Hopely No Mans Heath, Malpas,Tattenhall

[Pam67]

I would be grateful if anyone could help me with tracing Mary Hopely and her family from Malpas.

On the 27th Jan 1835 she married William Ankers in Hargrave.

On the 1851 census she has the following men/boys living with her and william:-

George Hopley age 20 born Malpas
Charles Hopley age 8  born tattenhall
william hopley age 6 born goldbourn

It lists them as relatives with no other info.

On the census Mary Ankers nee Hopley is listed as 38yrs so there is a difference of 18yrs between her and George.

I would dearly love to find out more about Mary and George, if anyone could help that would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pam,

Just thought I would check on some information before I got back to you.

We have been in touch before and are connected as my Grt Grt Grandfather was Joseph Ankers William's and Mary's son.

Not sure whether this will complicate matters or not.  On the 1901 Census Joseph is living with Keziah Perry his daughter.  Keziah is widowed, she has a John Hopley down as a servant living with her, she eventually marries John.  I have just checked the 1891 Census to see where John is living and it looks like he is living with his parents, William and Grace Hopley, there is also a Charles aged 5 his brother.  Not sure if these Hopleys are connected with William Ankers and Mary Hopley but it gives us food for thought don't you think?

Hi Pam,

On the 1861 Census Charles is still living with William and Mary but not with George and William Hopley.

Take care
