Hi Carol
            Thanks for your reply. The 1798 Morton entry was one of my choices. Wllm was 52 when he died, making his birth 1800 but ages are never very specific. But I needed to eliminate the other possibilities before settling for a date that was 2 years out!
          Brackenfield didn't have a church to register baptisms at that time so Wllm could easily have been baptised in any of the following places (although Morton should have been the one)
   5 May 1799 Ashover  to                  Wllm and Elizabeth
   4 May 1799  St Peter's Derby to     Wllm and Elizabeth
   7 Aug 1799 Shirland to                   Wllm and Mary
  18 May 1800 North Wingfield to       Wllm and Jane

 The difficult signature on the wedding entry for Wllm in 1828 could have been JANE Hopkinson. But when I went to Derby RO  her sig on other documents was different .(However there was a considerable time lapse between them )
 I was hoping that other Roots Chat members would be able to eliminate some of my choices so that I could settle for the correct one!! I really want to know what happened to the 1800  North Wingfield William.
 I found difficulty tracing Wllm and Ann of Morton on the 1841 Census
                      Regards

I am searching for the parents of William Hopkinson reportedly from Brackenfield c 1800. He married Maria Harrison in St Peters Derby in 1828. Among the witnesses were William Hopkin and another Hopkinson signature that is not easy to read. On the 1841 census William is an ag lab and in 1851 a brewer in Liversage Street Derby. There are many choices of Williams  born around 1800. Please can some one help me find the right one . Thank you
(I have just posted the same message on the begginers board before I found this Derby link, please forgive me- this is my 1st time !)

Hopkinson of Derby. I am trying to trace the parents of William Hopkinson reportedly born in Brackenfield in c 1800.
He married Maria Harrison in 1828 at St Peters' Derby. He died in 1852 in derby aged 52. On the 1841 census he was an ag lab and in 1851 he was a brewer in Liversage St Derby. There are many Williams born around 1800 give or take a few years. I need to eliminate some of them. The wedding certificate shows several witnesses including William Hopkin and another illegible Hopkinson signature .  Please help.
