p. 165A Ln 28 Hopkins M 55 F W Keeps House England Insane

Amazing. This asylum consists of 1045 inmates — every single one labeled, "insane" — and three staff, labeled "Keeper, Bookkeeper, and Clerk." The inmates all appear to be single (no families or children), they are overwhelmingly foreign born, the vast majority are "prime" adults (in their 30s-50s), and nearly all are employed, at something. You get the impression this is an immigrant labor camp, not a hospital. I'll bet the history of this institution would make a fascinating story.

3. 1880 Census Index/Extraction (online at FamilySearch.org): not found, as least not in California as a HOPKINS born in England or ca. 1815.
