My name is John Pepperdine. My grandfather William Pepperdine married Olive Kate Quipp. Both of these surnames are now registered with the Guild of One-Name Studies http://www.one-name.org and you can contact me by e-mail at pepperdine@one-name.org or quipp@one-name.org. Do get in touch, there is much still to be discovered. For additional details of more recent generations please contact me, as in the interests of privacy they cannot be displayed here. If you have an interest in any of these names this is your site not mine. Please share what you have by contributing and we will all benefit.
Here we will attempts to summarise what is known about the origin and distribution of three surnames. Quipp is believed to have arisen as a variant of Whipp For more details go to Quipp home page Pepperdine is believed to have arisen as a variant of Pedwardine For more details go to Pepperdine home page Pedwardine is a village on the border between Wales and England. As a surname it spread to Lincolnshire and other counties but died out in the early 18th Century. For more details go to Pedwardine home page Problem page here are discussed current problems Problems
Another interest of mine is the recording of Memorial Inscriptions. This activity is confined to south west Norfolk and so is quite separate from the One-Name Studies. I have used this site to record an example of each text or verse encountered and tried to trace the origins of as many as possible.
