Can anyone help please. Im looking for the wife(Charlotte ?) of Edward Hodges b 1833 Newington Surrey. Census information shows that he lived in Brighton and that his wife was born in Brighton Sussex 1836c. I have found a marriage entry in 1854 Vol 2b Page 290 that fits even with the birth of their children George 1855 & Charlotte 1860 . There are 3 names on the mariage entry

William Attree 1854 Jun -Sep Brighton Sussex

Edward Hodges 1854 " " "

Eglah Smith 1854 " " "

On checking LDS I found that William Attree married Eglah Abigil Smith.

Regards
Mike
