: 'A' Hopkin Hopkins arrived on the Hawkesbury in 1878 (assisted immigration Sydney) . His age is listed as 35 yrs.

Raymond Barlow HOPKINS was born on 25 February 1923 in Broken Hill NSW. He served in the military Army Engineers between 1939 and 1945 in Darwin NT. Uncle 'Ray' served in the Army Engineers during World War 2 in Darwin. He was present during the Japanese bombing of Darwin. I'm not sure if I remember or was Between 1949 and 1983 he was a Miner in Broken Hill NSW. Raymond died on 10 June 2006 in Wagga Wagga NSW. For a few weeks after leaving Broken Hill, uncle Ray & Aunty Pat lived in a flat in Tumut. It wasn't long before Uncle Ray needed to go to hospital in Tumut. Eventually he was transferred to Wagga hospital where he died.
I spoke to him by telephone a couple of times and he was full of praise for the hospital staff and seemed very comfortable. The second time I spoke to him it was obvious he was either fading or on heavy medication. However, he retained his sense of humour.
Raymond Barlow Hopkins was the last male of his generation and at the time of his death was survived by his two sisters Lorna Spannagle and Joan Blackshaw. His second name 'Barlow' was his grandparents surname on his father's side.
I'm not sure if I remember or was told that when on leave just after the War he stayed at our place and each afternoon took me to the 'local' (Hotel) for an outing.
He regularly went camping with us to the river. One time when my father had to leave the camp and return to Broken Hill, Uncle Ray drove our car home. As we were about to climb a hill somewhere the gear stick of the 1939 Vauxhall came out. While it was amusing later it wasn't at the time. He managed to fit it back and my job was to hold it in place as we drove along.
He was a very fit 80 Year old and after he retired gave up the beer and the cigarettes not an easy task for someone who always had a beer after work on the way home.
He has always been a staunch Union supporter and didn't have a lot of time for the bosses. We had many arguments about politics etc., over the years but never came to blows. Parents: Thomas James (Jnr) HOPKINS-10 and Margaret KERIN (HOPKINS)-11.

He built their home in 707 Beryl Street from the ground up and while it seemed to take a long time he completed it almost unassisted and has stood the test of time.
They lived in the same home until 2006. Due to his illness, Aunty Pat's difficulties in coping without his support and the distance from his family support they moved to Tumut.
He bought our 1929 Chevrolet and drove it everywhere for many years. He was particularly proud of his fruit trees and garden. Because of the lack of water and the harsh climate it is not easy to grow quality fruit in Broken Hill, but he did.
Children were: Living, Living, Living.

His inquest report also stated he spent a year in Western Australia Twin 2 immigrated on 8 July 1875 to AUSTRALIA - Brisbane Qld "Ramsey".⁶⁸⁶ The inquest into his death at Broken Hill may shed some light upon his immigration: ".... he was 52 yrs of age (1908), [ but more likely 55 yrs] was born in Bridgend, Glamorganshire, Wales and had been in Australia for about 32 years [ 1876 approx], deceased had spent about half his time in Queensland and half in NSW, he had been for 12 months in Western Australia, deceased was married in Woolongong 23 years ago, and had two sons, deceased had been mining for about 32 years."

Grave : Broken Hill (same grave as his father) - no inscription [Photo]⁶⁹² Thomas Hopkins 'Old Tom', was an interesting character. Putting aside his love of gambling and a cold beer which caused some family crises he was always the source of amusement in the family.
He rode his bicycle only fast enough to prevent it falling over and is famous for hitting the Murton Street bus with his car when failing to give way.
As a bushman he was second to none. When the family went camping he always dragged his 'swag' a distance away. He hated nothing more than anybody even touching his fishing lines but he always caught more fish than anybody and alone he'd shoot more ducks than the rest combined. As a consequence he was often the butt of jokes by the sons in law in particular. They often hung objects such as shoes on his fishing line and once they took all of the lead shot out of his shot gun cartridges.
He was a water diviner and well sinker. He loved to demonstrate to the grand kids and see who could divine water.
An incident is well remembered which at least for some gave him hero status. A man fell, and was killed falling to the bottom of a well at Bootra Bore near Broken Hill. As the well timbers were rotten nobody would attempt to retrieve his body. Following the pleas of the family he went to the bottom of the well and retrieved the body at considerable risk to his own life.
He always made the grand kids welcome and was interested in their activities and enjoyed nothing more than telling stories about Broken Hill history.
He didn't drink a cup of tea he 'called it' because he liked it black and 'piping hot'.
The day he died he asked his son Ray to collect his winnings from the SP bookmaker.

William HOPKINS was born in 1793 in UK - Wales - LLantwit Major Glamorgan.^30,629 He was baptized on 22 December 1793 in UK - Wales - LLantwit Major Glamorgan.⁶⁹⁵ About 1815 he was a Farmer in Uk Wales - "GWT" Llanilid, Dist of Bridgend, Glamorganshire. In 1841 William was a Victualler - Hotel owner in UK - Wales - Llanilid, Glamorganshire.⁶⁹⁶ He died on 4 June 1863 in UK - Wales - Llanilid, Glamorganshire Gwt Farm house.⁶⁹⁷ He was buried after 4 June 1863 in UK - Wales - Llanilid Churchyard Cem Dist Bridgend, Glamorganshire.⁶⁹⁸ Grave : Grv 74 Llanilid Cem Dist Bridgend, Glamorganshire Parents: David HOPKINS-4455 and Living.

Spouse: Mary MORGAN (HOPKINS)-89. Mary MORGAN (HOPKINS) and William HOPKINS⁶⁹⁹ were married on 5 October 1832 in UK Wales - Llanilid Dist. of Bridgend Glamorganshire.⁷⁰⁰ Appears to have resided in Coychurch at the time of marriage.
According to Marie-jeanne Shaw, William & Mary had three children named James who died between 1848 and 1853. These are not listed in this family record at this time.This would make the number of children 12 in total.
The 1881 Welsh Census indicates Mary is the Head of the household is 68 yrs and the following people resided with her: Jane 37, daughter unmarried; Hopkin Hopkins, 29 Son, Widower, Carpenter; Edward, Grandson 5 born Newcastle, Scholar, Ann J 3, Grand daughter, born Newcastle. The Grandchildren probably belonged to Hopkin Hopkins. William Hopkin(s) was about 20 years older than his wife Mary Morgan. It is likely the farm they owned [Gwt near Llanilid, Glamorgan] belonged originally to Mary's family. In the 1841Welsh Census William's occupation is listed as Victualler - Hotel owner.
The records indicate they had ten children, Seven died in Wales, Two (David Thomas and Thomas James) emigrated to Australia and the fate of the eldest, Mary, is unknown.

The family grave [Grv 74] at Llanilid also contains the remains of Catherine Jenkins b 1758 d 1829. No suggestion of her relationship to the Hopkins family. Similarly,
The nearby [Grv 73 ] which is the crypt / multiple internment, for the Morgan Family contains Mary Fowle / relict of Edward Fowle, late of Treoyse who died Feb 16th 1865 age 31 yrs.

Children were: Mary HOPKINS-4444, William Jnr HOPKINS-777, Ann HOPKINS-778, George HOPKINS-779, Jane HOPKINS-780, Daniel HOPKINS-781, David Thomas HOPKINS-511, Hopkin "Twin 1" HOPKINS-782, Thomas James "Twin 2" HOPKINS Snr-86, Edward HOPKINS-4357.

William Jnr HOPKINS was born in 1836 in UK - Wales - Llanilid, Glamorganshire.⁷⁰¹ Not listed as living at home with his mother in the 1881 Census.As a result of records from Wales it appears he died in 1857. He died on 3 October 1857 in UK Wales - Llanilid Dist. of Bridgend Glamorganshire Gwt Farm house.⁶³⁰ He was buried after 3 October 1857 in UK - Wales - Grv 74 Llanilid Cem Dist Bridgend, Glamorganshire.⁷⁰² William immigrated before 1893 to Australia see note (Questionable). The following is included because there are conflicting reports / records concerning his life. "He assisted his brother David (along with another brother George) with a building in 1893 at Stanwell Park NSW" This confirms his immigration to Australia prior to 1893, however no records of arrival via Assisted Immigration for NSW or Queensland (Sept 2005)were found.
His immigration to Australia is to be seriously questioned in view of the death / burial records from Wales
The following record is the only 'possible but unlikely' arrival which is included as an aid to further research. Victorian Unassisted passages - Hopkins William 18yrs Oct 1861 "Prince of the Seas" Port B 194 002 . There's another Hopkins William, age 16, arrived 'Sultana' 1/11/1862 [Ref IMM/112 P 212 M/f No. 1696. About 1893 he was a Builder in Stanwell Park NSW (questionable).

Joan HOPKINS (BLACKSHAW) was born on 7 April 1921 in Broken Hill NSW. She was educated after 1925 in Broken Hill NSW - North and Broken Hill High School. She died on 13 March 2009 in Adelaide Repatriation Hospital. Until Christmas 2008, Joan had been quite well and certainly very independent. She
travelled to Adelaide for Christmas and her illness emerged while there. Once hospitalised she remained there until her passing. Joan was buried on 19 March 2009 in Broken Hill NSW - with spouse Alan Blackshaw. The funeral service for Joan Blackshaw was conducted at the St Peter & Paul Catholic Church at North Broken Hill.
This was fitting as this was 'her' church and she had also been very involved with the attached school ( now closed) assisting in many different ways while her children attended.
Many family and friends attended : Pat Spannagle ( wife of nephew Peter) played the organ, Peter Spannagle (nephew) and Mary Martin ( long time family friend) were the readers.
I ( Trent Niemann) was privileged to read a poem especially selected for the day :

Miss Me But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
why cry for a soul set free ?

Miss me a little, but not too long
and not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me, but let me go

For this is the journey we all must take
and each must go it alone
it's all part of a master plan
a step on the road to home

When you are lonely & sick at heart
go to the friends we know
laugh at the things we used to do
Miss me, but let me go

The service was concluded with the song "Danny Boy" ... a song loved by many of the family and frequently sang on happier occasions.

Aunty Joan was laid to rest with Uncle Alan at the Broken Hill Cemetery. The family were the Pall Bearers.

While a sad time it was a chance for many 'old' & getting older cousins to get together and Aunty joan would have been pleased about that.
Grave : Broken Hill NSW - with spouse Alan Blackshaw There seemed to be special bond between the Blackshaws of Chapple Lane and the Niemann's of Blende St.. Aunty Joan and my mother were close sisters.They worked for the school together, played cards and tennis together and we often spent holidays together.They also argued and disagreed at times like sisters will !
Rodney & I both received slug guns and Hoppalong Cassidy suits for Christmas in 1953 when we were holidaying in Albury.
Aunty Joan gave my first watch for my 8th birthday.
She had a special 'magic' ice-cream make which used dry ice for cooling and a well known three milk (powdered, fresh & condensed) recipe.
Aunty Joan and my mother both shared the view that their kids weren't going to be 'spoilt' and they didn't hesitate to give us a 'hiding' with the nearest thing at hand when we 'stepped out of line'.
During 2004 I had the opportunity to drive back from Broken Hill with aunty Joan and she talked about living in a small house with a large family. There were only two main bedrooms in the house. The boys slept out the back and the next eldest slept on the front verandah. The other kids room had a double bed which slept three kids. The eldest always slept on the easiest side to get out, the next younger in the middle and the youngest against the wall. With the arrival of the next child the eldest moved to the verandahs and the youngest to the middle .. and so on.
When it was her turn to sleep on the verandah, she and Uncle Ray would wait until a late night caller to a neighbour (some scandal here) would leave treats in the letter box. She and Uncle Ray would raid the letter box and share in the treats !
Aunty Joan was still playing tennis into her 70's and would be still if her legs would permit.She was involved in the Pistol club and still loves her card games with friends. (2004)

Phyllis Muriel HOPKINS (KIRKWOOD) was born in 1910 in Broken Hill NSW. She was educated about 1916 in Broken Hill NSW - North School. She lived housewife in Melbourne - East Ivanhoe in 1956. Coming from Broken Hill we ( Trent Niemann) had never seen the like of two story houses with toilets inside and electric washing machines etc. The house even had a 'bar room' where Graeme and I tested a variety of alcoholic beverages. I saw my first Television in Melbourne in about 1955. Phyllis lived housewife in Lorne Vic - Holiday home in 1957. Lorne was a dream like experience. I couldn't 'get over' the size of and the number of trees and the amount of rain. The surf was a new experience and early- on was 'dumped' many times. Horse riding on the beach was exhilarating as was hitchhiking along the coast with Graeme.
The greated drama was the result of climbing through a window (messing about) and knocking a plaque from the wall which broke into 'a million pieces' . I had to face Uncle Phil when he came down for the week end. He chided me very mildly and only later did I discover he bought it in Italy for 250 pounds ... a small fortune in the 1950's.
She lived housewife, dog breeder in Melbourne - Beaumauris in 1990. She died on 18 May 1992 in Melbourne Vic. Phyllis was buried after 22 May 1992 in Melbourne Vic.⁷⁰⁶ Grave : Cremated, ashes spread around her last home Aunty Phyllis lived in Melbourne but from time to time flw to Broken Hill for a family visit. She fascinated us Broken Hill kids with her jewellery and always looked like a model in a shop window !
When my Brother Grant needed medical treatment he regularly went to Melbourne. Aunty Phyllis was a second mother to him and I sometimes got to 'tag along' for the trip. Aunty Phyllis always treated us like her own kids and visits to Melbourne were really special. It was during those years I developed a bond with her and in latter years she came to stay with us for a while at Stockport and Berri. She helped me with painting and gardening.
She loved to yarn about the past and play cards. Parents: Thomas James (Jnr) HOPKINS-10 and Margaret KERIN (HOPKINS)-11.

Grave : RC Sec XB R13 Gr36 [Photo] My image of Aunty Edna is in the kitchen with a horde of kids around her, flour everywhere and food either going into or being taken out of the wood fired oven. She loved kids and cooking.
She also loved 'Housie' (a Broken Hill term for Bingo) and regularly attended and seemed always to be winning.
Staying at her home in Silverton was always a great adventure. The lack of electricity made living with kerosine lamps a special event. Anybody moving through a house with 'kero' or 'Tilley' lamps conjured up images of ghosts for a young person ... it did for me. Sleeping three or four kids to a bed was also a special event.
