RESEARCH NOTES:

- no marriage for a John Hopgood indexed in Cornwall - perhaps married in Devon where Ann was from.
- published 20 NOVEMBER 1846, Friday in the West Briton newspaper:
“At Kilkhamptom, on the 12th instant, Mr. John HOPGOOD.”
- this article (Third Court proceedings regarding a burglary in Kilkhampton) in The West Briton Newspaper, published 11 AUGUST 1843, Friday (Summer Assizes), mentions “Hopgood the blacksmith” as a witness (“The Judges appointed a third court this morning, in which Mr. SERGEANT HALCOMB presided. This court was held in the Grand Jury room.”):
“BURGLARY. PRISCILLA LOCKERY, 16, and ANN GIST, 16, were charged with having broken and entered the house of JOHN HOCKRIDGE, at Kilkhampton, and stolen therefrom a purse containing about GBP 19. Mr. ROWE conducted the prosecution. John Hockridge examined. I am a carrier at Kilkhampton. On the 28th of April, I returned from Plymouth to my home. I went to bed between nine and ten at night; I had about GBP 19 in sovereigns and silver in a purse in my trowsers' pocket. On going to bed I put my trowsers on the foot of the bed; my wife afterwards came to bed. In the night my wife woke me, and I heard a rattling of money on the top of the bed. I got out and heard the door creak. I went into another room and saw no one; I then returned and said they shan't have my money then, and I then threw my trowsers up by the bed's head. I got up the next morning about eight, and found my pocket screwed inside out, and the money gone. I knew Lockery many years; she lived with Gist's mother, about twelve or fourteen yards from my home. Lockery had been charing at my house, and had slept there many times, so that she knew the house as well as I did. I at once suspected Lockery, and went to see her; she said she had not been to the house that night nor a considerable time before. I saw my purse again in the constable's hands that same day. CREWS had it the same morning in my house counting the money. It was found before ten o'clock the same morning. When the money was found, Crews counted GBP 17 in the purse. JANE HOCKRIDGE, wife of the last witness, examined: Went to bed on the night in question about ten o'clock; came in from the stable through a back door, which I barred, and locked the fore door. When I came in my daughter was in the room into which the back door opens - both front and back doors are in one room. I heard a sound in the night in the room, and alarmed my husband. When I went down in the morning, I observed that a window was broken in a little room, by which a hand could be put in and the shutter opened. The street was outside of that window. The prisoner Lockery said the back door was wide open on that night, which the witness denied. JANE HOCKRIDGE, daughter of last witness, said that on the morning of the 26th of April she came down about half-past six; the back door was wide open. GEORGE CREWS, examined - I am schoolmaster at Kilkhampton; heard on the 29th of April last of this robbery; saw HENRY ADAMS, a brother-in-law of prosecutor, going to Gist's house about nine that morning; I joined Adams, and stood close by outside the house; after Adams went into the house I saw Ann Gist run on; she ran out to the end of the house, to her father's garden. I went in the direction which she had gone; there was a quantity of dung heaped up against Gist's house; I examined that dung for I thought it was not all right. On removing the dung, I found a purse. I took it back and produced it to John Hockridge and then counted it. There were GBP 17 in it. I gave the purse to Mrs. Hockridge, who gave it to GODDARD the constable. HOPGOOD, the blacksmith, was with me when I found the purse. SAMUEL GODDARD examined - I am a police officer at Stratton; the two prisoners were delivered into my charge on the 29th of April; I took them into custody, and handed them over to females to be searched. The purse had then been found. I heard Lockery say it is no use to search me, I have nothing about me, I have not the two sovereigns, for I handed the purse to Gist last night without opening it. At the time she said that the other prisoner was not present. The women searched her, but found nothing. Lockery said in her examination before the Magistrate that she lodged with the other prisoner's mother, and was unable to pay for her lodgings, in consequence of which Mrs. Gist told her that she must go into Hockridge's house when he was in bed and get some money. She did so, and immediately handed the purse over to Ann Gist, the other prisoner. JOHN FITZGERALD - I am a constable, and on the 30th of April I conveyed these two prisoners in a cart from Camelford to Bodmin. I heard them conversing about the robbery. Gist said, "I wish I had took the money further, and it would not have been found, but never mind we have got GBP2 and that will do to pay a lawyer, and when we get back we shall have a good spree with it." Lockery again made a statement similar to that which she made before the magistrates, and Gist said she was never out of the house all that night. The jury found Lockery GUILTY, and Gist NOT GUILTY. Mr. ROWE recommended Lockery to mercy, it being suspected that she was influenced by others. Twelve months' hard labour.”
bef 1824 when John was 24, he married Ann. Born abt 1803 in Pyworthy, Devon, England. Ann died in Kilkhampton, Cornwall, England, in Nov 1885; she was 82. Buried on 9 Nov 1885 in Kilkhampton Church, Kilkhampton, Cornwall, England.
