Hello all,
George Dodd was my Great Grandfather on my mother’s side. My grandfather, James Binns Dodd was born 3rd October 1875 at the Britania Inn, Paradise St Bury Lancs.
I live in Sydney Australia. In 2005 I went looking for The Britania Inn. It has gone and the area is now the car park for a shopping centre.
Musicman23146, I see that music runs in the Dodd family. George Dodd’s grandfather may have played a cornet. Census records show that In 1871 George Dodd was a bugler and in 1881 he claimed to be a Professor of Music. George Bins Dodd played the violin and trumpet. My mother who was born a Dodd, played and taught the recorder.
