Hi Jon,

On the whole I believe the family where basically Protestant however the odd member seems to have been Catholic and several married in Registrar Offices.  Mind you if you split my family down to the four lines of my grandparents/great grandparents then you'll find a mixture of Protestant and Catholic and it would seem to be a family who changed circumstances to suit themselves.
I was always lead to believe they were Protestants but as I said I have come across those members that certainly weren't.
According to the marriage certificate I have, Jules Etienne Ambroise lepine married Alexandrine Maria Evrevin in the Catholic Chapel in Cornwall Place, Islington but of course, I have no way of knowing or rather I haven't come across anything to advise me as to which one of them was Catholic or if both were.
I have however just looked at the war records of several of his grandsons that lost their lives in the Great War and they have stated they were Church of England.
I have to admit at times they have proved to be very difficult to pin down and some have completely vanished probably because they perhaps started to spell Lepine differently.  Doesn't help, does it.
Regards Prue

Your line is therefore as follows:

Jehan de Lespine born before c1554 in La Gorgue, France

Their son Jaques de Lespine born before c1573 in La Gorgue, France, died Cantebury 1601 married Catherine Delbeq

Their son Jan/Jean de Lespine born Canterbury 1594 died 1655 married as his first wife Jaqueline Bariselle in 1630.

Their son Jean Delepine/Lepine born Canterbury 1632 died 1710 married Marie Bonte in 1668

Their son Daniel Lepine born Canterbury, Kent 1687 died 1754 married as his second wife Elizabeth Broadstreet in 1727

Their son Jean/John Lepine born Canterbury 1732 died 1804 married Mary Brett in 1761

Their son Stephen Lepine born Maidstone 1767 died 1808 married Ann Beeching in 1790

Their son Stephen Lepine born Maidstone 1792 died 1861 married Lucy Pawley in 1812

Their son George Lepine born Boxley 1823 died 1886 married Elizabeth Barbara Dunn in 1850

Jon,
   Many thanks for you answering to my enquiry.
Would I be right to assume  that the STEPHEN LEPINE b 1792 / d 1861 marriage to LUCY PAWLEY, that this marriage was his first aged 20. They married 25th Dec 1812. I have found another STEPHEN LEPINE marrying a MARY ALLEN 15/04/1827. I have not found a death certificate?? for LUCY. Marrying Mary I take it is his second wife?. Any help/info. on the above very much appreciated.
Best Regards, J

Jon,
   How / where and what words do I start with to thank you, firstly and mainly your knowledge and understanding of what family history is and what it holds for all of us individually. To me the patience that is needed to persist with family history, you must have in abundance, as a totally bottomless well. The amount of info. that you have put in front of me, is just unbelievable. Seeing what you have managed / knowledge of / supplied me with, I feel like I have suddenly been hit by a double-decker bus and hit by lighting,  -   I am totally gobsmacked by it all. I was just not expecting what you have supplied me with,  many, many thanks again.

Have a Happy New Year, make sure you celebrate well.

Best Regards to all your family,    J

   P.S.    -    Just out of curiosity how are we connected in the LEPINE line?.

Re: LEPINE

Thanks, pleased it was useful. I have been doing but became a one name study of the name Lepine for the past ten years so have looked at most of the lines to the mid nineteenth century.

Lots of people have researched the Lepine lines over the past two hundred years due to the great fortune of intestate lunatic Maria L'Epine who died in 1798. Lots of things became very confused as many Lepine descendants tried to make a claim on the money in Chancery.

However by the time the case came to court in 1927 (by someone allegedly on Maria's maternal line) the statute of limitations said that as it was over one hundred years since her death and there was nothing to answer to and the case was thrown out. Those who brought the claim (the Knight Masons) bankrupted themselves in the process. For many it became something of an obsession.

Anyway there was more than one Lepine who came to the UK from France over the years. Lepine or de l'Epine, Delepine, Lespine, Delespine and all its variants is not a rare name in France. You might know that it means 'Thorn' in English and this was sometimes used in records as well.

Your line came over to England in the late 1500s from La Gorgue and settled in Canterbury before various branches moved elsewhere. My line is actually different and they were from a family of the name name from Picardie and they were from an uncle and two nephews who came over to London from 1679 to 1730.

However due to the confusion in the lines, my ancestor Isaac Lepine (1750-1828) became a recipient of the Jane Basse charity which was really meant for the descendants of the Canterbury line.

I also know that Edward Lepine (1761-1822) who was the son of your John Lepine (1732-1804) was a shoemaker in London. Someone connected to the late mad Maria L'Epine saw the name and contacted him. He in turn came to visit my ancestral aunt Susanna Lepine/Hunter/Crawford/Boston (1727-1814) about the case and it was how my line found out about it. This is recorded in statements which survive relating to the case from 1805.

It is a fascinating line to research and will be surely be one of your most interesting lines.

Best wishes,
Jon
