Thank you very much Winnie I hadn't seen the last census. I always thought Fred was Edna’s cousin with having a 10 year gap between them. The last one is very interesting. I was led to believe Samuel worked on the railway. Also I knew another child had died. I know Ellen Pepper M in L was a Bannister before marriage and came from Lathom.

Actually out of 9 children 2 survived…no wonder poor mother died at 41 in 1921 . Most of the children who died were around the year of 1918 / 1919 / 1920. I wonder if it was because of the Influenza at that time.

Thank you Winnie only the Non - Com children are Samuel and Elizabeth’s children though. All the maternal families were Non Com’s. I have seen all the burials on the Cemeteries page.

Sorry ,looking at records Bertha isn't one of their children as mother's maiden name is Weaver

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1907
Surname Forename(s) Mother's Maiden Name Year Sub-District
CROMPTON Ada PEPPER 1907 Hindley Wigan & Leigh She died in 1907 although the burial records it says daughter of Robert

Winnie, thank you for all the work you do for the site. You are so thorough in everything you undertake.

Its my pleasure, I love searching family history !!

Well done Keith with a master craft of colouring the
