Can anyone help me find where my ancestor Robert Hodgson was born? He is listed in the 1841 census in Carlisle in England as being born in Sidney and a British Citizen. There seems to be no record of him before his marriage in 1833 to Jane Cape in Gretna Green. He was a stonemason.

My great-great-Grandmother was Alice Hodgson b 1805 Preston, Lancs. She married William Wrennall (Reynolds) in 1864. On their marriage cert, James Hodgson a brickmaker, is given as Alice's father. I have the death cert, of James Hodgson brickmaker b 1873 c. He died 27 Oct 1851 in Ribbleton Lane, Preston. I have been unable to trace him successfully in 1851 and 1841 censuses. I have details of James’s children from Preston graveyard.

My grandfather Thomas Archibald Hodgson was born in Liverpool in 1919, and died in Rotorua, New Zealand in 1977 or 1978. He fought in the Second World War and moved to New Zealand shortly afterwards. He married Norah Olive Evelyn Eve (unsure of the spelling of her name) while in New Zealand, and had four children there, including my mother. Not much is known about his life in England. Can anybody help?

I am searching for missing links in my Hodgson Tree. Richard Reed Hodgson was born in 1748 in Durham. He married Elizabeth Middleton in Chester-le-Street. He later married Ann Stafford. I am seeking information on Richard’s Parents. I understand his Father was probably Thomas Hodgson. My grandfather Robert Hodgson was born August 1828 in County Durham, England. He emigrated to the Ballarat Gold Fields in Victoria, Australia and settled in Otago, New Zealand in the Gold Rush around 1861-64. He died in Cardrona, N.Z. on 16 Dec 1893, leaving a widow with 11 children, one being my Mother Alice, a twin, then aged 2 months old. Robert’s Parents were William Hodgson born 1792 in Morpeth and Ann Embleton born 17 March 1790. Robert had seven siblings: Mary, Richard, Maryann, Edward, Benjamin, Sarah and Elizabeth. I would be most grateful to hear from any descendants and I would appreciate any leads. Thank you.

I can trace my Hodgsons back to Jonathan Hodgson 1755. I believe he was born in Rockcliffe in Cumbria in 1755. He married Rachel Furnace who was born in 1760; she was also from Cumbria. They had a son Thomas Hodgson, born in 1799 who married Eleanor Wright. I am now stuck and would find any information a bonus.

Rachel Bradley rjbradley81@hotmail.com
I am researching my family history and have drawn a blank with the Hodgsons. I believe my great-great-great-great grandfather was Featherstone Hodgson. I have the birth certificate for his son, born 30 September 1838 in the parish of St. Giles, New Durham, also registered as Featherstone Hodgson. He was brought up by his maternal grandparents, Christopher and Mary Bainbridge; he is with them on the early census returns and grew up as a Bainbridge. His mother, Jane Bainbridge, is not visible on census returns as far as I can see but would only have been 18 when her son was born. I have found a possible marriage of a Featherstone Hodgson in the district of Weardale in December 1838 but cannot confirm whether this was him. Neither can I identify him with certainty on census returns. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has knows any more about Featherstone Hodgson.
Jan Bridges bridgejp@hwy.com.au
Phillis Hodgson married Thomas Bridges on 13 May 1794 in Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire, England. She and Thomas had 13 children (I think), most of whom have been verified either through the IGI or through descendents of one of their children. I would really love to find out more about this lady as she is very elusive and seeing she gave the Bridges family so many ancestors, feel as if I need to give her some credit in our family tree.

Matthew Hodgson, an apothecary, at Hawkshead in Cumbria in England was my great-great-great-great-grandfather. He married Fanny Irton and they had a son Edmund Irton Hodgson who arrived in Australia 1822 where he married Sarah Birch (née Guest) at Hobart Town, VDL, on 29 November 1823. Sarah was a daughter of convict parents George Guest who arrived in Australia on the First Fleet 1887 and Mary Bateman who travelled on the Lady Julianna in 1788.
Jan Brown ian_jan@telus.net
I am researching the line of Stephen Hodgson. His son was Daniel (born about 1818) who married Ann Richardson in 1840 in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England. The censuses show they had 8 children and were also caring for a granddaughter, Sarah A. Hodgson. The children were Elizabeth (1847), William (1849), Mary Ann (1852), Elenor (1855), Jane (1858), Thomas (1860), John (1862) and Martha (1868). They were mostly born in Harrington, Cumberland, England with a few born in Whitehaven. My line comes in with Mary Ann Hodgson who married John Joyce in Whitehaven, England. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

After researching my family for years, I cannot find anything about my great-grandmother, Fanny Hodgson. She and my great-grandfather Albert William Browning were married in the Church of the Holy Trinity, Toronto, Ontario on 17 April 1884. Her maid of honour was Elizabeth Hodgson. Fanny gave birth to two children: a son Harry (1884) and a daughter Olive (1892) but then unfortunately died in childbirth. My Browning family lived in two locations: Frome, Somerset, England and Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Fanny had an album with family photos in perfect condition, from Belleville, Ontario; Brooklin, NY; Chicago, Ill; Des Moines, Iowa; Rochester, NY; and Winnipeg, Manitoba. If any of this strikes a cord with someone out there I would appreciate hearing from them.

My great-grandparents were: Matthew Hodgson of 129 Ark St, Consett, County Durham - coal miner/driver and Elizabeth Hodgson (née Carroll) of 6 Ark St, Consett, County Durham. My grandfather: was Matthew Hodgson - born 5 November 1917. He went to work as a projectionist at the Odeon Cinema in Clapham, this is where he met my grandmother Winifred and eventually they were married, they had a son Gerald Hodgson (my dad - born in 1939). My grandfather was called up for duty in around 1939-40. Sadly like so many of the brave men that went to war, he was killed in Damascus, Syria in July 1941 at the age of 23. Matthew Hodgson was in the Leicester Regiment - 2nd Battalion, his military number is 6023698, and he has the following war medals: Defence Star, Defence Medal, Africa Star, Middle East Star. At this moment in time this is the only information I have, I would dearly like to trace some of his relatives, maybe even find a photograph, as my dad has no idea what his father looked like, I would be grateful for any help.

I am trying to confirm a family story that my Hodgson ancestors originated on the Isle of Man. I have traced back to Francis Hodgson born c.1755 and his marriage in 1776 to Rebecca Askew in Maldon, Essex. The parish registers back to 1695 show that Francis was the only Hodgson in Maldon - no siblings or parents - and Rebecca Askew's family is the only Askew family there. There are other family names in Maldon that are said to originate in the Isle of Man – Quilter, Scarf, Cottier, Cowell. I have briefly searched the IGI and found Hodgsons scattered around the Isle of Man but not Francis. My ggg-grandfather and three of his children emigrated to Australia in 1857 and 1869. I am willing to share my research on my Hodgson line.

From census records it appears that the children were living with their grandparents in 1841 and 1851, but not subsequently.

I am of the Hodgson line that have farmed in Eskdale (Grosmont Priory) and on the North Yorkshire Moors (Biggin Houses, mirkside), around Whitby, for the 500 years or more. Some, John and Jane, were known as 'notorious recusants', being part of a safe house network for priests arriving from the continent. I am very interested in finding out whether there is a connection with the Hodgsons of Hebburn Hall, as claimed by the renegade priest, Thomas Clarke in 1593 (Aveling). I'd also love to find out what happened to my g-g-g-granddad's brother, Francis, who apparently emigrated to Australia. Thomas was born in 1801; Francis was his little brother. Many thanks.
Bev Hodgson bevhodgson@optusnet.com.au
My great grandfather was John Hodgson, born circa 1774. But I have not been able to trace his baptism. In the baptism record of some of his children he is stated to be a “native of Holwick” in North Yorkshire. In the 1840 census when living in Romaldkirk, North Yorkshire, he indicated he was born in the same county. He died before the 1851 census. He married Mary Collinson at nearby Middleton-in-Teesdale, County Durham, on 12 June 1800. Their descendants are fairly well documented, but I would like to trace John’s forebears if I can.

The only thing I have to work with now is a book my great grandmother filled out when I was born but it doesn't say much about our Hodgson Family. If you or anyone can help me with this in anyway please let me know.

Christopher Hodgson c.hodgson50@ntlworld.com
I have traced my direct Hodgson line to Robert Hodgson (b1805 in South Shields, Co Durham). His parents were Christopher Hodgson (b. 1772) in Haughton-Le-Skerne and Hannah Mitcheson (b. 1771) in Norton, Co. Durham. Christopher's father was also Christopher and that's where the trail runs cold! Any info on the Hodgsons in Haughton-Le-Skerne greatly appreciated.

Our clan of Hodgsons originated from Thomas Hodgson, Isle of Man, born 1805. There are hundreds of descendants of Thomas, living in America since the 1840s. Rumor established that Thomas’ father, John Thomas Hodgson, went to the Isle of Man from a place called “Felldyke” in Cumbria. We searched in vain for a long time for Felldyke before Google came along, then, presto. If anybody out there has information about this John Hodgson, or his ancestors from this region, please let us know.

Claude Hodgson rhodgn@bellsouth.net
My great-great-grandfather was Richard Hodgson, born in Barmston,Yorkshire, England on 25 July 1797. He lost his parents during a plague when he was very young. He could only remember a brother, John. There were other children but do not know what happened to them after the death of the parents. Richard married Jane Wright on 17 June 1820. Richard was a foreman on the estate of Lord Greyson. They came to America in 1845 and eventually settled in Wisconsin. We are trying to find out the names of Richard's parents. Hopefully, there is someone in England who may have this information.

Daphne A. Hodgson pepket@hvc.rr.com
I am just beginning what I find to be a convoluted search. My father Richard Hodgson was born in 1922 in the Blackburn/Manchester area in England. He had two brothers, Frederick (older) and John (younger). His parents were Frederick Hodgson, one of supposedly 23 born in the Lake District and Ann (née Cullimore) Hodgson from County Cork, Ireland. I've been lead to believe my grandfather was in royal military service, possibly the army. The family immigrated to the USA in 1924 and settled in New York. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

David Hodgson daevhodgson@gmail.com
I am the son of Darryl Hodgson (born 1950), his sister is Una Claire Hodgson (born 1940) both born in Natal, South Africa. Their parents are Robert "Chum" William Hodgson (born 30 July 1908/6) and Marian Hodgson (nee White b.1910). Robert had no brothers, his sisters are Eileen (married McGrath) and Elizabeth "Peggy" (married Simms). Their father William Hodgson owned a stage coach horse transport business (W Hodgson Transport)in Mooi River in Natal. That is about all I know of my Hodgson line, I do not know when or who first came to South Africa. It also seems Una Claire Hodgson had a daughter Ann Hodgson in April 1965 in Pretoria and immediately gave her up for adoption. She posted on this site.

My great-great-grandfather Tyson Hodgson was born in Sedgefield, County Durham in 1850. His parents were Mary Ann Peacock and a John Hodgson, son of Thomas. John unfortunately died a year later in 1851. From his death certificate I estimate his birth year as 1822. Apart from this scant information, I've drawn a blank in finding the family either locally in Durham, neighbouring Yorkshire or even Cumberland/Westmorland. Any pointers would be appreciated

I am interested in any information available about the descendants of Ralph Hodgson and Margaret Harland. The Harland's were apparently the family that owned the shipbuilding company, Harland and Wolff Shipyards, in Belfast, which built the "Titanic". In any case, Ralph and Margaret had a son, Harland Hodgson, who married Elizabeth Coop Ashton. They had a son, Henry, who was born on 11 Sep 1847 in Holbeck (nr. Leeds, Yorkshire) and died 30 Oct 1917. He married Mary Bannister (born 24 Jan 1851/52; d. April, 1911/12). One of their children was my grandfather, Henry Hodgson (born 18 Sep 1877). Henry owned several pubs, among which were the Cudworth Hotel (Cudworth), the Railway Hotel (Wombwell), the Station Inn (Wombwell) and the Crown Inn (West Mountain).
John Hodgson jajahod88@comcast.net
My great-great-great grandfather was Christopher Hodgson born in 1808. He moved to Nova Scotia, Canada, and his descendants are William Hodgson, Henry B. Hodgson, Leroy Hodgson, and my father John Ross Hodgson. Henry B. Hodgson migrated to Maine 1891 in the area of Somerset and later moved to Byron, Oxford County, Maine. Based on the year of his birth, Christopher's father may be either Mark Hodgson or Christopher Hodgson.
John Hodgson xhoni@yahoo.com
My Hodgson forebears come from Wallsend on Tyneside, and worked in the shipyards. My great-grandfather Charles Hodgson (married in Wallsend aged 25 in 1888) came from Norton-on-Tees, where his father George was a publican. This George Hodgson may have been born in Eppleby, North Yorkshire in 1837, marrying Mary Wharton in Norton in 1860, but my information is uncertain. The family appears to have moved from rural Eppleby to industrial Teesside and Tyneside, following the job opportunities of the industrial revolution. I would be interested to hear from anybody with knowledge of this branch of the family.

New Zealand has many Hodgson families, my own dates back to 1851 when my great grandfather Twentyman Hodgson arrived, in Lyttelton Harbour near the very young Christchurch settlement on the sailing ship Cressy from Raithby, in Lincolnshire. When aged 21 Twentyman married Sarah Ann Pattrich, aged 22, on 1 August 1876 at Wesley Church, Loburn, near Christchurch. He was a drover. (There was another Twentyman Hodgson about in Canterbury about that time.) Twentyman and Sarah had six children: Lucy, Bertie Lennox, Millicent, Muriel, Stanlet Anthony, and Pearl. My grandfather, Stanley Anthony H. married Grace Elizabeth Craw and they had four children, Muriel, Clarence W, Robert Stanley Lennox and Sylvia.
