So this is them in 1851 in Burlescombe?
John Hooper, 35
June Hooper, 32
Mary Hooper, 7
Ann Hooper, 5
ELLEN Hooper, 3****
Francis Hooper, 8 mths
Reg District on this Census is Wellimgton
GRO Index Birth Reg;
HOOPER, ELLEN, Mothers mn STARKE*****
GRO Reference: 1848 M Quarter in WELLINGTON SOMERSET AND DEVON Volume 10 Page 467
I was a bit unsure at first re the Devon connection for Elle as in Census Ellen Freeke (and variants) says she is born Westleigh, Somerset.
But in 1851 the Hooper Familys address is Westleigh.
