  Hi Al b, Do you have marriage deatails now of Edward and Sarah? Is it likely that Jnr Hodges is William so maybe Sarahs son before she married Edward


                     regards cheryle.f

I spent ages looking for him but like Ambly no luck,  so this is the only thing i can come up with.

[cheryle.f]

   I would like Ambly to have a look at this and and throw in thoughts on it.  I may be barking up the wrong  tree  here.......

    1839  Dorchester & C  Oct Nov Dec 1839

    Sarah Ann Hodges  and  William Gollop  8  05

  Maybe son of Sarah took Williams name and William Gollop called himself by his middle name?
I am still having another look for a possible marriage

  Hi Alli.....do you know if Charmouth would come under Dorchester & c in 1839?


                            cheryle

   One  Step forward two steps back....there is another marriage.

    Sarah Clarke and Edward Gollop  26 Dec 1836 Charmouth

but what is important to remember is that Gollop was a very common name in Charmouth..........and why couldnt Alli find a birth for William under Parents Edward and Sarah? but could find all the other children. I had a look at the 41 Alli  and thought that the enumerator entered JNO as abbreviation for John Hodges.. What do you think? On the same page Jno is written a few times more even in an instance where the male head of house has a son but not of the same name.

                              regards cheryle

[allibaker]

the 41 certailey reads like jno(abb for john) hodger/s 6yrs.maybe its a nephew and not son william?maybe he was with relatives in 41?
just a thought

Hi Al,

Hi Cheryle and Alli

I've just got up and and see how busy you've been! 
He's a bit difficult to find 1841 isn't he? Like you I've checked  GOLL*P/ GALL*P with with Wm, William etc and the only one I found in DOrset right age certainly looked like he belonged to the house he was in....I think I even  checked for all Williams in Charmouth and have a feeling there were none at all. 

My closing thought for the day, was that he could be  one of the 2 William GOLLOPS of the right age in Honiton Devon (where Edward was from) - they do both say born in Devon but that could be an error. Maybe should follow this up  as  finding William in  1841 may lead Al back to at least one Gt Gt Gt 

Who do you think may be Edwards parents - there's a number on the IGI. I thought should  try and narrow tthem down too ..,,,,

Will get a couple of coffees under my belt first - be interesting to see what you think!   My other thought was that, if Sarah was from a different parish, William may actually have been baptised there - being as he looks like he's the eldest, Sarah may have went home to Mum for his birth?  I also thought the boy in 1841 with Ed & Sarah would likely be a nephew - can we find him later on maybe...

Cheers
