Anyone able to find anything on his parents?
BTW, he was born in Coalville, Leicestershire.
His parents:

No idea on his grandparents. Parents names are too common.
He mentioned on instagram that his grandfather’s name is Fred.
The names certainly are not unsual. At the same time, they are much less common than “Tom/Thomas Edward Hopper” I’d imagine. Thanks for finding them. I’ll see what I can do. In the meantime, his place of birth needs to be changed. I’m not sure where they got Basingstoke, Hampshire from.
