to Killalish in Feb 1864 (birth of John) and to Dublin in 1869 and moved back to Baltinglass, Co Wicklow for the birth of Julia and Margaret. In 1873 they lived in Kiltegan, Co Wicklow. I can't find any trace of his father John, this is the link I need to get back further.
