Meath / Re: Hodgson family, Meath

Thanks Shane. According to her marriage certificate, her father was called Thomas and he was a miller. A witness to the marriage was William Hodgson. Maybe a brother.
I can't find any other records, but as you say, it may well be down to a different version of the name.
I'll keep looking.
Thanks for your help.

Meath / Hodgson family, Meath
« on: Thursday 20 August 09 16:07 BST (UK)  »
I have traced my paternal great grandmother to Meath but am struggling to find out any more about her family.
She was Emma Hodgson, born 1852.
Bapism 25th May 1852 at Newhaggard, Trim. Church of Ireland.
By1871 she was in England, working at The Ship and Royal Hotel in Lytham.
Any help/info would be appreciated.

Thanks for that. I had no idea the building was still there and, delapidated or not, will try and get a look at it before it goes.

Hello
I wonder if anyone knows anything about The SpindleMakers Arms,124 Lancaster Rd, Preston.
My family ran it for some time at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century. My great grandfather James Bramwell Dobson took it over in 1892 and was still there in the 1911 census but I think it had been a beerhouse for some time before that in the Dobson family.
Any information gratefully received.
