Hi, everyone -- I know that at least one person on this list (Jan) is researching LEPINE and its variants. Since I found quite a few entries of this name in a search of the BT's (Bishop's Transcripts) of the parish of All Saints Canterbury, I thought I would post these extracts here. They occurred between 1662/3 and 1812. This info is on LDS film # 1736584. However, there were no LEPINE, etc. surnames here til 1746 (when one solitary one appeared) and then quite consistently beginning at 1764. Please verify any info below with a personal search of your own. I must comment that the handwriting in this document 1662/3-c1685 was very difficult to read. Hope this is of help to Jan and, of course, to others out there.
