    Occupation From 1850 to 1871  Tower Inn, Slapton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    Victualler 
    • At the Tower Inn by 1850 (White's Directory of that year). Also recorded there in 1856 when events described in court case in Jan 1857 occured, also there at time of 1861 and 1871 censuses.
      Both painter and innkeeper at the time of the 1871 census.

      Robert was not the first in the family to be an innkeeper etc.
      His sister Maria married Morty McMahon, who was innkeeper / vicutaller / beer retailer in Torcross in 1841. Following that his brother William was innkeeper in Torcross in 1851; William, though, had moved to Plymouth and changed occupation by 1861.

      In addition to this, Philip Pepperell had ventured into being an Inn keeper in Slapton by 1850 though he either didn't take to it or was unsuited, as he'd returned to his previous occuapation of mason by the time of the 1861 census.
      Philip, though, was not a close relation of Robert's, but the 2nd cousin of Robert's grandfather, so it seems likely to have been chance that two Pepperells were running hostelries just across the road from each other at the same time.
