The article claims - with sources - that three generations of the family ran this firm between 1570 and 1759. To me the maths does not add up. Surely it's a typo and it's 1659 or something? GiantSnowman 08:01, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The source I cited did say that, although you are right the math didn't add up. The COI editor that recently wandered in and was promptly blocked had replaced the history section with a much more detailed, albeit unsourced, version that indicated John had a son named George, who had a son named George Jr., who had a son named George III, who had a son named George IV, who was the last Hooper to control the firm. However, I can't put that in the article without a source. But I changed it to "descendant" because it is both accurate either way and makes more sense given the math. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 16:38, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
