Hamilton

As I have posted some info regarding Reid, Reynolds and Hopkins recently I hope to expand on those names very soon. I hit one of those brick walls that we all run into in this pastime. I don’t have too much data on my Dad’s side (Reid, Reynolds) so I splashed out and ordered some birth and marriage certs from the NSW Registry of BDM’s. They should be arriving pretty soon. I’m particularly excited about this because I will be able to learn who his great grandparents were and their birthdates will sit at around the 1850’s. No matter how long you do this there are always nice little surprises around the corner!.

I’m also looking for to fill out the gaps in my Mum’s Hopkins side (here paternal grandfather) and have ordered a birth certificate for her grandfather’s sister. It seems her grandfather’s, Patrick Hopkins, birth was not registered which was not uncommon in those days. Anyway, her birth cert will tell me what I need to know, and hopefully, will list all her siblings as well. I once wrote them all down back in the days when I sat in the library pouring over the microfiche machine but I seem to have misplaced that one very piece of writing that I need.
