Welcome to this weeks Scavenger hunt and after the last couple of weeks hard ones I think this one will turn out to be a doddle.
Good Luck and Good Hunting.
Barbara
*****************************
My maternal 3x great grandfather is George Hopcroft born possibly 1815 – 1820 probably Kensington or Westminster, Middlesex. Died ?
George married Caroline Aldridge
20 April 1841 St Marylebone, Middlesex
Both George & Caroline’s age was of full age and the address is given as St Marylebone
George’s occupation was given as a Smith
George’s father is George Hopcroft occupation Cordwainer
Caroline’s father is Thomas Aldridge occupation Wheelwright
Witnesses
Mary Ann Aldridge, Caroline’s sister
William Hopcroft, maybe George’s brother
Caroline Aldridge born 15 May 1822, Reading Berkshire, died 31 March 1880, Kensington
Children I have born to George & Caroline so far
George Hopcroft , born 27 Jan 1842, Westminster
Caroline Hopcroft , born 18 Nov 1844, St Marylebone
Mary Ann Hopcroft , born 17 Nov 1846, St Marylebone
I cannot find the family in the 1851 and 1861 census but have found Caroline and son George in 1871 census.
Source Citation: Class: RG10; Piece: 41; Folio: 67; Page: 21
I would love to find George bc 1815 on the census to try and get his true age and where born, and a bonus would be to find George’s father and mother and siblings

I will find them wherever they are hiding

I know this is the wrong side of the river, but Hopcroft isn't particularly common in London and the father's name is correct.
GEORGE WILLIAM HOPCROFT
Birth: 01 AUG 1815
Christening: 25 AUG 1815 Saint Saviour, Southwark, Surrey, England
Father: GEORGE HOPCROFT
Mother: ANN

Thank you Janan & ShaunJ
I have been searching for George & Caroline in 51 & 61 census for over a year and half. I always dismissed George being born in Reading Berkshire, how wrong was I.
Jaywit... I did find the George you found and his siblings and parents,
George Hopcroft
Ann Gray
Marriage - 6th June 1797, St Olave, London
Children
Starting with the eldest first
Mary Ann Plaskett Hopcroft
Christened - 7th Jan 1798, St Saviour, London
Margaret Hopcroft
born - 15 Aug 1799, St Olave, London
John Gray Hopcroft
born - 15th June 1801, St Olave, London
Christened - 19 July 1801, St Olave, London
Eliza Hopcroft
born - 20th Oct 1804, St Olave, London
christened - 28th Nov 1804, St Olave, London
Benjamin Hopcroft

Christened - 29th Sept 1811, St Olave, London
George William Hopcroft
born - 1st Aug 1815, St Saviour, London
christened - 25th Aug 1815, St Saviour, London
I just had a feeling he wasn't the right George but made a not of him, parents and siblings
I will post on the Berkshire board and see if anyone can help with a look up
