Im sure this is a second or even possibly a third marriage, as i cant find an Elizabeth Hodges marrying a George Capper..so...?

Im sure they are all born Portsea

Hi Elizabeth,

How old is the Elizabeth on the 1881 census?

The one bearing children in 1813 would be pretty old in 1881

Do you think these children were all born in Portsea?

Ok..update.

Possbile other siblings.

Elizabeth 1816, William 1821, Martha 1822, James 1823, Hannah 1833.

Though I think the Elizabeth should be 1813.

Really looking for possible parents of :

Elizabeth Hodges 1813, George Hodges 1818, John Hodges 1829.
I am (sure) assuming they are siblings.
George was visiting or staying with Elizabeth in the 1881 cenus with possbile second husband George Capper.

Living at, 16 Queens Cottages, East Ferry Rd, Poplar, London, in 1881 census.

John Hodges had a son John born 1855 and daughter Elizabeth born 1858. Again Portsea
John was a butcher and his son looks to have followed him into the trade.

Im sure there must be more siblings because of the age gap between George and John.

Any help would be great.
Cheers!

Hi Elizabeth,

Need to look at this to see if theres anything there..

Many thanks for your in put..all help most welcome and appreciated.

There is no marriage for an Elizabeth Hodges before 1837.

So who is the daddy of Hannah & John ?!!

Ann Hardiman is conected to the Meetyard name.
Very rare here in UK...
And looks like they have relations in the US.
Im awaiting confirmation of link to the US Meetyards.

They say if I have a Meetyard in the family...then its 99% chance we are related.

Katherine Meetyard would be my Grt Grt Grt Grandmother..I think....lol.

:)

John married a Ann Hardiman in 1854.
They were living at 20 Hertford St, in Portsea.

Getting the marriage cert would help I know...but finances and very limited...these damn perscriptions cost a bomb and I'm not working at the moment.

Many Thank Ericthered :0

Interesting.....looks like Elizabeth was widowed by then....I know John was born around 1828 1830..lol..
looks like slap bang in the middle..:)
Possibley late 1829 and register 1830...

GREAT STUFF!

Cheers!

Shame It doesnt confirm the siblings..but it does give me something more to to on.

Thanks!

Paul

What else do you know about John?

Did he marry? If so, what info does the cert give about his father?

?

Name: John Hodges
Age: 12
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1829
Gender: Male
Where born: Hampshire, England

Civil Parish: Portsea Town
Hundred: Portsmouth Borough
County/Island: Hampshire
Country: England

Registration district: Portsea Island
Sub registration district: Kingston and Landport
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members: Name Age
William Gribble 45
Elizabeth Gribble 40
Elizabeth Hodges 50
John Hodges 12

Elizabeth I believe married a George Capper...but was married before this as I can't find a George Capper marrying an Elizabeth Hodges..so her surname may have been different at time of marriage meaning a possible second marriage.

I had found her living in London with George with a George Hodges visiting. He is down as brother in law in 1881 census.

Hi

Please could someone look up a John Hodges living in Portsea
in the 1841 census?

He was born 1830( possible 1828) I believe, so he will be 11..
Hoping he will have sister Elizabeth and brother George.
Elizabeth born 1813 and brother george born 1818.
Though with their ages they may not be at home in 1841.
But he may have other siblings.

Possible parents Henry & Elizabeth...but unsure.

I am hoping to confirm John had sister Elizabeth and brother George. This wil confrim a lot of things for me..and really help sort my tree.

Many thanks in advance.
Regards

Paul
