HOPKINS and HOPKINS als JANES. I have been researching my ancestors and have a direct line to Robert Hopkins who died 14 January 1494. ( He is my 12x Great grandfather ). All his descendants were Hopkins - Janes until 1700 in my line when they suddenly dropped the Janes. Others the Janes suddenly dropped the Hopkins**I have had my DNA ancestry done and we are Nordic people and no relation to the Hopkins' in Wales or Ireland.

Several generations of my ancestors were born~ lived & died in Linslade from the early 1800s right through to the early 1900s. Most were working on the railways and lived in and around Wing Rd~ Southcott & Southcourt~ Rose Cottage~ Gibraltar Square~ Soulbury Rd~ Old Road. Examples: Ambrose Holland Snr (married Sarah Chandler~ 7 kids)~ Ambrose Holland Jr (Married Mary Ann Jelley~ 7 kids)~ Charles Holland (Married Sophia Wheeler moved to Harlesden~ 3 kids). I would be very interested in any old photographs of any of these places or articles~ stories~ etc. from Linslade around that period - or anyone who has links into any of these other family trees.

• Fred - thank you this is very exciting I would love to know more! I had already located Lillie in my research, but the trail down that branch went cold. Can you drop me a note at the following e-mail address and we can exchange contact details & hopefully chat further. I am directly descended from Lillie's older brother Charles and I have also made contact with another suriviving relative of Lillie's older brother John Emmanuel. m.holland@sky.com

• Just seen your comments re Ambrose Holland he was my gr Grandfather Granny Holland(Mary Ann Jelley) brought up my father when his mother Ambrose's daughter Lillie died. To complicate things Mary Ann's sister Jane married my gr grandfather Thomas Dawson. I was born in Willesden but lived 57 years in Linslade. I do have some photo's re the above.
