Hello,
I am looking for information on a John Hooper.
This is what I know about him:

He married Mary Jane Gove (looks like a G on one of his daughters birth certificates, but could be an L).

He had 4 known children and according to the 1911 Census, Mary Jane had 6 children altogether but only 4 were living when the 1911 Census was taken.

His children were:
Fanny J Hooper (b.1898 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa)
Jas (not sure what short for) H Hooper (b.1899 St Agnes, Cornwall, England
Gwendoline May Hooper (b.1900 St Agnes)
Caroline Blanche Hooper (b.30 July 1901 St Agnes)

His wife, Mary Jane, was born in Rosscommon, Ireland about 1875.

I have found his wife and children in the 1901 Census. John is not with them but Mary Jane is listed as married. In the 1911 Census, again it is just Mary Jane and the children but she is listed as widowed. So John died sometime between 1901 and 1911.

I have his daughter, Caroline Blanche Hooper's, birth certificate.

Here is the information I have and where it is sourced:
Caroline's birth certificate - John's name and Mary Jane's maiden name.
- John's occupation (Tin Miner)
- Mary Jane's (she is the one who registered the birth) address (Mithian Mill, St Agnes, Cornwall, England)

1901 Census - Household made up of: Mary Jane (head), Fanny (dau), Jas (son) and Gwendoline (dau)
- Address is Mithian, Cornwall
- Wife and children ages at time of census and places of birth
- No occupation's lised for wife and children
- Mary Jane listed as married

1911 Census - Household made up of: Mary Jane (head), Fanny (dau), Gwendoline (dau) and Blanche (dau)
- Blanche is Caroline who seemed to go by her middlename rather than her first
- Wife and childrens ages and birth places
- Mary Jane is a Caretaker at a Boarding House
- All 3 daughters are at school
- Address is Rosenannon, Cornwall, England

Does any of this match or sound like a John Hooper they know of?
