Hi Suzanne, I have a James Hodgson born 1834/5 at Sutton on the Forest I think. He is a servant in Easingwold, Yorks, in 1851 and I think he got married in 1854. Please could you see if he is around in 1861. Many thanks, Frances

Hi Frances. This look like the most likely? 1861: Wall Close House, (Looks like some kind of large house with grounds. James Hodgson abt 1837 Sutton Fareth, Yorkshire, England Head Allerton Mauleverer with Hopperton Yorkshire James is living alone in a Cottage but is down as married. He is an Agri Laborer. Suzanne

Thank you Suzanne, that certainly looks possible. The marriage I found for him in 1854 was to Elizabeth Dobson. Could you see if an Elizabeth Hodgson is in the vicinity - maybe staying with her parents??? Frances

Hi Frances Theres about 150 Elizabeth Hodgson's living in Yorkshire of right age. Id need more info to track her down. Suzanne

Only 150 eh? OK Suzanne I will see if I can find out who her parents were.

Hi Suzanne, There only look like 2 possible parents for Elizabeth :- ELIZABETH DOBSON Christening: 08 FEB 1835 Appleton Le Street, Yorkshire Father: JOHN DOBSON Mother: HANNAH Christening: 29 OCT 1837 Pickering, Yorkshire Father: ROGER DOBSON Mother: JANE What do you think? Frances

LOL.....What do think? Wellll......I hate to be a kill joy because you are obviously enjoying this family tree thing were all on but there seems to be a lot of guessing? LOL.......have you got any certificates? How on earth do you know whether you are getting the right rellies? I tried to find James in the later censuses with Elizabeth to get her age and birth area but no luck? So even if I try to find either of the Elizabeth's you found on IGI how will you know whether its the right one? I love to help if I can but I hate to think Im chasing rainbows. Must go now.....I willl look when I get another chance and if I find anything Ill PM you. Suzanne

Hi Suzanne, Just got back, thankyou for your help, I will have to obtain his birth/marriage cert which I was hoping I wouldn't have to do, as I personally can't guarantee he is part of this family, but am told that he was a cousin of my mother and her siblings. Thankyou anyway Take care Jackie
