1841,61 or 71 Lookup for Hopper - Bodham Please

[Kewtonia]

My gt gt grandmother Phyllis Hopper was born abt 1834 (marriage cert) - 1836 (gravestone) - 1838 (1901 census), in either Bodham or Baconsthorpe, depending on which census you're looking at at the time.

On her marriage certificate her father's details are John Hopper an Agricultural Labourer.

I have been unable to find Phyllis in the 1851 census, tho there is a Pleasance who could be a possible. I did find a John & Mary Hopper
John  HOPPER   Head   M   40   M   Ag Labourer ((Farm))   Bodham-Norfolk
Mary  HOPPER   Wife   M   60   F   Ag Labourer Wife   Baconsthorpe-Norfolk
Mathew  HOPPER   Son   -   14   M   Ag Labourer Son   Bodham-Norfolk
   Address:   Upper Part of Bodham, Erpingham

As well as 3 other families of probably related Hopper's all in Bodham, heads William, Robert, & William.

I also found 2 Hopper families in the 1821 Bodham census, Heads of Families being William age 30-40 & Robert age 50-60.

If possible I'd like a lookup for any Hoppers in Bodham in 1841 (especially John with a daughter Phyllis).
Also the Hopper's still in Bodham in 1861 & 1871.
By 1881 there was only I couple left in the village, 1891 & 1901 none at all.

Hi Here are the Hoppers I found in Bodham 1841

William Hopper   52   Ag Lab
Elizabeth   "       56   
Mary          "       21
Robert       "       17
Robert       "         2
Catherine  "         1

Found a Robert Hopper age 73 he could have been living alone but I am more inclined to think he was added on to the family listed below. Doesn't give relationships so don't know if he is a relation or just a lodger

Lemon?  Blyth   53  Ag Lab
Elizabeth   "      43
Ellen          "       12
Mary          "       10
Joyce         "         8
Robert  Hopper  73



John Hopper  30  ag lab
Mary Hopper  46
Matthew "        6
Philis       "        8

I presume this is your phyllis

Hope these are of some use to you. Couldn't see any other Hoppers in 1841 living in Bodham.

Merry Christmas Anjo

Thanks Anjo,

with what I got from the 51 & 21 censuses.
Thanks again & have a great Christmas

Hi Nicky & Joanne,
thanks for your input
Have spent the afternoon checking out the BMD info, against the census stuff.
It all seems to tie together really well,
So I'm making some headway with the Hopper line, with more leads to follow up.
Cheers
Chris
