Descendants of George Peeps
First Generation
1. George Peeps was born estimated 1693 in of, Burnham, Norfolk, England. He was buried 1 on 12 Sep 1758 in St. Mary's, Brancaster, Norfolk, England.
It seems very likely that George Peeps is the ancestor of all the Peeps/Peapes/Peaps/Papes of Norfolk and possibly Tynemouth also. The origin of George is uncertain. His baptism and marriage records have not been found in Burnham area records (yet). There were families in Lynn, Norwich and Great Yarmouth in this period. But as yet I have no record of a baptism of a George. The records of the Pepys families of Burnham seem to peter out two generations before this George - but this could be because the parish records of this period have not been transcibed as yet.
Clearly George is either descended from (in most likely order):
A. the original Burnham line of Pepys
B. the original South Creake line of Pepys
C. the Norwich or Great Yarmouth Pepys (who are presumably descended from one of the above).
D. some coincidental origin of the Peeps/Peaps/Peapes name separately to the Pepys name in the same place - which seems extraordinarily unlikely.
