Hi Alan After a quick look let me offer suggestions based on FMP and previous comments 1/2/3. Lottie married a 1896 RJP but no trace after 1939.(RJP died 1964 Newton Abbot0 4 It appears that he moved to Bath as a waiter but no apparent trace of marriage. Further questions arise from apparent WWW1 war service ,incuding disabling woundsin 1915.Which makes you wonder what Nellie did (? Nursing,looking after mother post 1911) As you say, intriguing Regards Richard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan R Moorhouse via Sent: 13 April 2016 14:34 To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [G] Peplow in Bath Robert PEPLOW in Worcester in 1911 was printer compositor born Bromsgrove. In 1901 he was a coachman groom born Bromsgrove. As Polly found, Robert John PEPLOW aged 18 born Bromsgrove had joined the Worcester Regiment in Oxford on June 13th 1891 for 7 years. He was discharged a corporal 7.10.1900 as medically unfit for further service. He had extended his service to 12 years on 18.10.1897. He was the son of John and Fanny PEPLOW of Wellesbourn Grove, Stratford upon Avon, and had married Lizzie Catherine HOWELL at Worcester Register Office 23.12.1896. The births of 2 children are listed and his papers indicate "Wife with Husband". All 3 pages of his pension record are stamped "Deceased" - but with no associated date. Robert John PEPLOW married Lizzie Catherine HOWELL Dec q 1896 Worcester RD She was born Sep q 1871 Aston RD and died (Lizzie C PEPLOW) Jun q 1946 Worcester RD age 74. Robert J PEPLOW married Lottie RASHLEIGH Sep q 1919 Falmouth RD She was born Sep q 1901 Helston RD. Can't see an obvious death or remarriage for her. If these are all the same Robert 1. did he and Lizzie divorce prior to 1919? or 2. was his marriage to Lottie bigamous? 3. what happened to Lottie? 4. die he never marry Nell(ie/y) MILLAGE - or if he did was that bigamous too? Intriguing! ----Original message---- >From : [email protected] Date : 13/04/2016 - 10:55 (GMTDT) To : [email protected], [email protected] Subject : Re: [G] Peplow in Bath I have found a Robert J Peplow on the 1891 census in Headington, Oxfordshire. He is a lodger with a family called Wills, and it says he was born in 1873 in Worcestershire, and that he was a Painter Compositor. The Wills have a daughter called Nellie, age 6 amongst their children. ----Original message---- >From : [email protected] Date : 13/04/2016 - 09:34 (GMTDT) To : [email protected] Subject : Re: [G] Peplow in Bath And Florence Louise MILLAGE married Frederick Henry G MILFORD in the Sep quarter of 1904 in the Bath RD... There is also an interesting Army Pension Record for Robert John PELOW on Ancestry, although it does not help you with this particular query.

The parents are William and Matilda MILLAGE and the family are at Grove Street, Bathwick in 1891 (RG12/1931 f9) Ancestry have the surname in 1901 as MILLINGE and in 1911 as MILLEDGE; Nelly (1901) and Nellie (1911) is still unmarried. In 1881 they are at 22 Grove Street, Batchwick - and Nellie is enumerated (and transcribed) as Noblice! In terms of a marriage, don't forget that if you find the mothers maiden name from the birth indexes but she was a widow when she married she would have married under her married rather than maiden name. However in your case it could be they never married, particularly if Robert PEPLOW was still married? Have you found deaths for Lizzie Catharine or Lottie?

All are listed with a mother's surname of Millage. I can find no marriage between a Peplow and Millage anywhere. > However in 1939, Victor and Betty are living with Nellie Peplow Widow, b. 28 Nov 1877 in Bath. Again I can find no Nellie Millage that fits. Nellie dies in 1962 at the age of 84 and there is a Robert J Peplow that dies in Bath in 1934 at the age of 62. There appears to be only one Robert J Peplow born in the 1870s and in 1911, his wife Lizzie Catharine Howell is living in Stratford on Avon. He appears to be in prison at the time - though I have not found him yet. There is also a Robert J. Peplow in 1919 that marries a Lottie Rashleigh in Falmouth. I suspect that these are all the same Robert J and that he may have been the father of the three children in Bath. I'm hoping some one may be able to help me find the children's father's name. If it is Robert J - he seems to have been 'a bit of a lad' > > Marie (GOONS 5318) Bringing the world together one surname at a time. > 'A Pepler Name' http://pepler.tribalpages.com 'Hedgerow - the > Ancestors' http://cranberry.tribalpages.com Pepler DNA Study > http://www.familytreedna.com/public/pepler-ow/ 'Scroops, Scropes and > Scroopes' http://dentonlk.tribalpages.com 'Peplers and Peplows' > pepler.one-name.net _____________________________________________ RootsWeb lists - surnames, regions, software, etc: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
