Thanks Vera for that info, Henry's a bit of a mystery as he was Henry Humphrys Hooper on his marraige cert but on the census's he was William, he married Emma King in Bath in1842. Henry's father on the marriage cert was Jacob Hooper and Emma's father was Henry King.

Hi Pat

Is this the family on the 1851 Census?

Name: Emma Hooper
Age: 38
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1813, Bradford, Wiltshire,
Relation: Wife

Spouse's Name: William

Civil parish: Lyncombe and Widcome


Street Address: 31 Beechen Cliffe

Registration district: Bath, Somerset

Sub-registration district: Lyncombe

William Hooper 36 born Trowbridge, Wilts, Jobbing Gardener.
Emma Hooper 38
Emma Hooper 9 born Bath, Somerset
Martha Hooper 7 born Bath, Somerset
William Hooper 5 born Bath, Somerset
Kate Hooper 3 born Bath, Somerset.

Is William's occupation the same as on Henry's marriage certificate?

If not, I would be inclined to get hold of one of the children's birth certificates to prove that the mother was Emma King.

Pat Report 2 Aug 2009 11:05

Yes this is the family, Henry was a gardener on his marriage cert, and I have Kate's birth cert it says father Henry (Gardener) and mother Emma King, I also looked up Kates brother William on the baptism records in Bath Record office and his parents were Henry and Emma so I don't know why he is changed his name to William on the census, Its so confusing.

Thanks for that, looks promising, I wonder if one of these could have a child Frederick Hooper as he was a witness at Henry/William and Emma King's wedding and that would make him a cousin.
