Thank you slowhands, once more, for your great detective work.

Ian Thomas replied to me direct, and I regret to say that there appears to be no connection with my Hopkins family. It would have been nice to make contact with someone from our family still living in the Forest, because they have obviously been there for a long time (I am now back to my great great great grandparents via both my great grandfather and great grandmother who migrated here in 1860.

Three of my uncles went from NZ to Britain as soldiers in the First World War, and evidently they tried to make contact with family then, with no success. That was only 60 years after migration...

Thanks again. John.

Thank you David. I picked up that info, but was a bit confused and thought there might have been something else that I had missed. Thank you for your continuing help to me and to all of us.

Here are the details that Ian sent us sent us about the Hopkins family.
These details are also below the Cookson Terrace Post Office photo in the gallery.
------
Cookson Terrace PO is No 7 Cookson Terrace
My grandmother, Kate Hopkins, ran the Post Office that served Lydney Harbour
She was widowed in 1916 when her husband who served on the "Black Dwarf" died in 1916
She raised a family of 10 children more or less single handed

The two children in the doorway are Dorothy Olive Hopkins 1907-1955 and my
Mother Gwendolen Elsie Hopkins 1913-2001
------
I will contact Ian and ask him if he has further information on the Hopkins
family that he would like to share with us here on the Message Board so yourself
and others can see if they have any connections with this family.
