All this information is fantastic. Been trying for years to track the family down. Rosa's brother Albert was my dad, somewhere along the line he changed his name to his mother's maiden name, Bolton. As far as I know Rosa had 2 other brother besides my dad William & Spencer, she had 4 sister possibly 5. Doris, Ethel, Florence, Beatrice & possibly Mary.

Thanks Kath...Missed that one..!!


Looks like his death Record.....Poor wee soul been a patient all his wee life.


Donald Hepworth

Name Donald Hepworth
Event Type Death
Event Date 16 Feb 1960
Event Place New York, Manhattan, New York
Gender Male
Age 42
Birth Year (Estimated) 1918
Death Year 1960
File Number 11096

Maddie found Donald in the 1930 census in a children's hospital and in the 1940 census in the Craig Colony Institute for Epileptics so that sounds like the right burial.

I looked at that Maddie...looks possible but if I read it correctly it was a cemetery for an Institution..??? Cannot find any Hepwoth Grave in Mt.Hope.

If this is the correct family then Paul had to have went back to UK to marry Rosa Keen as he is listed 1910 in Mass. I don't have access to check.

Her Passport application to come back 1921 makes strange reading states she has been in US since 1910 and born Oxford..!

I think the death in 1936 that Eringobragh1916 found must be a different Paul as the one in 2000 that Shirley found seems to fit.

I don't know how easy it is to get a death certificate in America but the informant on the 2000 death certificate could possibly be a relative.
