Hi Julie,

I can't thank you enough, your help has been fantastic.

Thank you so so much.

I am hoping to pluck up the courage to visit the Records Office would I be able to find any more information on them do you think?

Hi Kate

Yes im still here lol..To be honest i don't really know..you can find so much on the net now

What i would be interested to know is when or why did the spelling of their surname change from Hobson to Hopson..or if it was a genuine mistake

Julie

Yeah thats what I was wondering. As their births are registered as Hobson would that mean that is actually their true surname?

Kate

On my Grandad Harold's Birth Certificate his Mother is down as Thurza Webster formerly Hopson.

That was in 1923.
