Hopton Family of Birmingham details
« on: Tuesday 02 February 10 11:56 GMT (UK) »
Hi there
I am furthering my research into the Hopton/Hopeton side of my family and my Gret Grandmothers family.  My Great Grandmother was Hannah Hopeton born 1887 in Scotland to John and Flora Hopton.  (Flora later remarried and became Glass but I cannot find any info on that either.  Any help ther would be geat as well!!)Hannah had 5 siblings, Eglah born 1889 Scotland, John born 1891, Flora born 1892, George born 1900 and Alice born 1897 - the latter all born in Birmingham.
Wonder if anybody has any information on the marriages and children of my Great Grandmothers siblings John, Flora and George.  The Hopetons came to New Zealand in 1921 but only Hannah and Alice came out and have no idea what became of the others. Would really appreciate any help.  Many thanks.

Hi Deb,

There's a Dec 1911 marriage, Birmingham 6d 162, for a Flora M Hopeton to either John W Beeley or Alfred Robinson.

I suspect the groom was Mr Beeley because of these birth registrations:

May Beeley mother's maiden name Hopton
Dec 1912 Birmingham 6d 4 (possible dies age 2 in Dec 1914)

Flora O Beeley mother's maiden name Hopeton
Sep 1915 Birmingham 6d 277 (dies in the same quarter)

Wilfred Beeley mother's maiden name Hopeton
Mar 1917 Birmingham 6d 249 (dies in the same quarter)


Death Flora M Beeley age 25
Dec 1917 Birmingham 6d 153

How sad  :(
