I am contacting you because I have recently had a breakthrough on my HOPKINS line in Gloucester. As I have a Janette (sister) of my GGGrandfather in my line I think we are connected. I was pointed to this Post last week. I will briefly list the following so you can see the connection:

William HOPKINS b about 1730.
Phillip HOPKINS b 1773 Aylburton m Sarah Jane.
Thomas HOPKINS b 1804, Aylburton m Sarah.
These are the parents of 13 children. One of whom is Janette b 1827, Lydney. She is an older sister to John b 1839, Lydney - my 2nd GGrandfather.
John had a number of children, one of them, is Henry my GGrandfather.
Henry moved to Glamorgan in 1891, married and had children, one of them is George my Grandfather.
George married had 3 daughters all of them migrating to Melbourne before 1950.
My grandparents also migrated to Melbourne in 1952.
There are relatives in the Caerphilly area of Wales and in the Lydney area of Gloucester.

I see you have had your answer to the place name of Tankerhoops.

Contact me if you would like to go further with this.
