Hi Mairi,
I have just picked up your correspondence while trawling the Ancestry Message Board for
information on Jopps. The content of your message is very interesting to me. William
Chambers Jopp (as originally was) was my Great Grandmother's younger brother. She
married William Copland Beattie.
I believe that WCJ changed his name in a bout 1900 as his daughter Eleanor was born a
Chambers-Hunter).H e disappears as WCJ fro the Aberdeen phone book in 1903. His father
was Keith Jopp, HEIC Surgeon and then wine merchant (as was WCJ), with his brother
William. Keith married Rachel Chambers Hunter, daughter of William Chambers Hunter.
I have a wealth of old photos that I have come down from Margaret Katherine
('Katy'). Infuriatingly, very fwe are annotated. However, I have identified
Keith, and am sure that William CH will be amongst them.
I have WCJ's (WJC-H) children as Charles Allardyce B.1894, Alexander B. 1898 (married
1923 Irene Constance Bennet), and Eleanor B.1901. Thereafter the well runs dry.
Please get in touch, as I feel we can both fill in some gaps; me the pre WCJ days and you
the 20th century.
All the very best,
Mark
