A quick thanks to Pat Hughes, Graham Price and Roy Meddings for pointing me toward this
group and promptly posting and replying to my "Where is Churchstoke?" query.
And now to the heart of the matter - does anyone recognize this Peppett family:
William Peppett married Anne Elizabeth Weaver, April 7, 1823, Churchstoke, Shropshire,
England
My understanding of the family history around Churchstoke is as follows:
The Peppetts left France at the time of the St. Bartholomew's Massacre 23 Aug 1572
when 2000 Huguenots were butchered in Paris as part of the Catholic Church's Counter
Reformation. As Huguenots, they fled to Shropshire England where they became farmers. In
1853 William Peppett married Annie Elizabeth Weaver at Churchstoke, Shropshire. At some
later time they emigrated to Nova Scotia, Canada where they had many children.
