Hi--I have a Robert Neil Hodge who I am trying to trace. He was born (supposedly in Scotland ) in 1809. He joined the British East India Co. in 1823. I have the half of a Bible split with his sister at that time. Her name was Mary (Paris). In 1826, he married in Gillingham Kent to a Sarah Woodger Jury. Their first daughter was born on St. Helena in October of 1826. In 1830 he was in Edinburgh Scotland working as a shoemaker (family occupation). A second daughter was born there. In 1838 he was working for the Sydney NSW police dept as a clerk. He arrived in NSW about 1836-38. He was in Victoria, Australia when his youngest daughter married (I think about 1855). I have NO record of him or his wife after that date. It's like they disappeared. The Bible passed through their eldest daughter (Margaret Sophia Hodge who married 1. Watt, 2.Morton, 3. Johnson) and her youngest daughter to her eldest daughter-my grandmother to me My grandmother moved to Canada in 1922. Any help is welcome. Katrina Linkk
