Alfred Moore Pepper (1865-1917)

Alfred Moore Pepper was born in Sheffield and moved to Scarborough with his family before the 1881 census. He married Jane Kimberley in 1906 and they lived with her family at Lonsdale Villa, Lonsdale Road in Scarborough. He has a studio in Victoria Road from at least 1890 and continued working probably until he died aged 52. Sometimes the cards are inscribed “Pepper & Co.” He is buried in Scarborough Cemetery.
