Hi Ron, If you look at my PPP for Warwickshire, there is a section on "Online Parish Clerk" and therein you will find a list of parishes, and how and who has more data. There are also maps for each parish showing the exact location in relation to the rest of Warwickshire etc. This is taken from the book "Tracing Your Ancestors in Warwickshire" by June Watkins & Pauline Saul, and by kind permission of the Warwickshire Record Office. See http://www.hunimex.com/warwick/opc/opc.html for the master page. There is a list of smaller parishes and hamlets (http://www.hunimex.com/warwick/opc/locations.html), and Hodnell is included in that The map is on http://www.hunimex.com/warwick/opc/maps/chapel_ascote.jpg with Hodnell parish being marked with an "H". As for why they were married in Bradford is anyone's guess, try looking at the marriage certificate and church register to see if this was by licence or by banns. Looking at a large scale (1 2/4 inches to a mile) modern map - the "Philips Street Atlas of Warwickshire & Coventry" I see a Hodnell manor listed just off the Banbury road about a mile south of Ladbroke Also on Multimap if you got to Ladbroke, and zoom in to almost (but not completely) maximum magnification, and move down to Chapel Ascote (Chapel Ashcote on the map) then put it on Hybrid view Hodnell is shown if you hover the white rectangle just to the right and below Chapel Ascote. The farm just to the North of Chapel Ascote on the other side of the road, is that listed as Hodnell manor in my Philips atlas. My older version shows the houses at the main road (probably the old gate houses) to be called Hodnell Cottages, but goes short of naming the area that Multimap calls Hodnell just to the South East. You may want to research the earlier occupants of Hodnell Manor - the Bourton family is listed in a Google search ! In fact if you had done a Google search on Hodnell, there was a map waiting to be found ! On the second link (after TYAIW) was http://www.british-towns.net/en/level_4_display.asp?GetL3=6839 with the village clearly shown. In fact if you toddle off down the A444 and at Coventry join the A423 as you pass Ladbroke on Google Maps you will see Hodnell clearly listed, it's probably less than 45 miles from you !
