This web site is devoted to the genealogy of the Deeks and Jepson names primarily within the United Kingdom, although it does include overseas Deeks particularly from Canada and the United States. I developed an interest in the Deeks name after I married a Deeks, (from Suffolk, England) and my mother was a Jepson. This site includes information on both my wife's ancestry (Deeks) and my own personal family history (Jepson).

The site is divided into seven main areas.

1. The family groups - These are groups of connected Deeks families with brief details. The information is presented in tabular form, rather then a family tree arrangement. Group one is details of our family ancestry, both Deeks and Jepson

Note: In the family groups the colums 'Birth/Bap' and 'Died/Buried' frequently contain a reference to a particular quarter. In these cases the date listed is that when the event, (Birth or Death) was registered. Births, in particular were frequently registered anything up to 3 months after the event.

2. List of spouses - These are an alphabetical list of all people I have on file, of either sex, who have married a Deeks or a Jepson. It does include people who are also in a family group.

3. Lists of Deeks names - These are alphabetical lists of all the Deeks and similarly named people I have on file. Again it does include people already mentioned in a family group.

4. Lists of Jepson names - These are alphabetical lists of all the Jepson people I have on file both family related and others

5. Picture Gallery - The is a section devoted to Deeks related pictures. It contains photographs of Deeks graves, scanned copies of BMD certificates, and other items of interest. I am always pleased to receive any more items for inclusion in this section.

6. Update History - This is simply a list of any changes I have made. It can be useful to see if I have updated a particular family group etc.

7. Guest Map - This is a Google world map where you can find your location and mark it. You could then find the nearest person with a Deeks or Jepson interest, if they have left an email address.

Find facility - to search for full names, for example Mary Deeks,

you must enclose the whole name in quotes. "Mary Deeks" will work, Mary Deeks will not work

Full guidance notes on the Find facility can be found here

The information on this site has been culled from a variety of different places. Some of it is family information, Parish Records have yielded more details and many other researchers have, over several years, been good enough to share their personal family information. So my grateful thanks to all those who have exchanged snippets with me over the years and I hope you will find something interesting. If there is anything listed which is at odds with your personal research I hope you will send me an e-mail.
