Hi Michael
Thank you so much for this. I know from census records that E.C.Yates senior taught
(music/piano?) but had not realised his connection with Epsom College was that he taught
there.
(Oddly, my husband is an old Epsonian!).
My grandmother (May Ethel Yates) had told my mum (May Louise Ricketts that her father
(E.C.Yates)used to watch his mother (the elusive Fanny Yates) ride by the gates of Epsom
College in a carriage on the way to the Derby. I suppose this could still be true, but if
it is, I now know he did so as a teacher not a pupil which makes all the difference.
I'm on holiday for a bit so won't have time to follow this up. Will let you know
what more I find if anything.
Thanks again
Viv
