Hi,
It's been a few years since I've been on this thread and my emails have changed so lets give it another try.
My Grandmother Nora Anges MARTIN nee JOPSON was born in the LAKE DISTRICT in the UK about 1921. I believe her mother was Diana JOPSON nee PEARSON. Nora had 2 brothers one of whom died in World War 2, the second emigrated to Australia in the 1980's. Nora also had another sibling but I am not sure if its a boy/girl, but I do know that that siblings child is living in Spain. All of Nora's siblings and Nora have passed away - so I am trying to get info through any channels that I can.
Nora's father went to Canada in the 1920's to work in the mines in Timmins Ontario. He was killed there and the family stayed in England rather then move to Canada. It is possible that Noras father went to Canada with some of his brothers.
Noras father (My Great grandfather) is supposed to be one of 24 children. I am not sure if all of them survived BUT I do know that they were from the Lake District in England and that they had a farm.
I would like to talk to anyone who has JOPSON family lines and try to combine our knowledge and maybe fill in some of the blanks.
I am sorry that my message is a bit skewiff - all my family history is packed in a box as I am about to move soon. So apologies for not being accurate with dates and details.
