Hi to the Hodges list folks, Name: Hodge Family History: Charles Samuel Hodge ( 185? - 1950) and wife Eliza Phipps ( 185? - 196?) settled in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1903. They came from England. She had lived in a seventeenth century home named "The Roses" in the town of Borden in Kent. Charles was a cabinetmaker and left his son, Frederick (1883 -? ), in England to complete his cabinetmaker apprenticeship. Rose, their young daughter, travelled with the family in 1903 and Frederick arrived in 1904. Fred met Margaret Adeline Buckley (1879 - 1962), a hairdresser in Toronto, and the following year they were married. Margaret had three children in quick succession while the family lived in Buffalo, New York where Fred worked on home construction. Sometime in 1911 Fred left the family and headed west. Little more was heard from him after that. He sent a letter to Margaret in 1912 suggesting reconciliation and was last seen in California in 1914. Margaret Buckley Hodge and the three children, Hazel (1907-1976), Mildred (1909 - ) and F. Joseph (1910 - ) travelled back to Canada and settled with relatives near Mount Forest, Ontario. The family is still searching for him or any kin he may have fathered since his disappearance many long years ago. > Please remember that it is okay to post any information on any Hodge/Hodges/Hedge to the list. The more info we post, the more likely that we will find connections.
