Just asked my father for his aunty Peggy's number and she has filled in a few gaps for me.

Frank actually married Hilda Titley, although Peggy doesn't know if she had a middle name or another name in front of Hilda. Their children were as follows:
Cyril Frank
Bernard John
Joan Hilda
Lawrence (died age 3)
Marcus Ben (ben not benjamin and he was always called ben not marcus)
Laura Peggy
Alison Nora

Franks second wife was Hannah Gunn.

Peggy's daughter has apparently already drawn up a family tree back to the 1800's and they are going to send me  a copy. Once I get it I will copy it to you.

Thanks for your reply.

My father is fairly sure my Granddad Bernard John Epton was born 1919, and as he was a younger member of Frank's first family I always thought Frank would have been born late 1800s. Dad says Frank's first wife was Alice Mary something and they were married in Louth. She died, Frank moved to Nottingham and married into a family of which we have a photo with the surnames Gunn and Oxford on the rear. So I guess both could be him, but the dates are wrong???

I only met Frank once when I was about 5. My mother is a Frost from Derby area and I met all but one of her grandparents. My paternal Grandmother Doris May Epton (Nee Asher) is now 92 and has really enjoyed seeing my children grow up.

Yes that probably is the research I am refering to. It still comes up in the search engines if you search for Epton. It made extremely interesting reading.
Thanks again and any light you can shed on the Frank puzzel is welcome as for a long time, my parents and grand parents seem to have lost contact with the rest of their family and so know little about them.

Thanks again,
jonathan

I know that my great grandfather Frank Epton, moved from a farm near Louth, south Lincolnshire, to Nottingham. he had 2 wives and many children, my grandfather, Rev. Bernard John Epton was one of the youngest. There is quite an extended family of cousins and second cousins now in the Nottingham/Derby area. I live in Leeds and my parents (Rev. Michael C Epton and Yvonne S Epton (nee Frost)) and siblings are now down in Poole on the south coast. My Grandmother, Doris, is 92 and lives in Birkenhead, Wirral as does my Uncle, Rev. Paul A Epton and his family. I have a cousin, Paul's eldest daughter, a doctor, living out in Singapore, so we do get around. I am only just starting to do research on my family, so I don't know too much yet, but I have read that at least one branch of the Epton's goes back to 1500 and that family went back to the 1100's as the Hebden family.
