Hi
How are you progressing with your Espin research. I am descended from the Espins on my fathers side. The Thomas Espin you mention, Master of Mathmatics in Louth, is the son of Thomas Espin, farmer from Bullington. He is the one buried in the Priory Gardens in Louth. I have several times got mixed up with the Woodhall Espins and tried to find a connection with them but failed due to missing records. I was told the Espins came to Lincolnshire originally from Belgium via Holland as drainage engineers but as yet found no evidence of this. I realize this may be old news to you now as your post was nearly 2 years ago. Regards Paul
