Thread: I was wondering if anyone can help me

Jessc182 · 31-08-2008, 01:48 PM

I am looking for my great grandmother on my grandad's side of the family.

Her name is Jane Hopcroft or Spencer, born in 1905 and died in 1954 in Nottinghamshire.

I am still trying to obtain a marriage and death certificate, but it would seem she does not have a birth certificate.

Any advice or help would be much appreciated.

Hi JessC182

Hi JessC182,

This looks like her marriage ref...
Jane W Hopcroft
Year of marriage 1925
Quarter of marriage Oct-Nov-Dec
Spouses surname Spencer
Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
Vol 7b Pg 885

Jessc182 · 31-08-2008, 02:00 PM

I'm not sure. Maybe.
She married Frank Brown of Nottinghamshire in 1951/52/53

and died in St Anns, Nottinghamshire.

Thank you for the post.

Wow thank you so much for the marriage reference. I know that she was married more than once. Spencer would make sense.

Wow thank you so so much.
I've been trying to find information for such a long time.

Do you know if she had any siblings?

Raven · 31-08-2008, 02:21 PM

Will have a quick look and see if there are any Hopcrofts born in Nottingham around her year of Birth.

Raven · 31-08-2008, 02:23 PM

Think this might be her death in 1954

Jane Brown
Nottingham 1954 3rd Qtr age 49 Vol 3c Pg 329

Jessc182 · 31-08-2008, 02:25 PM

I know she was 49 when she died.
Was the death date 31st July, i think that was the date.

Raven · 31-08-2008, 02:28 PM

Here are 2 that I think are positive siblings going by Jane's middle name.

Annie Worsop Hopcroft 1906 3rd Qtr Nottingham Vol7b Pg 423
Isabella Worsop Hopcroft 1902 4th Qtr Nottingham Vol 7b Pg 370

there are just too many born in Nottingham to tie them to Jane... sorry..
