Hi I am trying to establish whether one of the Mary HODGSON burials in Bedale in 1818 and 1819 was the wife of Edward Hodgson. Edward HODGSON and Mary (nee Hutchinson) married in Bedale in 1811 and appear to have had a son Thomas in Leeds in 1812. In 1819 Edward married Anne LINDLEY in Leeds – he was a bit older than her and so I always suspected a second marriage. In the censuses, Edward was fairly consistent in stating that he was born in Bedale. He appears to have been the son of Thomas HODGSON, yeoman of Little Crakehall, but in adult life was variously a husbandman and labourer in and around Leeds. Anne LINDLEY was the sister of my 3xgreat gr’father, Thomas Lindley (1800-1882). John Lindley NRY.
