My grannie

My grandmother was born in Geddinton Nov. 4, 1888. She was baptized and confirmed at St. Mary Magdalene. I have the prayer book she was given at her Confirmation. Her name was Agnes Mary Hopkins, the daughter of York and Rebecca Hopkins. She emigrated to Canada with her sister, Emily Whitney in 1910. My father visited Geddington when he was stationed in England dduring WW2. Someday I would like to visit Northamptonshire also. Margaret Reid

RE: My grannie

I was born at Geddington in 1941. My grandfather George William Hopkins was the brother of Agnes and Emily. I have fully researched the Hopkins family back to 1749. Melvyn Hopkins
