I'm sure that the spelling iof jephcote is restricted to the UK as it is an unusual spelling. I know my family name ranges from Lancashire to Devon. I also have a second cousin who has lost her mother (one parent family) and grandparent's within 18 mnths who is very keen on 'family' -she is only 22 and has a small child. She works very hard and has much more interest in the family background than the rest of us- so if there are any Jephcote's round the world let us know! She's a very strong lady but she could do with a bit of family support.

Holloands is my married name
