I have a large site at www.tribalpages.com/tribes/pepler (this site will not allow me to put in the entire address, if you go to Tribalpages the userid is pepler) devoted entirely to the surname Pepler/Peploe/ Peplow and it's many spelling variations. It is not yet an entirely connected tree. There is one line descending from a William Peplowe near Shawbury, Shropshire in mid-1400s that includes the founders of the present Peplow Jewelers and the artist Samuel Peploe among others. There is another line that includes Samuel Peploe, Bishop of Chester and his descendants. A third are the descendents of Edward Peploe of Great Stanmore, that I believe I descend from as well as many of the Peploe/Peplow settlers in Australia and New Zealand. Another group covers the German family Peppler that were prosperous butchers in Maryland. Then there is the bunch that settled in Southwark and Lambeth areas of London and ran a large hackney service. There are indications that the Bishop's group is a branch of the Shawbury line, that the Hackney owners descend from the Bishop's brother, that the Peplows from the island of Rugen that later settled in Illinois were originally from the Welsh border area and that the group with their roots in Bromsgrove may also have connections to the Shawbury Peploes. Finally there is a group that settled around the Wallops in Hampshire that insisted on spelling their name with the 'pp' normally seen in Germany. Perhaps they descend from some of the Flemish Weavers that were brought to England by the first Lord Methuen. Others would have it that the Peploes came to England with the conqueror or met him up in Wales. We are still working on sorting it out Whatever the case, it is statistically a 'small' name. In the 1880/1881 census of England, USA and Canada there are only about 2000 individuals including soundex variations. The rest of the world seems to have had even less. I have put 'my' particular family on this site, if you are interested in other lines, please visit my tribalpages site mentioned above. Marie |
