There were two Stimpson/Hopper births - 1935 Romford, and 1938 West Ham (Margaret in the 1939 Register).

The 1935 child married in 1955, was living in Kent in 2018, was still alive in 2022 and probably still is in 2024.
There were four probable births of children from that marriage, in four different places 1957-62

You will need to know his first name and birthplace/year.

Does anyone have family links to PTE H STIMPSON who served on the North-West Frontier in India during 1930-31? There could be a connection with Huntingdon, Cambridge..
