About the Pepler One-Name Study

Like many others, I started researching one-name to find a missing ancestor.

I felt that if I collected all the Peplers into a big pile, sorted out the families and organized them, my Richard would float to the surface. After about five years and several thousand Peplers/Peplows, Richard emerged. It turned out that he was born a Peploe, married as a Pepler, appeared on the census as a Peploe again and died a Pepler.

The information I have found and the constructed families can be found on my Pepler Name website in the links section. There are pictures and stories from around the world that people have been generous enough to share with me. Major families groups are marked with small colored squares

The Archive link will take you to Files on Peplxx marriages and births. Thes can be searched on the Peplxxs name and also on the surname of the non-Peplxx parent or spouse

Variants

This study is registered for the variants Peplar, Peplow, Peploe, Peppler and Peplo. I also consider Pepelowe, Pepplow, Peplor, Peplowe, and anything that has 2 P’s separated by a vowel and followed by an L. I do rule out those names that end in ‘ski’ and Peplaus are on the fence.

Because there is such a variation even in the life events of a single individual, I have a tendency to refer to the name as Peplxx. I am always surprised by the suffix .

Historical occurrences

Distribution of the name

Peplxxs are everywhere but usually in small numbers.

There appear to be both Peplows and Peplers from the beginning of surnames in both the British Isles and Germanic regions. Groups migrated from both countries to the Americas and Australia. One Germanic Pepler wandered down to South Africa very early and nearly all of that name there can be traced back to him.

The large question unanswered is if there is a connection between the British and Germanic families.

The earliest Peplers in Britain are around Wiltshire and London, the earliest Peplo??s around Shropshire and London. In Germany, Peplo??s are in Pommern near Ruegan and Pepplers are more in the Baden area.
