Hi Peter

Sorry for the long wait with a reply.

Since I posted that message, I came in contact with another person who was following the Nepean-Hutchison surname. I have now info on some of the Hutchison's back to 1799. I found that Hutchison married into Hutchison. The wife is from Scotland but I don't know where the husband is from.
It is making life interesting though.

I had followed the Nepean's back as far as I can. I think Anna Nepean's gg grandparents are Henry Nepean and Frances Dodge.

What line of Nepean's are you descended from? do you think you might be able to help me more with the Nepean's?

look forward to hearing from you.

Anna Adelinne Nepean daughter of Charles Wedekind Nepean and Anna nee Becher married William F A F Hutchinson who was a Col in the Indian Army. He died in Kent England 28 May 1868. They had a son William G F N Hutchinson who died in Australia in 1928. Anna re-married in 1871 to Henry Lavallin Puxley also a Col in the Indian Army.
I know little of the Hutchinson family, I'm researching the Nepeans.

You may be interested to know that the last direct descendent of Sir Evan Nepean, also named Sir Evan Nepean, died last year. He had 3 daughters (my mother is the eldest). if you would like to know more please ask.

Thanks for your note. Jackie Collier of Brighton England ( her grandfather was Evan Nepean from a different line) is trying to do research on the Nepean family. As you can imagine it is difficult with so many names the same. There are very few Nepeans in Canada anymore but in the States there appears to be a fair number. I believe they are from the same line as my husband's Nepean family.

You may be interested to know that the last direct descendent of Sir Evan Nepean, also named Sir Evan Nepean, died last year (2003).

He lived for many years in a village called Teffont, Wiltshire, in southern England, had 3 daughters, an illustrious army career, and The Times and Daily Telegraph, the UK's leading "establishment" newspapers, published obituaries when he died. His eldest daughter is my mother.

All the artifacts concerning Sir Evan in the Nepean Museum in Ontario (photographs of paintings, bible, etc) were donated by his daughters Susan, Judith and Gillian.

Hi,
In my famiIy I have a great aunt named Catherine Mabel Teatro (Tetreau) who married Gerald Arthur Nepean on October 30, 1917 in Toronto, Ontario. Gerald Arthur was the son of Reginald Nepean and Trefina Rogers. Olga Nepean was a witness at the wedding. Olga lived at 206 RIverdale Avenue, Toronto at the time of the wedding. These names seem to match some of your Nepean's. I have very little verbal history about this family.
Does anyone know about the children of Mabel and Gerald? Would love to know more about them and their history. I have the Tetreau(Teatro) family line and history back to 1600's, but for some reason, my family lost contact with this Nepean family. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I am after information on a Anna A Nepean married to William George Frederick Andrew Ferguson Hutchison.
Info. that I have found or given shows that Anna's parents are Charles Wedikind Nepean and Ann Becher which means they had Anna nearly 20yrs later.
I aquired some info from Alister and Eileen on the Nepean's.
Are there any other Nepean's connected to the Hutchison's out there?

Dear Donna, My grandmother Estelle Nepean married William Primrose, but she died in 1918, ;leaving 4 children. She was the eldest daughter of Reginald Nepean and Trephina Rogers, the sister of Gerald Arthur Nepean. The children were named Alginald Archibald Primrose, Reginald, who died as an infant, Arthur and Mona. My father is Alginald Primrose, who died at 89 yearsd old in 1998. I understand that the father of Reginald was named Thomas Nepean. He was a lawyer at the old bailey in London, England. Somehow, we are related to Sir Evan Nepean from Cornwall, England.

Re: Reginald and Arthur Nepean

cprimrose4817 — 2002-06-19 22:16:16Z

Dear Donna, Olga Nepean was also named Dolly. She was the youngest sister of Gerald Arthur Nepaen. She married Mr. Portman, who was the vice-president of Imperial Tobacco Co; they lived on Balsam Ave, in Islington, Toronto, Ontario. No children. I visited them when I was a little girl in 1950. She died at age 88 <about>, 1981. She left a lot of money which was divided up amongst the remaining family members, because she didn`t leave a will. Where do you live? I live in N.Y. city and was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Frederick Nepean was the second son of Sir Evan Nepean 1st Baronet of Bothenhampton, Dorset, who was governor of Bombay. Frederick was born on 4 March 1794 and married on 20 November 1816 Harriet Martina, dau. of Capt. Wm Becher. He died on 17 Sept 1833. He had 2 daughters, the elder of which, Harriet Louisa, married on 3 Aug 1841 Martin Gubbins (d 1863), 3rd son of General Gubbins. See Burkes Peerage & Baronetage.

My family is descended from Sir Evan Nepean.

Re: Reginald and Arthur Nepean

Bev. Just based on the ages if your grandma is 91 your grandfather Reginald (son of Arthur) would be 96 or so I think we are talking the same people. Without having dates and middle names it makes it difficult. Your great grandfather Arthur would be 127 - he was born in 1874 (he wouldhave been 31 when his son Reginald was born). Gary's grandfather Reginald Nanspean Nepean would be 133 so that puts Arthur, your great grandfather and Reginald Nanspean Nepean in the same generation. I'm only using math to prove my thinking
Unfortunately I do not have a lot of info on Arthur or his children Reginald( Jack) Velma, Vesta, Arthur. Again using math if we know the first Arthur was born in 1874, if he was 21 when his son Arthur was born ( born approx 1895) and he had a son Reginald ( your grandfather( when he was 21) born approx 1916, that would make him 85. Was he younger than your grandmother? When was your grandfather really born? Was your grandfather's nick name Jack.Hope you can understand where I am coming from.
Hope this helps and doesn't confuse the issue.

Hi Donna!

My grandfather was Reginald and his father Arthur Nepean. I'm getting really confused with so many names being the same but different person(s). I'm not sure if the Arthur & Reginald you're talking about is the same Arthur & Reginald I'm talking about--different or same generations. I'm trying to find out who my grandfather's dad Arthur Nepean's father is? My grandmother is now 91 and she married Reginald in her teens his father Arthur was deceased.

Rick,

A bible owned by Sir Evan Nepean is at the Nepean museum in Ontario. It contains notations for births, deaths, marriages, for six generations. Last entry 1948. Google.com - keyword- Nepean Museum then look under artifact at the museum site.

Thought this might be of interest to your family.

My great aunt Mabel married Gerald Arthur (Sonny) Nepean.

Re: Nepeans

2001-08-25 00:43:20Z

Donna,

Don't know if your are related to Sir Evan Nepean. If you are, there is a bible owned by Sir Evan at the Nepean museum in Ontario. Apparently has notations for 6 generations of marraiges,births, deaths etc. You'll find the site on google.com search engine - keyword Nepean Museum. There is a photo of the bible etc. Thought this may help your research.

Also check the Ellis Island site - Reginald Nepean went to England and returned on the Baltic March 7, 1920 he was 50 years old. There are other Nepeans at that site as well. Don't know if they are yours or not. Just in case.

My father remembers Arthur (Sonny) working at a scrap metal company. He thinks the name was Frankel Bros. on
Islington Avenue.

That's all for now.

Hello Everyone!

Sounds like each of us have bits and pieces and was wondering if any of you would be interested in collaborating to fit all the pieces together. Just a thought. I know I can only go so far as some of you, by putting all the legs together maybe it will help us all.

Cheers, Bev

Re: Reginald and Arthur Nepean

2001-08-24 21:05:09Z

Colleen,
Thanks, another piece of the history.
Have you been to the Ellis Island site? Reginald Nepean travelled to England and returned on March 7, 1920 on the Baltic.He was fifty years old. Check it out- there are other Nepeans in the database.
I will keep you posted if I have any other info to add.
Live in Montreal.

Re: Reginald and Arthur Nepean

2001-08-24 20:51:42Z

Colleen,
Thanks so much for the history of the Nepeans.With your help and the help of Donna Baker, I am starting to fill in missing family history. My father remembers Arthur(Sonny) working in the scrap metal business and thinks the name of the company was Frankel Bros. in Toronto on Islington Ave. He has no memory of Reginald and unfortunately I do not have family photos to share with you.
There is a museum in Nepean, Ontario which has a bible owned by Sir Evan Nepean. Apparently it has six generations of marriage, death, and birth notations. If you search Nepean Museum on google.com, you will find the site and a photo of the bible. Maybe the curateur Dan Hoffman would provide you with the details. There may be a clue to the relation between the families.

Hi Donna! I chatted with my grandmother if she knew anything about my grandfather's family beyond his father Arthur, but she didn't know much.

2001-01-23 19:28:05Z

Donna, yes and no on the confusion. I'm in the Vesta family. Vesta and Reginald were siblings and Mary was my great-grandmother. Funny, because I have been having a difficult time with the Nepean name in locating anyone. Vesta played honky-tonk piano and lived in Alaska for awhile, she has pasted on for some time now. Where are you located? Apparently, not in the States by your message. Hope this is of some help Cheers, Bev
