Is there a way to find out the school he attended.. possibly in Salford? This may be a way of confirming his siblings, although having no idea about the place there are probably a few schools in the area!

Cathy,

I have a reply from the Cheshire services which indicated that it could appear in the following:

Chester Chronicle
Chester Observer
Runcorn Guardian

Would these appear in your local library?? They are free for a look if you visit, or they offer the services of a researcher (for a rather hefty price for a look!)

Regards,

Dave

Mary Elizabeth Hopkinson on 27/12/1902, shortly after he returned from South Africa (Boer War)

The details are again noted in his Army file which I have attached.

Witnesses are: Emma Hopkinson & Richard Sauer? Sauce? ;)

It was at St Simons, Salford (a common theme) and the Minister is listed also if it helps any.

Is there any way it could be verified?? Assuming the birth register is the right one, is there any other way to confirm it..? Maybe on a wedding certificate?

18 years & 2 months in July 1890 = April/May 1872  8)

Do you make it 1890 from his attestation paper..?? I make it an 1892, and I have independent information from the Manchester Regiment Museum saying 1892 also..., rather vexing!

Shame.., 1890 would make it much more convenient!

Hmmm,

I think there is an error on the Attestation paper. His death certificate is attached, which would put the date as 4 April 1871? Would this make the birth certificate you have found correct..??

Thanks Tati,

The siblings I have for him are 'Ethel' & 'Frances' and a couple of unknowns. That is not to say they came after the census was taken.

Are there any more possibles...?? I know the birthday is correct due to it being in JT's wife's diary in the war years, and the year comes from his Army papers. That is the stuff I know for sure, the rest is a bit sketchy!
