Hopkins, William Francis

William was born in the second quarter of 1896 and christened, at St Mary’s Warwick, on 5th July 1896. At the time his parents were living at 4 Victoria Terrace, Saltisford, Warwick. William Senior is recorded as a Butler.

By the time of the 1901 census, William (4) was living with his parents and older sister, Eveline (9) at 4 Broad Street, Warwick.

In 1911 the family were living at North Lodge, Moreton Morrell where they had a visitor staying on census night, John Wilmer, aged 12, so perhaps he was a friend of William’s. William Senior was still working as a Butler, William Junior was at school.
