Talk:Peploe Wood

I am not sure that "Peploe Wood" meets the definition of a "double barreled" name.

Both Samuel and Thomas signed their works, and were generally referred to, as "T.P. Wood" and "S.P. Wood", not as "S. Peploe Wood" or "T. Peploe Wood", which would have been the case if they considered "Peploe Wood" their last name.

Thomas died to soon to appear in a lot of public records, but Samuel appears in the census, marriage records, and death records with "Samuel", "Samuel P." or "Samuel Peploe" as his first name, and "Wood" as his last name. Similarly, Samuel's wife, Amelia, appears only as "Wood", never "Peploe Wood". Their daughter, Florence, had "Peploe" as a middle name, but her maiden name is always given as "Wood".

Perhaps even more to the point, when Samuel's grand-daughter, Gwendolyn Meacham, decided to take on her mother's maiden name, to show her connection to S.P. and T.P., she changed her name to "Wendy Wood", not "Wendy Peploe Wood".

The "Peploe" comes from T.P and S.P's grandmother, Mary Peploe, who married Joseph Wood in 1776. Mary Peploe was descended from the brother of Bishop of Chester, Samuel Peploe. She was also related to the Scottish artist, Samuel Peploe, though I would have to dig out my genealogy charts to give you the exact connection.Jpg1954 (talk) 16:07, 23 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Fair enough; please amend the page as you see fit. Perhaps you could work your explanation, with citations, into the two articles? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:24, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

OK, added commentary. Do I need refs? or are the refs on their own pages (esp C.S Meacham) suffucient? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpg1954 (talk • contribs) 18:24, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
