Hello brummiejan, No I haven't tried to contact them, unless they are people who have can you tell me who they are so I could discount them or contact them? Thanks!

When I lived in Cumbria,I was very surprised to find that the name Hodgson was pronounced HOCHON.
Not far from Cumbria to the North East & may be worth checking out.

Yes Patchem - top one

Fathers name was on my fathers birth certificate and he was listed as a merchant mariner and I believe that he would not need to be actually present at childs registration. He may have been at sea!
