James Hopkins Born 1879 County Carlow - Hopkins Family Tree

[Andy D]

Hello,

I am tracing the tree on behalf of a friend and trying to gain information on a James Hopkins born 1879 County Carlow.  He married Mary Toole I believe in 1899.  They had 6 children, and I believe James may have remarried after the death of Mary.  James and Mary resided in Cross Keys, Tullow in 1901.  James occupation in 1902 was a labourer.  But in 1923 he was a Policeman.

His son Nicholas Born 1908 married a Mary Dooley in 1937.  Believe the Hopkins still reside in the Carlow area.

Regards

Andy

not sure what sort of details you are looking for - but maybe the marriage of James would be a good place to start. There's a possible match on the BMD Index as follows :
   
  Name: James Hopkins
  Registration district: Carlow
  Event type: Marriage
  Quarter and year: Apr-Jun 1900
  Volume: 3 / Page: 227

A Mary Toole appears with the same references, so a possible bride to James...

see : Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon
        Details included on a Marriage Cert

1901 census links for reference :
 
  Hopkins household - Cross Keys townland

Have you located James on the 1911 return ?

believe this is Mary and the children on the 1911 return - living at Barrack Street, Tullow.

  Hopkins household - 1911
 
If James was a policeman by 1911, he would likely be listed under just his initials and should have been serving somewhere outside his native county..

I too found the 1911 census with his family on, but I cant locate James either.  The 1902 and 1923 occupations were passed to me off somebody tracing the same line too.

I did try a random search for James, maybe I need to do this as you advise out of the County.

Thanks again for the immediate replies.

Hi Andy,

I am in the process of trying to find some information on my maternal family the Hopkins', and I have just come across your thread here. You are correct in saying some of the Hopkins still reside in Carlow as my mother was a Hopkins before she married.

What was the Outcome of your search and can you tell me anything more about Nicholas Hopkins father James, born in 1879?

Kind Regards

Hello

Regarding "What was the Outcome of your search and can you tell me anything more about Nicholas Hopkins father James, born in 1879?"  Nothing clarified yet.  Interested in tracing the family of Nicholas Hopkins though.  Are you connected to that tree?
