Thanks to those of you who replied to my Hodgetts question. Country wide it is not a common name, the trouble is that about 90% of people with the name came from Worcestershire and the area south and west of Birmingham. So the families are almost common in that area. For anyone else interested in the name I have added to the small amount I had on my website and most of what I have is now there. Note that some of it requires checking. www.wedmore.org.uk/stone/jones/hodgetts.htm Regards, Geoff Geoffrey T.
