I am searching for descendants of my gt gt grandfather Thomas Elstone Hooper, m Letitia Parsons 12/04/1814 at St P& J, Bristol.

Thomas had 4 sons: Thomas Elston Hooper b 1815, Henry Elston Hooper b 1818, my gt grandfather Robert Elston Hooper b 1824. These all lived & married in Bristol.

The fourth son was John Elston Hooper b 1826, who emigrated and married Mary Ann Knight in Hobart in 1850, arriving in Australia on the ship Blanche.

I am trying to find any living descendants of their 6 children - all born in Hobart.:

Ann Maria Hooper b 1850
Elizabeth Jane Hooper b 1852
John Embery Hooper b 1856
Emily Harriet Hooper b 1859
Henry Charles Hooper b 1862
Lilian Louise Hooper b 1872

Hi David - in case no-one else responds ..... the 'Tasmania State Library' has an 'Ask Us' service (on-line) -they will check their records for you (they have archives) Also -there's 'Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness (Aus)' on-line -they have volunteers in Tas. to check records (hopefully) BMD's etc. .....Valerie (WA)

Many thanks to alll who have replied here, with a wealth of information for me to sort through later.

To Valerie. I have made a note of your information, and may use that route.

To Eileen. The Hobart phonebook list of Hoopers is a useful idea. Will get back to you on that.

To Julie. Thanks for all that work you have done.

a) Ref the list of grandchildren of John & Mary that you provided in your post 14/6/08 08.05, I do have that info from the Tas bmd site, plus a few names on gravestones.

b) I have contacted a descendant of Ruby Hilda Hooper here on GR.

c) Re Harold John Hooper b 1888 . I have seen an old photo of Hobart town with a shop sign reading Hooper - Undertaker. So maybe this was him?

d) Re the info you have from the Australia Electoral Rolls. Is this only available online by subscription?
