Joseanne I've instances of children with names that don't add up - sometimes they are using a middle name on the census. My best one is a Joseph who turned into a Mary in the next census!!! nell

Thanks Nell, so it looks like there wasn't another family in 1901 with those names. So I think the one I found on the 1891 freecen could be the same as mine as the ages are consistent although the birth reg for William & Minnie are 1882 & 1884. And that would explain why I can't find Walter or Annie on the bmd's.

Nell, is his son William or Walter?

Only one William Hopkins 1901 is the chap you have and his son, the others in Brighton aren't the right ages. nell

Possibly this is the same family. Please can someone look up to see if there is another Hopkins family in Brighton with these names.

PLease would some kind person do a look up for me so see if there are 2 families with these names. see below
