Title: Hodgkinson Family
Post by: oldenuf on Thursday 05 June 08 18:38 BST (UK)
Hello, Is there any Rootschatter out there who is related to Leonard Hodgkinson who was Senior Fourth Engineer on the Titanic and who was lost in the sinking disaster in 1912. Leonard was my Grand Uncle.

Whether she could be related I wouldn't know,but I have an Alice M Hodgkinson in my Tree born in Stoke-On-Trent on 1904.She married one of my Conway relatives a Ralph Conway.Looking at the Families on the 1901 Census,she may be a Grandaughter of Arthur Hodgkinson born in Hanley in c 1856.

Strnge how things happen isn't it William. Maybe we are related if we pursue this far enough!
