Looking for Johanna Carroll (birth date circa 1870), Annie Carroll, James Carroll, Jane Gavney, and Robert Hodges (Died 1939) and daughter Sophie (Sophia) Hodges (birth circa 1885) who may have resided in the Liverpool, St. Helens area. Families could have been associated with the railroad. James Lenehan and Robert Hodges worked for the railroad between the 1880's and 1930's. Most of these people had ties to Ireland. Samuel Nevin Hodges(DOB 1-1-1887 in Cavan Co., Ireland) resided with his Aunt Annie Lenehan circa 1906 in Lancashire.

Annie Lenehan was born in Dublin c 1865 but all her children born in St Helens.
The others are proving more difficult to find.

could you let us knowif we are going in the correct direction,

Let's start with Robert Hodges you state he died in 1939. Where did he die, how old was he and do you have the death certifcate?
What information do you have on Sophie?
As has already been said you need to break your post down into smaller parts if people are going to help you.
-
Samuel Hodges in in St Helens on the 1911 census according to the index. You will have to look it up yourself as 1911 look ups are not allowed.
In 1901 Annie's husband is James listed as a labourer.
-
Google St Helens Cemetery DEceased search and then put in Lenehan you will find the burial of James, Anne and Patrick plus others in the family.

I think this may be your family, particularly with the use of Nevin as a middle name:

Additional to the information on the above site, FindMyPast has a seamans ticket (No.264957) issued to Samuel Hodges in 1845 while serving as a Coastguard Boatman at Dalkey CGS, on this his date of birth is given as 1804 in Bristol.

Thanks to all who are trying to help. Specifically I am trying to locate birth information on Johanna Carroll, sister of Annie Carroll Lenehan. Their parents were James Carroll and Jane Gavney of Ireland .(per Johanna's death certificate in USA). Johanna was also the mother of Samuel Nevin Hodges, son of Robert Hodges. I have a lot of information on the Hodges family from Ireland. I am unable to locate a marriage certificate for Robert Hodges (CoI) and Johanna Carroll(RC). Both of their names appear on the baptism certificate in County Cavan. Robert and Johanna also had a daughter Sophia born circa 1885---in Ireland we believe. But we cannot locate anything but immigration and ship's records for Sophie who also is a Hodges. Knowing that these families also spent time in Lancashire, we hoped we might locate some records there that might help. Johanna used the name Johanna Hodges upon her immigration to the US and thereafter.
Hope this clarifies things.

Martin,
Samuel Nevin Hodges DOB 1-1-1887 went to sea as a ship's boy at age 13. Do you know where I can obtain records regarding his time at sea?
