I need help ............ please !!

[Emmeline]

Yes Annie - I saw one of those witches in the wardrobe when lying in bed - age  about six  -and screamed the house down.

Likely that Olive Georgina was born in Egypt ? Where do we go from here ?

This is what I got from the peerage site: (Istand to be corrected on this)

Lewis Anstruther Hope
1) Olive Georgina Hope married Colonel Norman Valentine Blacker
     1) Cecil Hugh Blacker (General Sir) married Felicity Mary Buxton (her 2nd marr.)
         1) Terence Blacker
         2) Philip Blacker married Susan Davies
     2) Joan Olive Blacker

several of these could still be alive.

I suppose we would have to double check these

cheers,

Found this on Rootsweb.com World Connect Project:

Robert Bain's Family Tree

Lewis Anstruther Hope
Col. and M.P.
Birth 4 Nov 1855
Death 2 May 1929

Father Archibald Hugh Hope b. 17 Jan 1820
Mother Caroline Elizabeth Jones

Marriage 3 Sept. 1888 - Lucy Elizabeth Palmer
Children - Hugh Lewis Hope b. 20 Jun 1897
                Helen Jean Hope
                Olive Georgina Hope

There's lots more, but no doubt needs checking for accuracy.  Could be helpful.

Don't know if this will help, but it seems that in the following years, his details were as follows:

1902-3
(Dublin)

Blackrock    1249  Hope Colonel Lewis A. .........63 Merrion Sq

Pg 73


1916
(York)

Stmfrd Bdge....11  Hope Lewis A., Colonel .. .. .. Gate Helmsley Ho

Pg 5


1929
(Coventry Group)

Hope Col. Lewis A, C.B, Capesthorne.......Kenilworth   180

Pg 15
(Same place in 1928)

Mrs. Lewis A Hope was at Capesthorne until at least 1934 (that's the last record in the phone book anyway)

Hi Annie,

A bit more Hope/Blacker info here - scroll down quite a way.  Who are we looking for specifically?  Are we tracing via Olive or what?!
