Hello Kate
On your tree, which of Percy's siblings are you related to.
Are you specifically after info on Percy or the Hooples' in general.
I knew my grandmother and she always had tales of them all growing up at the family shop on Everton Road. The regiment Percy joined was a few doors down from the shop and the old barracks still exists. The Liverpool Echo were trying to save it, there's an article on line.
My mother (Gertrudes daughter) died last year and I've still a number of boxes to go through. Seem to remember seeing a photo of Percy which will be in there somewhere........but it may take sometime to find.
Paul

Kate - I know it's 4 years since your post but hopefully you get to read this.
Was searching for where my grandmother grew up and eventually arrived here.
Her name was Gertrude Hoople......sister to Percy.  So we must have some distant connection.
Feel sure I would have some interesting family info for you that's been passed down.
