My family of HODGETTS were Worcestershire farmers. Gt Grandfather Joseph HODGETTS b 1827 at Long Lane Farm, Halesowen, later moved to Hasbury Farm, Halesowen. My Grandfather, Charles Hodgetts b 1865 and wife Catherine Emma Homes, started his own farming career at Lodge Farm, Frankley ( where my father Ernest Homes Hodgetts was born 1893) later moving briefly to Battlefields, Bromsgrove before settling for many years at Stoke Court Farm, Stoke Prior where he was a specialist in pedigree cattle and was a cattle dealer. He died in 1937 a well-respected and and succesful man, and is buried at Bromsgrove church. I have had contact in the past with Stephen Kelsey regarding the Homes family. There continue to be several descendants of this family still farming in Worcestershire today although my branch moved into other activities. regards Elizabeth Booth (nee Hodgetts).
