Charles Hopton, my great-grandfather, born 1850 +/- 1.

Have located him in 1891 and 1901. Cannot trace him in any previous census or birth indexes. Very likely to be in St Pancras area of London. (The Charles Hopton living with wife Augusta in 1871 in Pancras is a not him)

Incidently, why is 1881 census not listed under GR Search Records?

Thanks

Where was Charles born?

1881 is probably not listed because it is free to search on Ancestry and the IGI

Possible from 1871

Thanks Vera. It's a possibility I suppose, although the birth in Italy makes it unlikely I think.

Potty, what and where is IGI ?

Thanks

1881 is free on Ancestry and on www.familysearch.org.

GR don't include it because they can't squeeze money out of you for it

Reg

Unless you tell us his birthplace (from census info you have found) we cannot hope to find him............

Reg

IGI - International Genealogical Index - it is on the Mormon site (www.familysearch.org), click on advance search, then Census and select England 1881.

You still haven't told us where he was born. Can you post details of what you have found in 1891 or 1901?

Hi Richard,

The I.G.I. is International Genealogical Index on the Familysearch....(Church of the Latterday Saints)
At times a very helpful site...but always check what you find.

Regards Vera

Is this your man? i've found the 1901 when he was a carpenter but not the 1891.

***alviegal***, Yes that's him in 1901,

Ady is my great-grandmother. Lily is his daughter by his previous partner Annie, who he was living with in 1891. I dont think he married either Ady or Annie.

Your 1871 is quite possible, although there is a 4 year age discrepency. The fact that he becomes a carpenter, when his father is a Timber manufacturer, and that his father is George (My grandfather's middle name), adds weight.

Thanks

Is this your George in 1891. He is a Carpenter. Birthplace is completely different though.
