Have you looked at old electoral rolls to see if he had a middle initial? You can find these at Faversham library.

I see a son born in 1960 in Bridge and one in 1961 in Northampton, who died the same year.

No, but if you were to contact the Library, they will undertake a look-up for you. There will probably be a charge.

Birth 1932 as Haresign,mmn Haresign.


1935 ,gained a stepfather Walter Modd.

Hence the two unusal combination of surnames,

,,perhaps Mr Hopper was already in a marriage in 1960 + and wasnt then free to marry.?

Thanks kay they did actually live together at millfield rd but I can't find marriage anywhere
She was as hopper surname on her next marriage cert
Was it legal to be known as a surname of your choice in them days without it being real ??
