Still trying to track down family of folk shown in a photo album I purchased at a second hand shop in Kings Lynn several years ago.
Names mentioned were Mr Howell G. Hopwood; Mrs. J.V. Vershoyle-Campbell; Mrs. J. Holmes; Mrs Brydone etc. plus numerous 'first names'
The family obviously travelled well as locations shown include Nigeria, Tassagart in Dublin, Rye; Sudborough; Canada; Blewbury; Winchelsea etc and this was in period 1925 ro 1930's.
The Black Notley connection is thought to be via a vicar JOHN who Married Audrie of the family mentioned (Hopwood) circa 1949.
If anyone has any ideas where or who the family are I would be pleased to contact them with the view to restoring the photo album to a genuine member of the family, probably for the amount I originally paid for the album when I thought it was part of my family!

Thanks CP, that gives me a place to start.
I suppose I will now try a search on the two family names you found, somehow or other I feel that the Southern one may be correct.....
