HI Suzie, yeah the information i received was from Amanda who is also
researching the Hooper family on the surnames page. It's just confusing
because the information given to me is actually connected to mine as in her
family tree she has my ggg grandfather. So there definitely is a connection,
and Amanda mentioned to me that Michael hooper was married 3 times, and
Perrin (the mother of Charles Michael my gg grandfather) was one of his
wives. Yet on the birth certificates it's Lloyd. So yeah that's the
confusing part. The IGI records aren't based on actual certificates? This
has all become rather confusing. I'm not sure what i'm supposed to look at
now. Ainslee
