Hi Jim, According to Family Search Anna Pippy married Nathan Picot 24 DEC 1840 St Johns Nf, , Kent, EnglandShe died 18 Sep 1900 Clemente Pepy born: 14 OCT 1584 Margate, Kent, England There are a number of Pepy, Poppie, Poppy etc in Kent area, especially Dover. Take a look on Family Search There are also lots of Pippys on Ancestry - Pape seems to be the usual one for Kent area. No Pippys in Kent though apart from one in Greenwich which is nowhere near Dover. I couldn't find a Philip Pippy buried in Kent. There are a few family trees for Pippys who were born Scotland, went to Newfoundland and died in England. One has a lovely photo of a young gentleman on there in Newfoundland. He died in WW2. So take a look at Ancestry too. Re: Hello List, I have been researching the PIPPY family for years from about 1754 and later in Newfoundland, but have been unable in over 30 years to make a connection back to the U.K. or the Channel Islands. A cousin has just found a burial on Find My Past for one Philip PIPPY, buried 13 June 1819 at St. Peter and St. Paul in River Parish (Dover). This the first instance of anyone by that surname in Kent. We are wondering if this was a solo event, or if there was family living in the area. Is there any way of determining if there are others of that surname buried there? We have yet to try the censuses for the area. Known variants of the surname are PIPPEY (known around Bristol), and PEPPY (found around London and Cornwall). Any help or ideas welcome.

Because of the strong legend that they were Huguenot, French spellings have been considered. The Channel Islands have been scoured as well, but nothing definite. If they were ever there, we either don't recognize the early form of the name, or they came and went between censuses. <snip> There are a few family trees for Pippys who were born Scotland, went to Newfoundland and died in England.

We found a PEPPY in Ireland, but again no other info at the moment. We do know that Huguenots went to Ireland just after 1066, and one of the oldest Huguenot churches outside France and London still exists. We couldn't get anywhere there either. Many Thanks for the info and advice. Jim
