I have just found out that the father of William Hodgson isn't the John I thought it was! I have the following - 1861 census 100 thornton street John Hodgson, H, M, 27, Journeyman , Hull Ann , W, M, 25, , Hull 1871 census John Hodgson, H, M, 37, Grocer Master, Hull Ann , W, M, 34, , Hull the 1851 shows a John Hodgson, S, U, 17, Grocer, Hull as the son of William Hodgson at 53 Waterworks St. but I cant find the wedding for John Hodgson to Ann. (which would hopefully confirm his fathers name and give me Ann's surname.) They do have a daughter Mary A. who was born Driffield 1855. Can anyone help please? Neil.
