William HODSON'S Wives !!!
« on: Sunday 03 December 06 15:32 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

My GG Grandfather William Hodson born in Swallow around 1862 ish. Well I think he married a couple of times but cannot locate any marriage records or death records for his first wife ??? First wife was Emma & second was Jane. Can anyone help with marriage dates & maiden names etc ???

Thanks a lot

Ian

Hi Ian,

I can see a possible (perhaps!) marriage:

William Hodson to either Elizabeth Doughty or Emma Holmes
Grantham Dec 1886 7a 933

Oops - the 1st one might still be right...

I initially posted a 2nd marriage which didn't match.  :-\

Yes  i just found that one as well and looks likely William Hodson to Emma Holmes
Qtr Oct-Dec 1886 Grantham,Lincs.
This fits in with timeframe as their first daughter Maria born 1888(Checked the 1891)

Could Emma and Jane be the same person - this also needs Barkwith and Bardney to be transcriptions of the same place  :o  - as there was a burial.

21 March 1906 Cleethorpes, Jane Emma HODGSON (39). (also the different surname)

Did they have any known contact with Cleethorpes?

I'm never too happy about moving people 50-60 miles to get married just because it fits.  If you're stretching things that far, then York is just as close.

Can anyone spot an Emma HOLMES from Bardney on an earlier census?

Geoff,
I am also sceptical of the Grantham marriage. I also don't believe it is right. My family are from Louth which is only 20 miles or so from Swallow. Grantham is too far away.

Perhaps there aren't two wives. On the 1891 census Emma was the wife & in 1901 Jane was the wife. It just so happens that three children appear in 1891.
Born in 1888,1889 & 1890. Then there is a six year gap until 1896 & 1900 ish. My Great Grandmother was the 1896 girl.

I must admit I presumed Emma had died but I may be wrong.

I am revisitng this link after many months of time away from it & for some reason or another I actually have Jane as Jane Stephenson ??? This may be wrong now I look at it again.

Does this help at all ???

Thanks

Ian

Dear all,
Aswell as putting a post here I checked on another genealogy website. One of the contributors on there gave me permission to view his tree because he had William Hodson on his tree. He had William married twice to a Jane Stephenson & Emma Holmes !!!

Just putting some more quandries in there !!!!
