There are these Breeze births with mother's maiden name Thorpe. (Mother's maiden name for births was only given after 1910). It looks as if Charles W. and John H. were twins and John H probably died.

Trying to find any info of a John Hope Breeze.The family history is that the name Hope that is still carried on as a middle name is so rumor has it some connection to the Hope diamond and the lonsdale belt or Lonsdale Family. Servant perhaps.John Hope Breeze was born in 1874 and in 1911 he was living in Batley Yorkshire.He was married to a Emma Thorpe and they had a son Leslie Hope Breeze.Thanks
