22. Thomas Hopgood

Thomas Hopgood was my great-great grandfather, and father of Elizabeth Driscoll Hopgood, who married Alfred Strutt.

His wife was Rebecca Paris Hopgood, nee Driver. I searched the years 1842-1854 at the FRS, but wasn't able to find a marriage certificate for Thomas Hopgood and Rebecca Hopgood.

According to her birth certificate, Elizabeth Driscoll Hopgood was born on 3 November 1854 at 4 Causeway, Limehouse in the registration district of Stepney in the County of Middlesex. It gives her father as Thomas Hopgood, Hatter and her mother as Rebecca Paris Hopgood, formerly Driver. She was the informant, and made her mark, indicating that she could not write.

Many thanks to Gavin Grace for giving me the following information about other children of Thomas and Rebecca Hopgood. According to him, there was a Rebecca Isabella Hopgood who had an older brother Thomas and a younger brother Charles. Her parents were Thomas Hopgood and Rebecca Driver.

Rebecca Isabella's birth certificate has the following info.

Journeyman) and Rebecca (nee Driver)

Her marriage certificate has following info.
