Wicklow / Richard Hopkins c1750 of Ballard & son Richard Hopkins c1790
« on: Sunday 24 March 24 17:21 GMT (UK) »
In 1777 Richard Hopkins c1750 was granted a lease on 197 acres based on "his life".
This expired with his death in May of 1834.
Has anyone access to Cantwell's Memorials to the Dead? I think Cantwell may have mis-transcribed age 84 as age 87.
Richard had a son Richard c1790? who was granted 76 acres of that lease after his father died.
In 1821 I think this was the Richard Hopkins who married Elizabeth Leybourne at Aghold, indicating he was of Ballard but a member of Carnew Parish.
In 1815 at Carnew Parish a Richard Hopkins and wife Susan baptized a son John , born Oct 29 1814.
In 1818, a Susan Hopkins was buried at Carnew, age 24.
I believe that this was Richard's wife and that he later married Elizabeth Leybourne.
Can anyone confirm my speculations or add any information?
