Well, it looks like my original thinking on WILLIAM CUELL HOPKINSON and HENRY JONATHAN HOPKINSON are twins. I received a lot of records from the Elmwood Cemetery but the most important people to me had missing records, so I e-mailed BARB at the Elmwood Cemetery to see if by chance she could check the gravestone for my 2 great grandparents to see if there were dates of death there and she e-mailed me back with the following information. ============== ELMWOOD CEMETERY Sept. 29, 2004 There is a monument on the Hopkinson lot H 64. The info concerning William G, Hopkinson is December 21, 1830 and died September 2, 1909 Clarina H. Smith March 8, 1829 and died December 10, 1907. R. O. Hopkinson 1864 - 1945 and Jeanie 1863 -1939. Hope that this is a help. I do have a listing of all burials in the cemetery. Let me know if you require something else. Barb ============= The new birthdate for WILLIAM C. HOPKINSON was a real relevation as the 1901 Census had a different date of birth and place of birth of USA which is incorrect as he was listed as born in England on every other census I found him on. 1901 census CANADA Coaticook Quebec Surname Givens Age Province District Subdistrict Subdistrict Number Page Line Hopkinson William 70 QU STANSTEAD Coaticook (Town/Ville) d-2 18 18 18 155 HOUSEHOLD: Hopkinson William M Boarder W Religion Methodist date of birth Jan 13 1830 70 (WIDOWER) INCORRECTLY listed as b.

Record ID: 292157 Sex: male Colour: white Relationship to Head of Household: head Status: married Birth Date: 22 December 1830 Age Last Birthday: 70 Birthplace: England - urban Year of Immigration to Canada: 1872 (Note: cannot be correct date of emigration) They married in Sherbrooke in June 30, 1857. Racial Origin: English Nationality: Canadian Religion: Church of England [Anglican] Profession: carpenter; earns $200 for 8 months work Literacy: can read, write, and speak English Mother Tongue: English Others Listed: wife Barbara Hopkinson (age 63); date of birth listed as: March 25, 1838 son Henry (27); date of birth listed as: July 12, 1873 daughter Jenny (19); date of birth listed as: November 21, 1881 Address: 115 London Street; City of Sherbrooke, North Ward, Sherbrooke Source: National Archives of Canada Fourth Census of Canada - 1901 Province: Quebec District No.: 193 - Sherbrooke Sub District No.: D - Sherbrooke City North Ward Division No.: 1 Page: 14 Line: 34 Reel: T-6546 `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~ It certainly appears to me that these two men were TWINS. I noticed on HENRY's census that he was from Urban England. I assume that he arrived with his twin WILLIAM before WILLIAM married CLARINA HOWARD SMITH April 14, 1851. Any suggestions for further research on these two HOPKINSON's as far as when emigrated and where from in England and parents? Thanks, Jacqueline Sleeper Russell
