I have a number of Pepys who are not shown in the published genealogiesbut Walter Pepys 1876 is one of only two "modern" ones that are missedfrom the published genealogies, the other family is in Devon.
It may be that he is from one of the lines that adopted the Pepys namebut
are not directly related (e;g the Pepys-Cockerells)
There is also a Prof. Mark B. Pepys who is the son of Jacob Pepys of SAwho was apparently Lithuanian and had the typical Lithuanian name of"Pepys"!!
Below is all the information that I have on Walter and family. FromKelly's,
and Telegraph Obit.
