Find Ancestors

Howdy!..
Please could someone look up a John Hodges in the 1861 Census?. I believe he may of married in Portsea sometime in the early 1850's.
Possible daughter Elizabeth Emma Hodges born 1858 Portsea.
Also so possbile son John born 1856 Portsea. Maybe others.
There are a number of marriages around this time for a John Hodges in Portsea..but I can't figure which one is the one im after.
Wifes name maybe Ann....but there are a couple of those.
So the only way to find which one im after is one who has a daughter named Elizabeth born 1858

Births Mar 1858
Hodges Elizabeth Emma Portsea 2b 346

I believe Elizabeth is my Grt Grandmother on my fathers side.

This should give me the one I'm looking for.

Cheers in Adavance! :)

Hi Julie, thanks for repling.

I got Elizabeths name form her sons birth cert.
I don't recall how I came by her fathers name.

I have lots of info in files, but not sure where it all came from. Not sure even how I know she had a brother John!

But, I know she married a James William Johnston in 1878.
Hence how i know how old she is and where born.

I had a feeling her mothers name was Ann..possible Hardman..or Hardiman...but again there are a number of John Hodges who married women with the forename Ann...So I wasn't sure which one it was.
Unless the others have children named Elizabeth and John..then Im in a pickle...lol :)

Ok give me a couple of mins and i'll see what i can find

So was after a marriage where there was a child named Elizabeth who was born 1858..soooo
1861 she would be 3.
i knew where she was born Portsea...so its a case of cros matching names dates and places to find who, where, etc.
I knew( dont know how) she had a brother John.. Born 2 years ealier in Portsea....So assumed the marriage was in Portsea around early 1850's, fathers surname Hodges..So cross referenced with those marriages around that time in Portsea where the fathers surname was Hodges. And there was..but a few with the name John...so..as sons ( borthers) name was John..then John Hogdes maybe her father. so....etc etc. Just some common sence and cross referenceing. Works rather well. But I do have some actual facts mixed in :)

looking I see the name George there also..GREAT!..i had also a feeling there was a George also..I believe maybe Johns brother.! ( her fathers)..born 1818?
So good chance her grandfathers name maybe George!..good stuff!.. :) All coming together!.

Yes!..that makes the George birth 1818!...as it says he's 43....wow!..lol... :) All my time cross referencing seems to work well...lol..it certainly confirms my thoughts. :)

I think you'll be best to get Elizabeth's B/C for Mums maiden name, as i was trying to cross ref so bits but nothing is jumping out

Though the marriage on the FreeBMD site has 2 Ann's Ancestry on has 1 Ann in the qtr and it Ann Hardman

I believe it to be Hardman..or Hardiman..

Or Ann Stephenson

Marriages Dec 1853
Hodges John Hastings Portsea 2b 662
Stephenson Ann Portsea 2b 662

This is the other possbile

But if they dont have a daughter name Elizabeth born 1858..then the other is correct!.. :)

God this is confusing lol

Now when i click on the image on ancestry for Ann Hardman she wasn't there

So i look in the qtrs an she is Ann Hardiman

But i still think you'll need Elizabeths B/C to know for sure

Marriages Sep 1854
Hodges John William Portsea 2b 576
HARDIMAN Ann Portsea 2b 576
Hardman Ann Portsea 2b 576

This is the one I think is correct!

And its looking good! :)

Marriages Dec 1853
Hodges John Hastings Portsea 2b 662
Stephenson Ann Portsea 2b 662

If this one doesnt have a daugther named Elizabeth born 1858....then the other is correct!

But these could be cousins....possibly...

Who was the Witness on Elizabeth's marriage & what was her dads occupation

Also do yo have Elizabeth on the 1871 &81 as i can't see her..then on the 1891 she says she was born in Portmouth

Sorry don't have the marriage cert.

John William Johnston & Elizabeth Emma Hodges appear on their sons birth cert as parents.
