i dont know if you've noticed but on the 1901 census, they are living in the same road (or area depending on how far apart farms, post office, etc were) as what appears to be richard's brother, william? |

if you go to the 1901 census with richard and hannah on and look at the others on the page, there are more hopkins |

OMG...It's his father!! I have just checked the 1861 census with Richard's name and his parents are William and Mary. |

No, it's not his father...wrong years. What do you reckon? He didn't have a son called William, do you think it could be a nephew? |

I think the occupation in 1871 is "turnpike road foreman" |
