London Parish advice for John Pepwell

[greenvalley]

I am looking for more information on:

John Pepwell Esq, Bell Dock, Wapping and also his daughter Rebecca Catherine Pepwell. I know that Rebecca was married to William Ellis, apothecary of Fenchurch London by 1776.

But I don't know what year she married and I wonder if there are old parish records that would let me search for father and daughter, her birth and perhaps her marriage to William Ellis.

Rebecca Catherine and her husband later went to Jamaica where they lived at Martha Brae and I think she was known as Catherine, not Rebecca.

I tried to look at parish records but I have no idea which parish to look at as I have no idea where Bell Dock and/or Wapping are (other than in London).

Any advice where to start looking would be much appreciated.

A link to the current day church.  It is certainly old!

baptism of Rebecca Catherine Pepwell 15 Nov 1751 at St. John, Wapping, Borough of Tower Hamlets, Middx which sounds like your person but parents given as John Pepwell Anchor Smith & Rebecca Pepwell.  I assume Anchor Smith is his occupation.

Image available on Ancestry.

While you were finding that baptism Pheno, I found one for a Mary Pepwell, baptised 3 Feb 1757, born 1757.  Parents John, occ. Anchor Smith, and Elizabeth.  Residence is Wapping.

Sounds like this could be Rebecca's sister.

Thank you very much Pheno and girlguide
