Andrew was born in Piddletrenthide, Dorset about 1819 to parents unknown. He signed Attestation papers on 25 Oct 1839 at Dorchester, Dorset and joined the 62nd Foot Regiment. He was a part of this regiment for over seven and a half years. He then joined the 32nd Foot Regiment for almost eleven years. After eighteen and a half years of service he joined the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment and served at Montreal, Canada East for six and a half years.[1] He was originally stationed at Chatham barracks, Kent.[2] On 26 Nov 1843 Andrew married Sarah Ann Sophia Dray in Gillingham, Kent.[3][4] Their first child, Martha Jane, was baptized in Gillingham on 20 Oct 1844.[5] It is uncertain how many times Andrew was stationed in Canada but at least five children were born before he moved his family there about 1858.[6][7][8][9] He was stationed in or near Montreal, Canada East for at least three years.[10] His two youngest children were born during this time.[11][12] He was pensioned out of the British army in 1864 after twenty five years of service.[13][14]By the time of the 1871 Canada census, he and Sarah were living in Westminster, Middlesex, Ontario.[15] Andrew Lepper died in London, Middlesex, Ontario on 8 Feb 1881.[16] He was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery and Crematorium, London, Middlesex, Ontario.[17]
