Frank and Florence Pepper

[MacGrigor]

Yes, that's my great-grandparents. They were living in Finsbury up to 1938, but moved before war broke out, and my grandad was born in Cambridge in September 1939. It makes sense for Florence (or Irene, as she preferred to use her middle name, as did her parents), to move to Cambridge, as her father had grown up there, and that was where he hailed from. My grandad never knew his grandparents, so I doubt they moved to Cambridge too. It's a family mystery that I have only just begun to unravel with the discovery of Frank's heritage.

Thanks,

Adam

In case you need them for any research in the future deceased online has cremations/burials for Cambridge but you will need credits or a subscription.  You can get some information from the site such as the dates I posted without paying

Thanks Rosie99. You've been very helpful, and hopefully the website will help me with other research also.

Thanks again,

Adam

I knew it! They did live in Ireland, and I saw a record, but no information. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for that, but I'm afraid he was living in Lambeth in 1901.

[ for the notes pile ]
 
. . . . . bit of a coincidence tho?
Age, birthplace, similar occupation.

"2x lives"?


 

[MacGrigor]

Yes, it's definitely a strange coincidence.
