Fourth child, second daughter of Arthur John HUBBARD and Charlotte Marian VIZARD

Born 6th December 1899, Chiswick, London

Married Arthur Cecil Roper 22 August 1933 at St Stephen's Church, Cinderford, Gloucestershire.

Frances together with her husband, ‘Doc’ Roper, were keen archaeologists in their spare time and worked on the many sites in West Sussex.

She had a passion for family history. Her early research with records of members of the family have been invaluable in compiling the content of this website.

Frances trained as a hospital pharmacist, specialising in psychiatric medicine. When I first knew her, she was doing a series of locums in the big psychiatric hospitals which were common in the 1950/60's.

Her life as a pharmacist My Pestle in my Hand was written in the 1960's is now available on Amazon. ISBN 9781513640075

Frances writes about her early life together with our family history in Victorian Hangover. This book is now available on Amazon ISBN 9781513631165
