Hi Thomas
Great to hear from you. My actual christian name is Lesley-dazzle is a nickname given to by my younger brother who could not say his l's.
My interest in the Napper family began over 40 years ago. When my father was alive at weekends we used to visit one of his great aunts by marriage who lived at Worthing. In her late husbands study hanging on the wall was an illuminated version of the family tree. When she died my father as one of the surviving male relatives inherited a lot of family documents including a hand written version of the pedigree done by Henry Frederick Napper(the younger) whose father Henry Frederick (the elder) was the youngest brother of Dendy.
Regarding Ends Place I managed to get a photo of the later building through the Francis Frith Website.
I also subscribe to the Genes Reunited website through which I have made contact with the New Zealand branch of the the Napper family who are descended from Dr Albert Napper(1815-1894) founder of the cottage hospital at Cranleigh. It was his 2nd son Charles Frederick (1846-1923)
who emigrated to NZ in the 1870's and settled in Christchurch. I have a lot of information on them given to me by the husband of one of CFN's gt grand-daughters. If you would like a copy please give me your address Also attached are a couple of photos of my gt gt gtandfather edwin . one is taken on the occasion of his golden wedding anniversary the other with his bothers. By the way which member of the family are you descended from and where do you live.-Lesley
