Joseph Hopkins - Chelmsford

[Rochdalian]

Hi

Looking for any info on this mans family.  He was born abt 1790 and gave Chelmsford as his native place in trial papers from the Old Bailey in 1814.  Transported for life, ended up in VDL.  Sometimes used the alias Finch.

Here's hoping

Hi MM

Searched Chelmsford with no luck, in fact not one Hopkins at all.  Next I will search other Parishes which appear to be on the site. It may have to wait 'till after Christmas though.
