William Hopkins b. 1924
« on: Thursday 28 March 24 07:30 GMT (UK) »
I want to check through my list of refs.
At present I do not have enough specific questions that I want to look into to warrant me forking out and looking into the following -

‘ Mrs. Beves told the Court. Commenting that the house was full of stolen property, the magistrate said he could not overlook the case. BEVIN BOY JAILED After refusing to go down the mines as a trainee, James ' William Hopkins. 20, of Victor' road, N ...
Published: Friday 08 December 1944

I would be very grateful if anybody is in a position to find out more.

The mention of Mrs Beves has no connection with James William Hopkins.  James was jailed for 28 days for refusing to become a trainee to the Horden Colliery in Durham. FindMyPast has the image of the article.

Thanks BB.

I think that indicates that it is not the same WH who was living near Winkfield, Berks in the early 1960s who I trying out more about.
I thing that he was a smallholder and bred pigs or cattle. A recent view of his property indicated that it has become a big scrap yard or something.

I think he may have been related to Joshua Richard Joseph  Hopkins, Beerhouse keeper who was residing at The Grapes in Slough abt 1900.

The address given in the newspaper was Victor Road, N7.

Is it possible to find If JRH had any children called William?

My grandfather’s parents were licensed victualers/ hotel

Wow! We have a vein. Could lead to the mother load.
I have just noticed the Floral Arms and certain that there was a link to my mother’s family.

Have you looked for a birth for William Hopkins 1924?

Your first enquiry was about James William but then you go on to WH.

What do you know about your Mr Hopk8ns?
Is there a street address for the place you reference?
