A wander round the lanes, at the foot of the North Downs, looking at Possee/Jordan/Epps history

Looks lovely - nearer to where I grew up.

There are similarities with the Massachusetts coastal roads.

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?

Avus,Molly sounds like the Pirate's mum's first cousin....maybe...

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?

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!

gz said...

just a thought, what was Molly's husband's name?

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!

not thought to be a connection directly, Avus...but I'll be working on this when I'm home
