Avus said...: Just caught up with this. All roads and places I know and love. When I was a boy we had an Epps family living near us at Mereworth. They had moved there from Chilham. The family matriarch was "Molly". I wonder if there was a connection?; 16 May 2018 at 07:32
gz said...: Avus,Molly sounds like the Pirate's mum's first cousin....maybe...; 16 May 2018 at 11:41
Avus said...: Molly Epps's children were: Gerald, Nigel, Valerie and Maxine. She also had an older son whose name I forget, but he was killed at Arnhem as a paratrooper. Ring any bells?; 17 May 2018 at 12:45
gz said...: I'll have to get back to you on that,Avus..we're seeing another Epps cousin tomorrow, Bill Saxby, and I need to get these on a chart!; 18 May 2018 at 08:38
gz said...: just a thought, what was Molly's husband's name?; 18 May 2018 at 08:39
Avus said...: Sorry, I was going to tell you that, but cannot for the life of me remember although I can see him clearly in memory. They all lived next door to my grandparents, for God's sake!; 19 May 2018 at 16:47
gz said...: not thought to be a connection directly, Avus...but I'll be working on this when I'm home; 21 May 2018 at 19:05
