Hopgood/Fullbrook

[Gypsy Lee]

Looking for parents of both William Hopgood 1865, born in Grazely, Berks and his wife Alice Fullbrook 1866, born Therfield, Berks.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Hi Gypsy - and Welcome to Rootschat

Grazeley was not a parish as such,  as far as I can see it would have come under Burghfield,  however thats not helping much cos I can't find you William before 1891 (yet) - do you have the 1891 & 1901 listings of him and family?

Alice's birthplace I think is Shinfield not Therfield,  it is very faint in 1891 but I think that's what it said and it would tie in with this one from 1881

from 1881 shinfield

Thomas Fullbrook 55 Ag Lab
Jane Fullbrook 55 
Emily Fullbrook 19 
Thos. Fullbrook 16  gardener
Alice Fullbrook 15 

 All born Shinfield


The only way to be certain of course is to purchase the marriage certificate

Hi Debbie

Thanks so much for your reply.  Therfield - that was from family bible - guess the spelling had changed over the years - lol.  I have William/Alice Hopgood family from 1901.  I have just found marriage registration will order the marriage certificate.  Thank you for your help Debbie, it is very much appreciated - these two families have been very hard for me to track down.  They haven't been very co-operative - lol

I think Grazeley was formerly in one of the Sulhampsteads - Abbotts or Bannister.

Hi DebbieG

Now have marriage certificate for grgrandparents.  That was my Fulbrooks in the 1891 census you posted.  Father of William Hopgood was Robert and have found this family in the 1871 census.  Thanks for your help.

cheers
