Looking to prove a link between the above families in the 1850's. In the 1861 census, William and Elizabeth Hodgetts are in Catshill with their grandson, George Wilkes. In the 1871 census George Wilkes is with John Hodgetts, again in Catshill . George is now 14, and is shown as Nephew to John - John was one of the sons of William and Elizabeth above. This suggests that George is the son of one of John's (married) sisters, but I cannot find any Hodgetts - Wilkes marriages. John had four (known) sisters, Maria, Harriet, Elizabeth and Hannah.
