Hi Jaxy
I'm new to Roots Web - happened to notice your search for ancient Hodges! I'm Doug Hodge & have done quite a bit of research into the family. I note that Selina mentions that your William (b 1842) was the son of William Hodge b 1816. This William was my great great grandfather. He married Mary Edwards from Dry Drayton in 1840. Thay had seven children. As you have heard he died in 1885. Mary died in 1895. Your William had a brother called Edwin b 1853. Edwin moved from Great Gransden to Radlet in Hertfordshire to become a metropolitan police officer - his son Silas Edwin was my grandfather.
Back to William b 1816. Selina was spot on - William was the son of William (yet another one!) b 1769 eldest of 5 children of William (!) Hodge & Elizabeth (nee Staffford). He married Dinah Toms in 1795. Dinah died in 1709 & they had no children. He then married Edith Wagstaff in on 5th December 1813. William & Elizabeth were married in 1768. William was born in 1741 one of 6 children of Mark Hodge & Bridget Sergisson. Mark & Bridget married in 1733. Mark was the village wheelwright & was the son of John & Anne Hodge. John was also a wheelwright as was his father John (we believe he may have known Oliver Cromwell who lived just up the road in Huntingdon where he was MP). Mark was born on 4th November 1706 & died in 1760. Bridget died on 20th December 1782. We're not sure where Bridget came from but there may be a Scandinavian connection.
Hope this helps
