Thanks for the info. I'll have to have a look when I am in the area.
 
There are also a number of Peppers buried at Warstone Lane, possibly including Josiah's parents (Joseph and Emma), a sister (Emma), an uncle and a cousin (also both named Josiah). And even his grandmother.

There is a report of Joseph's death in the Birmingham Journal, 26 May 1866 - accident, ladder broke.
