Unlike his older brother, Tony, who attended a grammar school (selective secondary school), Taupin was not a diligent student, although he showed an early flair for writing. Taupin's 11-year-younger brother, Kit, was born there. Taupin's father decided to try independent farming, and the family moved to the run-down Maltkiln Farm in the north-Lincolnshire village of Owmby-by-Spital. The family later moved to Rowston Manor, a significant step up from Flatters farmhouse, which had no electricity. Taupin's mother worked as a nanny, having previously lived in Switzerland. Taupin's father was educated in Dijon and was employed as a stockman by a large farm estate near the town of Market Rasen. Taupin was born at Flatters House, a farmhouse located between the village of Anwick and the town of Sleaford, in the southern part of Lincolnshire, England, the son of Daphne (née Cort) and Robert Taupin.
