I am hoping that someone could please help me. I am searching for my great-grandmother,
Louise A. Hopwood. She was born Sept. 25, 1867 or 1871. I can not find a thing about her
(before she married my gr-grandfather)
The mystery is that Louise married my great-grandfather Charles F. Crossman, do not know
when or where though. They had a child (my grandmother) Joy (Joie) who was born Nov. 26,
1890 in Toledo, Ohio. On my grandmother's birth certificate it states her mother as
Louise A. Hopwood. On Louise's death certificate it states her father as Joseph Rix,
and her mother as just "Charlotte".
In the 1910 census they were found living in Detroit. With Louise A. being born in Canada,
father in England and mother in England.
In 1920 census it states the Emily (Louise became Emily Louise) which is the name on her
headstone, that she was born in England.
In 1930 census it states E. Louise as being born in Wales.
If anyone can help me or lead me into some kind of direction, I would greatly appreciate
it. I am fairly new to this and not sure exactly where to turn in this.
Thank you so much!
