Name: William J Hogg Age: 15 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1856 Relation: Son Father's Name: William J Hogg Mother's Name: Betsy M Hogg Gender: Male Where born: Shoreditch, London, England Civil parish: St Paul Ecclesiastical parish: St Paul County/Island: Bedfordshire Country: England Registration district: Bedford Sub-registration district: Bedford and Cardington ED, institution, or vessel: 9 Household schedule number: 50 Piece: 1544 Folio: 61 Page Number: 11 >>>>>>>>> Hi Chris, Further to the 1871 census entry that was found earlier (above): William Johnson Hogg and Betsy Maria Ling were married at Shoreditch in the January-March qtr of 1855. then the birth of a William Johnson Hogg was made in Shoreditch in the April-June quarter of 1856. If this is the correct William Johnson (or John) Hogg, could it possibly be that he gave the wrong age so that he could join the Navy? It certainly wouldn't be an isolated incident if that is what happened, it happened a great deal. Just something to ponder on? Kind regards, Jon
