The witnesses are James Hardbattle Eliza's brother and an Annie bucknall. She doesn't seem to marry into the family so she must have been a friend. I'll order the cert I think is him and see what happens! Thanks for your help!

THis is the same family on the 1881 census. Don't really know how you can be sure without parents names. Do you have birth ref to apply for his birth certificate? Are there any of these names as witnesses to marriage? Often witnesses were relatives? Sorry can't be of more help.

Dawn, This could be them, the dates tie in but how can I be sure? None of the names seem to carry down through Thomas' children so I dont know. Any suggestions please?

Found this one. Googled Foxholes and said it's Driffield. Could this be him? Different father's name. If you have any other details please let me know and I'll have another look. Only ones coming up with father Thomas are in Durham and Holy Trinity Yorks.

HI Glitter, that is him. I'm trying to find his parents but am struggling. Blanks on his marriage cert and I'm unsure of his exact birth so trying everything before I start ordering certs

Also, he is shown as living in Etton on his marriage cert. Marriage was 17.01.1885 to Eliza Hardbattle. Thomas' parents are not shown on marriage cert!!!

1891 found this one but does not help finding him on earlier census Name: Thomas Hodgson Age: 28 Estimated birth year: abt 1863 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Eliza Gender: Male Where born: Holme Upon Spalding Moor, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Burton Cherry Ecclesiastical parish: Burton Cherry Town: Burton Cherry County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Registration district: Beverley Sub-registration district: Beverley ED, institution, or vessel: 32 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Robert England 15 Arthur Hodgson 4 Charles W Hodgson 6 Eliza Hodgson 24 Mark Hodgson 2 Thomas Hodgson 28 John Kemp 15 Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 3909; Folio 57; Page 11; GSU roll: 6099019

That's about all I have. I have him in 1901 if that's any help??

Can't find any Thomas Hodgsons born Holme upon Spalding Moor. There are a few in Yorkshire but nothing that says Etton or Lund. Any idea what else in near there?

Please could someone do me a census search on: Thomas Hodgson b abt 1863 Holme on Spalding Moor I think his father may also have been Thomas Hodgson. Possibly living in Lund or Etton. Thanks
