Nationality & Ethnicity

POPLE is so common a name in North Somerset that in only one of the County's several registration districts - that of Axbridge, which covers the area from Burnham-On-Sea to Weston-Super-Mare - some 185 Poples are listed on the 1891 census. Among them were twelve different Elizabeth Poples and eleven William Poples. The Poples were mostly farmworkers or self-employed craftsmen of no great social standing who did not need to keep family records for inheritance purposes as did the more prosperous landed families. During the 17th century, the name acquired various spellings - Popel, Popley, Popple, Poppell are some - but our line remained Pople.
