General Notes
Charles of Shochlach Oviat was left £100 (the most of any of his brothers) by his father Thomas, so presumably favoured being the youngest at only 22 when his father died. His mother Catherine also left him £10, which was changed to £20 in the Will - suspect !
Charles and William died about the same time and were buried 2 days apart.

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.
