Hi Sunflower

If as it appears Robert Hopkinson, father & son, died in N Wingfield by 1767 then I can eliminate them.  My Robert married and had children in Lambeth where his sons became Lightermen on the Thames but both my family and very distant cousins I have recently met have always said that Robert came from Derbyshire when he married at Stockwell in 1776.

Hi

There's often a grain of truth in these anecdotes, so just in case there's a clue in there somewhere, what did your Robert call his children?  (Matthew would be top favourite!)

Hi Valerie

Matthew is not a name used in my Hopkinson family, who incidentally later dropped the -son and just called themselves Hopkins.  The names they used were John, Adam, Martin, William, Elisha and Robert was used in every generation.
