Sir John Franklin's family was relatively well-off, as his father was a successful merchant and a member of the local gentry in Spilsby, Lincolnshire. This comfortable background allowed Franklin to receive a good education and pursue a naval career. However, the family's wealth was not substantial by aristocratic standards, placing them in the middle class of their time.
