Candice,
You're very welcome for the info. I'm in Davenport, Iowa now, but I grew up very close to Alburg, Vermont, easily within driving distance of Sutton.
The Sutton parish records list that Alfred Hopson had a common-law relationship with Cornelia Ellen Louise Hudson, and that he's buried in Grace Church Cemetery. He's actually in Fairmount Cemetery in Sutton. (Although, for all I know Grace may be just another name for Fairmount.) Also in Fairmount is a gravestone for Charles E. Hopson (1876-1962) and his wife Myrtle E. Parks (1888-1957). Is this your Charles?
I dug through my notes again and found more info:
James Hopson (1833-1923)'s gravestone in Sutton lists his wife as Sarah Wilson (1837-1916) - perhaps a second marriage? The parish records list Sarah's death as Oct 29, 1916.
I think I found more of Alfred and Cornelia's family in the parish records. All are listed as "illegitimate":
Glenna Beryl Hopson - b. Jun 17, 1919 Sutton
Harriet Imogene Hopson - b. Dec 20, 1920 Sutton. Baptised. Married Dec. 20, 1938 Sutton, groom not listed
Robin Frances Hopson (son) - b. Jul 2, 1922. Baptised.
Louise Maud Hopson - b. Aug 17, 1924. Baptised. Married Feb. 14, 1942, signed marriage record, groom not listed.
James Russell Hopson - b. Jan 17, 1926. d. Jul 8, 1926. Baptised. Buried in Fairmount Cemetery, Sutton.
Lila May Hopson and Ensign Curtis, from my last message, were my great-grandparents on my mother's side. Lila would have been Alfred's niece... I wonder if she knew about the bordello?
If you're interested in the parish records, they come from Grace Church in Sutton, an Anglican church.
Parish of Sutton

And I understand the Anglican diocese maintains archives in Montreal.

Again, you're welcome to whatever info I can find, and thank you for info on your side.
Sincerely,
Robert
