Hobson's of Heanor, West hallam and Smalley

Hobson was a name associated with mapperley Village for many years - although the name has "died out" in more recent years, there are still a few Hobson descendants living in that area- in fact one cottage is still referred to by locals as "Mrs Hobsons" -although she passed away many years ago.
Then there was Joseph Hobson who had a son Joseph -and he had a son Joseph -who went by his middle name of Rex - he married my cousin (strangely she is in Australia at the moment for 6 weeks and I think Brisbane is where she will be for one week!)Joseph Rex Hobson sadly passed away suddenly 2 years ago. Some of the Hobsons originally lived in (known locally as) Moons Yard Mapperley.

if of interest I will try to remember more about the Mapperley Hobsons
