Hopkins - Gatrkeepers at Powerscourt
« on: Sunday 14 January 24 22:06 GMT (UK) »

John Hopkins
Gatekeeper at Powerscourt
Son of Edward Hopkins, gatekeeper

Married Nov 25 1848 at Calary CoI

Sarah Smyth
Daughter of Edward Smyth, farmer
resided at Glasnamullen

Edward Hopkins
of Edenderry , Co. Offaly
son of John Hopkins, gatekeeper
son of above couple???

married Oct 5 1887
Ellen Magill
of Edenderry , Co. Offaly
Daughter of Edward Smyth, farmer
resided at Glasnamullen

John Edward Hopkins
of Edenderry , Co. Offaly
born 1 Aug 1888
son of above couple
1901 resided with grandmother Sarah Hopkins, gatekeeper

John Edward Hopkins
of Edenderry , Co. Offaly
born 1 Aug 1888
son of above couple
1901 age 12 resided with grandmother Sarah Hopkins, gatekeeper

Richard George Hopkins
of Edenderry , Co. Offaly
born 15 Sep 1892
son of above couple
1901 age 8 resided with grandmother Sarah Hopkins, gatekeeper

I CONCLUDE that Edward Hopkins (above) was
son of John Hopkins and Sarah Smyth (above)


HOWEVER
Edward Hopkins of Edenderry
died 22 Dec 1931 at age 82
informant was son “George” of Edenderry

I CONCLUDE that this Edward Hopkins who died 1931 at 82 was born circa 1850
son of John Hopkins of Powerscourt and Sarah Smyth of Powerscourt

HOWEVER
John Hopkins of Powerscourt and Sarah Smyth of Powerscourt registered a son
Edward Sydenham Hopkins in 1864....

There would not be two sons named Edward

Can anyone help with information on this family?
