His family stayed in Connecticut, with the exception of son Leslie, who went to Florida. Grandpa was never known as a fishmonger, but, did work for the insulation manufacturer, Johns Manville. Ironically, it was asbestosis contracted via that work that killed him instead of the usual black lung that downs a miner. Frank's team photos have hung proudly in my folk's home for many years.

They married before he went to Hamilton Academicals. In 1912 they emigrated to the USA and eventually he became a fishmonger. We think he went to play football but it didn't take off as a sport in the US. He died in the 60's in Connecticut. Hi, Frank Heppinstall was my G Aunts 2nd husband.
