Thanks BB.

I think that indicates that it is not the same WH who was living near Winkfield, Berks in the early 1960s who I trying out more about.
I thing that he was a smallholder and bred pigs or cattle. A recent view of his property indicated that it has become a big scrap yard or something.

I think he may have been related to Joshua Richard Joseph  Hopkins, Beerhouse keeper who was residing at The Grapes in Slough abt 1900.

I want to check through my list of refs.
At present I do not have enough specific questions that I want to look into to warrant me forking out and looking into the following -

‘ And, why are you piggy-backing on a thread about Ancestry Hints?
Report, ‘

Because the the of the tile of the tread is Problem with Ancestry
The poster asks if anyone else is having problems and
Because I have just seen information on Ancestry that is false.

Why do people ask such questions?

It strikes me that some hacker or whatever could be trying to put Ancestry out of business.

Corruption seems to be everywhere.

It is probably not worth bothering with.

They have recorded the following false info

‘ MS Thelma Eileen Emma Reynolds
Gender   Female
Age   83
Birth Date   7 Jan 1928
Last Residence   Crewkerne, Somerset, England
Postal Code District   Ta18
Death Date   18 May 2011.’

Although the date of death is correct, the birthdate is about six months too early.

What is MS supposed to mean?

Yes. I probably know more about Thelma that anybody else.
The op was aimed at a different subject.
I have tried a Google picture search and get nothing relavent to the date, 1946/7.
I thought that perhaps there was a way of factoring that in.
I will try to write to Slough library and see if that might produce anything.
