Hello Julie,

I just started trying to find some history about my family and saw your very old post. So I am replying to your thread 11 years late, but I hope you get this! You mentioned Ethel Felton is your grandmother. Alonzo Felton Pepper was born just after Ethel (to parents William Pepper & Jane Maria Felton), and was my great-grandfather! Alonzo Felton Pepper married Edith Susan Barrows and had 5 children (Harold Alonzo, Ronald Barrows, Reginald Felton, Enid Joyce and my grandfather, Alonzo Felton Ian. I have dates and some more info I'd be happy to share. Alonzo Felton Ian had three children, including my dad! I hope my note makes it to you! Would love to hear from you and help each other fill in the blanks in our family trees.

I'm intrigued!
Peter Pepper has written on the history of the Falkland Islands and 'Felton' is a Falklands' name.
Have you a connection? I have.

Oh, interesting! Yes, my great, great grandmother was a Felton. Happy to share more info if you are interested. I'm just starting to search for details re my family history. Would love to hear about your connections and any info you have re Felton / Falkland Islands history. Feel free to email (address above) or just post if you prefer. Thx!
