Derbyshire / Re: George Hodgkinson of Ashover
« on: Wednesday 14 March 18 11:58 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for your information. Yes it is very confusing when there are so many "Georges" with the same surname. All I know, from the records I have from Ashover Parish, I am descended from Edmund (Edmond ?) Hodgkinson 1667-1748 and Anne Nightingale  1676-1767. Their daughter Elizabeth married a James Milnes, and my 3 x Great Grandmother was descended from them. There are various spellings of the surname Milnes which also makes things a bit difficult. Sometimes they are Milns, and various other spellings.

Hi Marp and MalcomH, George Hodgkinson of Ashover is my 8 x Great grandfather. I am descended through his son Edmond (Edmund) 1667-1748 and Anne Nightingale 1676-1767. Although I am in Aust. I have travelled to Ashover 4 times, and my next visit is this Sept. I was quite interested to read that George H may have actually come from Tideswell ( where by chance we have already booked into a B & B !!) I am interested in the fact that the Hodgkinsons may be connected to Sir Joseph Banks as his family name was originally Hodgkinsons, until changed because of an inheritance. Bearing in mind that Banks did have a home at Ashover (Overton Hall) I would love to learn more about the Hodgkinsons of Ashover. Thank you

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Shipping Record HIND
« on: Friday 10 February 12 13:46 GMT (UK)  »
I will certainly have a look at the Australian shipping lists, it is a possibility I guess. I never thought of that.
Joseph Taylor's HIND's father - Joseph HIND (1815) did himself come to Australia in 1852, leaving his wife and 5 children, including the young Joseph T HIND behind in England. I have a record of him arriving in 1852. He was never heard of again, and is believed to have gone to the goldfields in Victoria, where he died, although no burial records can be found. His widow in England later re-married, in 1865.

As to the "honeymoon theory", I think that was highly unlikely, they were not wealthy people at all.
However, there is a record of Joseph Taylor Hind's nephew, Henry(Harry) Kenyon  Hind (b 1866), his wife Elizabeth and 2 daughter, Constance & Doris, travelling to NZ on board the "Gothic" from England in 1901, but they too were back in England at the time of the 1911 Census.
Maybe this was the one time my grandmother got confused when writing up her story, and mistakenly confused that journey, but I find it highly unlikely, as their trip took place some 20 years after her father's journey that she referred to.

No, it wasn't a letter, just amongst things she wrote down about her early life in England and later in Australia in the early 1900's. She could have got it wrong, but everything else she mentioned has all proved to be correct, because although she was old when she wrote it, her mind was still as "sharp as a tack".

To answer your questions . 1. I am only going by something my grandmother wrote that 'her parents went to NZ to visit friends and maybe to stay, but came home"
Like you I have been unable to find any trace of the journey. Maybe my grandmother got it wrong.

2. Yes my G/grandfather Joseph Taylor Hind did die in Aust. He immigrated a few years after the death of his wife Esther which occurred in 1906 in England. I have all those records, but was just curious about the supposed trip to NZ when they were first married. Re the Jenkinson tree, that would the one established by a cousin (*) from Canada

New Zealand Completed Requests / Shipping Record HIND
« on: Thursday 09 February 12 12:35 GMT (UK)  »
I believe that my Great grandparents travelled to NZ sometime after they were married in England 1881, but obviously didn't stay too long as their first child was born in England in 1883.

Their names were : Joseph Taylor HIND born 1852 and Esther HIND nee Jenkinson born about 1861.

I was hoping someone with access to NZ records may be able to assist.

Thank you.

My G/grandfather's widowed sister was Susan Mettham, she owned a Fish & Game shop, situated where Marks & Spencers in Grantham now stands. Somewhere during my research, I found her Obituary in the Grantham paper - she died in 1938.

Following my grandmother's death in 1985 in Aust, I found mention in her papers, of how she lived with her, and a very vivid description of the shop.
Susan is buried at Grantham, as are my grandmother's sisters, Annie Hind and Sarah (Sally) Pile and Sarah's baby son. I have never been to Grantham cemetery, but it is now on my "to do" list, now that I have learnt where my G/grandmother lies. Thanks to all
