Hello Sylvia, if he's a relative then how did you come across him?

Is he a direct ancestor, or the sibling of one?

Did he marry? If so, who where and when?

Did he have children? Who, where and when.

The records for other parts of his family might lead us to his parents so we need as much info as possible - there are a LOT of Hepworths in West Yorkshire so we need to be sure we have the right man.
