Hi all, I'm flogging on, trying to update details on Family Tree Maker Programme, and have realised I've lost a fair bit of information on my DODD family line when my computer crashed last year. (I've learned, tho, and now use an external memory stick to back up the file), but need to re-find my info. I would welcome any additional details on this line. Thomas Dodd (famous coxswain of the Hoylake Lifeboat), (my second cousin 3 x removed), was born abt. 1857 in Liverpool, son of Peter Dodd and Alice Hughes (married where and when?). Peter Dodd died very soon after Thomas' birth in an accident in Liverpool. Alice Hughes was the daughter of Richard Hughes and Nancy (Anne) Silcock. Her sister Jane Silcock is my 3 x gt. grandmother. Richard Hughes is also my 3 x gt. granduncle. (It's a close family!!) Anyhow, my 2 x great aunt Mary Jane Sherlock married her second cousin Thomas Dodd on 25 April 1879 in Holy Trinity, Hoylake, and had eight children that I know of, all born Hoose/Hoylake, Wirral. Alice Margaret Dodd ca 1880 Evelyn E. Dodd ca 1882 Henrietta Dodd ca 1886 Martha Amy Dodd ca 1887 Arthur T. Dodd ca 1888 Wilhelmina Dodd ca 1890 Nany Dodd ca 1893 Harold Walter Dodd ca 1900 I think that Mary Jane Dodd died about 1899, and Thomas Dodd re-married twice more. There should be another child as he had nine in total. I have a newspaper report of his death and funeral in 1916. Any additional details would be appreciated, and it would be great to hear from anyone researching/descended from this family. Best regards, Yvonne

Yvonne, I think I helped you last year with this, happy to again if you don't get help from others. A bit snowed under myself at the moment. Would help if you replied with specific lookups you need without the narrative, save me time?

Hi Yvonne >Peter Dodd and Alice Hughes (married where and when?). I have it as 30 December 1855 in Liverpool St Peter. >Peter Dodd died very soon after Thomas' birth in an accident in Liverpool. I have his burial 15 February 1857 in Bidston St Oswald. >Nany Dodd ca 1893 Ida Nannie DODD b1892 (Cheshire BMD) >Harold Walter Dodd ca 1900 Confirmed as 1900 (Cheshire BMD) >I think that Mary Jane Dodd died about 1899 According to Hoylake Holy Trinity MI's she died on 4 August 1898 >Thomas Dodd re-married twice more. There should be another child as he > >had nine in total. Can't help with any of this, I'm afraid, other than to comment that Thomas is shown as married in 1901 but no wife with him in the Census.
