Caroline hopkins was my 3rd great grandmother

744 views

HiPete
Thank you very much for the information on my great grandmother. I'm
sorry its taken so long but my lap top gave up and I've had to purchase
a new one. Caroline Hopkins did't leave the Forest on 1927 - my mother
Caroline Julia Yemm did ( her grandchild) I was thrilled with all the
information about Caroline Hopkins father especially the Coroners report.
I am now going to try and find out what school my mother went to she was
12 when they went to live in Wales. My grandfather was John James Yemm who
married Annie Elizabeth Ellen Bendall, they lived in Viney Hill, Blakney,
Once again many thanks for taking the time to research my query.

This has also been very useful to me as I believe that the Thomas Hopkins who met an untimely death is my great great great grandfather.Caroline i think was his sister.His son Thomas born abt 1856 moved to Wales and worked as an Engine driver in Cardiff.
