    Diane Alberico (née Hodgson)               domanddi@optusnet.com.au

    I am looking for missing links in my family tree. My father passed away in 1975 in New South Wales, Australia. He was born 1925 in Leeds, England. His father’s name is Charles Arthur Hodgson, from Leeds, who married Eva Adelaide Surtees from Lanchester. My Father had also been married prior to my mother, to Shirley Ann Brown, from Leichhardt, NSW Australia.


    Norman Armstrong                          nojarms@myallcoast.net.au

    I am looking for present families of my line. Barnard Hodgson and Sarah Gedling had a son John who married Elizabeth Varty. Their children were Alfred William, John Edward, Edith, Frederick and my grandfather Joseph (born 1875, married Jane Winskill). My mother Florence 1901 was born at Nord Vue Lodge Armathwaite, Cumbria. I would also like to know any of the history of Nord Vue Farm which Elizabeth ran after John died.


    Pam Atherton                                    pam-atherton@hotmail.com

    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.


    Val Atkinson (née Hodgson)                v.atkinson995@btinternrt.com 

    My Hodgson's were in Bradford until Tom Hodgson b.1850, moved to Castleford as a glassblower.  He allegedly had a small factory in Knottingley, and travelled to China to teach them to 'blow glass'.  He was born in Horton, his father Squire Hodgson, a butcher, born in Allerton.


    Paul Bartell                                       paulbarthell@yahoo.com
    My great-great-grandfather John Wilson Barthell married Luella Louise Hodgson. Her father was Robert Hodgson born in 1828 in Yorkshire, England. I would be very grateful for any information on him.


    Maryanne Bayliss                             endless.summer@xtra.co.nz

    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

    Dave Buckle                                     davebuckle@sky.com  

    I am just starting out on a voyage of discovery into my past. My Hodgsons latterly came from Morley in West Yorkshire: Maureen and Colin Herbert going back one generation, Alice and Joseph another. Who knows where I am going, or indeed what I shall find, but I am sure I will need some help along the way.

    Ernie Davis                                       ernied1@bigpond.net.au

    I believe I am descended from John Hodshon, born 1570 County Durham. His son was William Hodshon, born 1598 County Durham. His son was Anthony Hodshon, born 1633 County Durham. His son was John Hodshon, born 1670 County Durham. His son was Ralph Hodshon, born 1702 County Durham. His son was George Hodgson, born 1741 County Durham. His son was William Hodgson, born 1791 in North Shields, Northumberland. He married a Margaret, and their daughter was Margaret Hodgson, born 1827 in North Shields, Northumberland. She married Edmund Tiplady, born 1829 Yorkshire. Their Daughter Jane Tiplady (born 1850 Durham) married Samuel Wile (born 1848 Durham). Their son was Samuel Wile, born 1887 Australia. Their daughter – and my mother – Jean Wile was born in 1919 in Australia. Any further information would be most welcome.


    Lloyd Erickson                              l.erickson@shaw.ca

    My grandfather was Alfred William Hodgson.  He was born at Hunsonby and Winskill in Cumberland in 1878.  His father's name was John and his mother was Elizabeth Varty.  He had one sister, Edith, and brothers Joseph, John E, and Frederick.  I would like to find descendants of this family.


    Sharon Goodwin                                   cerris.goodwin@ntlworld.com

    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 b 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 ManQuilter, 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.


    Katharine Anne Griffiths
    (née Hodgson)      
    griffiths475@btinternet.com

    I have records dating back to a Robert Hodgson, baptised before 1570.  His son was Richard Hodgson, born 1616.  His son was Thomas Hodgson, born 1640, died 1669. He married Issabel Windor of Fieldhead. They had 3 children, 2 of whom died in infancy. The line can be followed down through their son, John, who married Alice Jackson. If anyone is from this line, I would love to hear from them.

    Mike Hall                                           mikehallpnefan@talktalk.net

    Hodgson was my grandmother's maiden name. Her family was Roman Catholic and she was raised in the Ribbleton area of Preston, Lancashire.  She was the youngest girl of thirteen children, some of whom died in infancy. Her parents were John Hodgson (born 10 Oct 1855) and Margaret.  All her siblings were christened at English Martyrs Church on Garstang Road, adjacent to where they then lived, in Ellen Street and the general area of Aqueduct Street in Preston.  John had a sister Catherine (born 22 Sep 1852).  John's father was Thomas (born 1833). I would be grateful to anyone who can expand on this information.


    Elma Hepburn (née Hodgson)            eyhepburn@telkomsa.net

    My father Thomas Hodgson was born in Scotland and come to South Africa about 38 years ago. My grandparents then later come out as well. I would really like to know more about my origins.


    Judith Hodgson Higgins                   higgins@boo.net
    I am a direct descendant of George Hodgson (born 1700/1701), father of John Hodgson (b.1731), father of Hur Hodgson (b. 1767) ... Joel Hodgson (Hodson, b. 1819), Ira Hodgson (Hodson, b. 1847), Joseph William Hodgson (Hodson, b. 1880), Marley Hodgson (b.1909). I am most interested in getting the birth information of J.W. Hodgson in Tennessee, and the father and immigrant boat information on George and his family or fellow travellers.

    Hodgson Associates may wish to know about Hodgsons who were taken prisoner during the Jacobite Rebellions. http://genforum.genealogy.com/hodgson/messages/933.html mentions Philip Hodgson (#18) and Albert Hodgson (#48) and http://www.immigrantships.net/v2/1700v2/goodspeed17161018.html mentions George Hodgson. 


    Hank Hodgin                                   hhodgin@bellsouth.net

    I am a descendent of George Hodgson who was born in 1700 or 1701 and who was married to Mary Dix Thatcher.  I would really like to know who George's parents were and where he was born.

    Alan Hodgson                                  alanhod@gmail.com

    I live in Cumbria and have been researching the family for a year or two and find that my tree is mainly centred around West Cumberland.


    Bob Hodgson (Madbury NH. USA)     rjhson@comcast.net

    My grandfather was James F. Hodgson who was born and lived in Leigh Lancashire until he immigrated to the USA in 1905. His father and grandfather were both named William Hodgson and they had a shop on Market Street in Leigh Lancashire from 1841 thru 1900. My line goes Robert, James, James, William, William, John. John was a "stone mason" in Great Driffield, Yorkshire. He is as far back as I have been able to trace my HODGSON ancestry. I would be thrilled to hear from anyone who knows anything of my English Hodgson ancestors.


    Carol Loree Hodgson                        carol0995@sbcglobal.net

    I am daughter of Lee Marion Hodgson, son of Stephen Noah Hodgson, son of Levi Hodgson, son of Jonathan Hodgson, Sr. born June 1805 in Clinton Co., Union Tsp.

Daughter Rhiann born Hannover 1989, Kieron born Hannover 1988 and Jason born Detmold 1984.


    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.

    Jeffrey D. Hodgson                       jeff8372emt@insightbb.com

    I do know that my grandfather moved to Louisville, Kentucky from Waterloo, New York and I believe his family before him came in to the US through Canada from England. If any other info is needed please ask.


    Jeffrey William Hodgson                  jhodgson@utk.edu

    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 Lennox Boyack Hodgson      johnhodgson@xtra.co.nz

    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. My father Robert Stanley Lennox H.(Bob) married my mother Mary Anne (née Boyack) and they had six children Robert Anthony Boyack (Tony), Gereald Lawrence Boyack (Gerry), Judith Elizabeth Grace, John Lennox Boyack, Gregory David and Robin Mark.

    My Hodgsons are from Co. Durham and Tyneside. In the 19th century they were master grocers and master butchers with what appears to have been either a chain or a related group of shops in Newcastle, West Rainton, East Rainton, Prudhoe and Jarrow. And possibly with links to Middleton-in-Teesdale. Any info gratefully received!


    Richard A. Hodgson                      rahmd@comcast.net

They lived in Laverton, North Yorkshire, England.  Daniel's parents were Leonard and Elizabeth Hodgson (I think Elizabeth's parents may have been from Preston, lancashire). In the 1861 census 5 children were living with them -- Arthur Preston; Daniel; Harriet Preston Calvert H.; Leonard; and Robert William as well as 5 servants. I would like to communicate with any descendants of this family who might have further information on them.

    Bruce Moorhouse                        brucemoorhouse@rogers.com

    I am researching my wife's (Shirley Hodgson) line which comes from Durham and largely the areas of Langleydale, Staindrop and Auckland. The furthest back I have got with certainty is George Hodgson, born 1704/5 St Helen Auckland. Branch lines include Arrowsmith, Sidgwick, and Wastell.


    Rebecca Morley                            rebecca.morley@ca.com

    My mother was originally born Anne Hodgson before marrying into the Morley family. She was one of five: Katherine Hodgson, John, Anne, Teresa and Terry. They all locate from the County Durham area in the UK. I would like to trace back further.


    Dominic Murray                            gidgetfrance@hotmail.com

    I am interested in finding more about the Hodgson line that was in Newcastle, but then moved down to London in the early 1800s. James Stewart Hodgson b. 1826 Hampstead, Middlesex, son of John Hodgson, esq. b. 1779 Ann Castle, Northumberland, married to Caroline born in France, son of: John Hodgson b. 1753 Newcastle, married Sarah Gale 13 Jan 1778 Newcastle.

    Kathleen Nichols                         kathleen6632@sbcglobal.net

    In 1618 Robert Hodgson was born in Warwick, England. In "June 1657 he came over the ocean to Amsterdam New York, where he was cruelly beaten and chained as a Quaker, under the government of Stuyvesant (ruled by the Dutch).” He married Rachel Alice Shatten - children Alice, Mary, and Robert. Also, in Virginia my husband’s ancestor Nathan Nichols (b. 1748, d. 1822) married in 1784 Hannah Hodgson (b. 1769) in Frederick Co. Va.. The Hodgson Home in Winchester Va. – built in 1745 – is still there.  I have stories relating to the families that lived there then and during the Civil War.  Would love to hear from anyone related – willing to share what I can or exchange data.

    I am seeking information about Andrew Hodgson (baptized about 1730) who married Margaret Cook in Slaidburn (in the West Riding of Yorkshire) on 21 Feb 1750.  They had 6 children:  Ann, John, Richard, Alice, Andrew, Margaret.  This Andrew was the son of Andrew Hodgson & Mary Thornton.  By 1759, the family was at the Crutchenber Farm near Slaidburn.

    I am tracing my family which is based around Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire. John Hodson (born 1811) married Ann Croxall (1815-1862) and their 10(?) children were born in Burton-on-Trent. They are Emma, Charles, Edwin, William, John, Ann, Ellen Olive, Charles, Fanny, Thomas Charles. Ellen Olive married Timothy Parker in USA and later migrated to Australia in 1876.

    I am descended from two Hodgson families. Firstly from Ralph of Marwood Park Wall (d 1691), via Hugh of Grafts Farm, Whorlton (d 1717), Ralph of Winston, Hugh of Winston (1705-1788), Hugh of Woolhouse Farm, Barnard Castle (1744-1816), John of Woolhouse (1775-1865), and Margaret (my great-great-grandmother) (see pdf). Secondly from John Hodgson, badger of Barnard Castle, and his son Thomas (bap 1681), also a badger of Barnard Castle; his daughter Alice married Robert Dobson in Sunderland in 1746.

    Does anyone have a link to Agnes Hodgson (1683-1742) who married George Staveley (1681- after1742) in Dent, Yorkshire on 11 June 1704? They had six children: Agnes 1705, Alice 1707, Mary 1710, George 1713, Anne 1716, John 1720, all baptised at Dent. Agnes's father is believed to be a John Hodgson. Secondly - is there anyone in the Hodgson DNA project who would like to compare their lab results with mine from the Staveley DNA project?

    I am researching the family of Christopher Pemberton Hodgson, born Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, England, in 1821. He was the son of Edward Hodgson, vicar of Rickmansworth and his wife, Charlotte Pemberton. Christopher Pemberton Hodgson was the first British Consul in Hakodate, Japan, from 1859-1860 [see G. M. Hodgson Hodgson Saga, p. 54]. Although there is quite a lot of information about him, I have been unable to find out anything much about his wife, not even her name. The British 1861 Census notes that she was born in France, but her name is simply listed as Mrs. Panberton (sic) Hodgson, Wife. I would appreciate any details about her or their daughter, Eva.
