Birth Notes
- Ann Hopley of the parish of Farndon, aged over 21 and spinster when married.
  
  Name:    Ann Hopley
  Gender:    Female
  Baptism Date:    4 Nov 1792
  Baptism Place:    Shocklach, Cheshire, England
  Father:    Charles Hopley
  Mother:    Mary
  FHL Film Number:    1751621

Ann's father was Charles Hopley and her mother was Mary Poovah. Her paternal grandparents were Thomas Hopley and Catherine Lewis. She had a brother and four sisters, named Samuel, Elizabeth, Catherine, Mary and Emma. She was the second oldest of the six children. She died at the age of 71 in September 1862 in Birkenhead. Her burial was on September 14th, 1862 in Shocklach.³

Death Notes
- Ann Hopley of Birkenhead was buried at Shocklach, 14 Sep 1862, aged 74 years. Could this be her, as she was at Kings Moss Farm, Bilinge, Lancashire the previous year in 1861 with her husband Robert and family?
  
  This death was registered at Eastham (1862, EAS/8/37, age 74). Other deaths at Eastham, suggest this could have been the Mother of Martha (1817-1885) and Samuel Hopley (1822-1895)
  
  There are no Hopley families registered on the Birkenhead census for 1861, so it probably is her as age matches.
  
  Another theory is that Ann married John Hough in 1826 and later died in Ashton Under Lyne, buried 4 Sep 1864, aged 72. However, Robet and Ann Hopley are still together on the 1841 census.
