Do you know the person who has corrected the name in 1891 at Ancestry?

Name: Hace Hopkins
[Isaac Hopkins]
Age: 49
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1842
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Jane Hopkins
Where born: Nk, Bedfordshire, England

Civil parish: Cockfield
Town: Cockfield
County/Island: Durham

Hace Hopkins 49
Jane Hopkins 44
Joseph William Hopkins 17
John Hopkins 13
Frederick Hopkins 13
Thomas Hopkins 10
Harriet Emma Hopkins 8
George Hopkins 6

(Where's Isaac?)

Just looking for brothers' names. There's no matching Joseph, Thomas or George in Canadian WWI deaths, so the brother who died in WWI must have been in the UK military. That makes sense, as that's why it would mention next of kin being in Canada.

JaneyCanuck,

Thank You very much

I think Frederick Hopkins was in Canada about the same time as Isaac, Frederick Hopkins was the Twin of John Hopkins

I will take a look at the web site's

JanneyCanuck,

Sorry I do not know who has corrected Isaac Hopkins Snr,

Isaac hopkins jr is on the Original image for 1891


Regards
Val

I was a little unclear there, wasn't I?

What I meant was that it might be worth getting in touch with the person who has corrected the name, as they're more than likely related. ;)

And you're so right -- Isaac is on the original!

Oh, look how ridiculous. Ancestry has hived these people off into a separate household. Sarah Ann, aged 4, is "daughter" ... not "Captain". Ye gods.

What an insane dog's breakfast. I still don't know why I couldn't find Isaac Hopkins on a search for him!
