Heppenstall Horace Pearson Sheffield 9c 1227
Pearson Rose E Heppenstall Sheffield 9c 1227

There's a possible marriage in Sheffield which can be found on the site I mentioned above but you would only know if it was the correct one by buying the cert.

Christine

i was born in whitechapel london and was in care lcc horace heppenstall is in my records as being my paternal father that is all the information tha i have

horace heppenstall was not married to my mother

The death posted earlier could possibly be his as it's in the London area. but the age doesn't fit with the one born 1917.

How do you know that the one born 1917 is the correct Horace?

Christine

The death I posted is the only one that would fit as there was one born 1910 and he died in 1968 and one in 1907 that died in 1961....no others born in that time frame

jax

Not saying that you have the wrong information but this family does seem to tick a few boxes.
Right surname
Right area
Person with the name that you are looking for ....but way out on date.....20 years across....jl

1911 Census for Ecclesall Bierlow

George Heppenstall Head 55 Notts
Theresa Heppenstall Wife 57 Sheffield married 35 years
John Heppenstall 23 Single
Ernest Heppenstall 14 Single
Horace Heppenstall 12

all living at 6 Court House Langsett Road sheffield

That one could also be the one who married in 1938 Janet

jax

his knickname was yorkie so i thouht he must have been from yorkshire i could have the date of birth wrong but the name is right help

Heppenstall looks like a common yorkshire name

jax

The only thing jax, is that a 1917 birth would figure getting married at 21 in 1938 but its a possibility.
I tend to think of young boys on the 1911 census not getting further in life than WW1-jl

The only Rose E Heppenstall I found was also born 1890s so I doubt very much if she would have married Horace born 1917 but it does'nt matter as David said he did'nt marry his mother

jax

David I think it might be worth getting the birth cert which Mary has written out. That way you could find out who his father is.
If his nickname was Yorkie then I would say that he is 99% Yorkshire as it is given to anybody and everybody outside of Yorkshire, particularly when they are in the forces.-j
