Susannah Hopkins c1773-1844 and Susannah Hopkins m Edwards
« on: Sunday 07 January 24 20:39 GMT (UK) »
Susannah Hopkins was a daughter of Nicholas Hopkins 1723-1787 and Sarah Browne and was born circa 1773.   She was likely born at Garryhasten in Wexford.

In 1792 she married a 2nd cousin, William Hopkins c1768- 1809 and they resided at Clonogan in Carlow, raising a family of 8 before William died in 1809.

Susannah appears to have remained at Clonogan as she is listed in the Tithes of 1837.

She died in 1844 at 71 and was buried at Clonegal.

This all seems consistent except.....

A Susannah Hopkins resident of ??  married a William Edwards of Glanashouk in 1817.   I think this would be Glennashouk, adjacent to Garryhasten, suggesting that this Susannah might have been from Garrryhasten.  This "could" suggest that she was actually a widow Susannah Hopkins...the same as above????

Does anyone have any idea who the 2nd? Susannah Hopkins was or what became of her after marriage to Edwards?

Is it possible that Susannah Hopkins, born at Garryhasten, returned there after the death of husband William Hopkins in 1809, married neighbour William Edwards of Glennashouk in 1817, but was somehow biried under her maiden name in 1844????
