[GSH]

Hi;  Looking for death of Albert Hodder, printer's compositor. Died between 1895 -1909 believed near Bradford. He was born 1852, Chard, Somerset. Married to Elizabeth Lucretia Lucas, 1872, Hereford.   They had six children: Albert Llewellyn, Clara, George,Walter,Lilian,Mabel and Charles.

Accidental death reported in (unknown) newspaper "due to falling from rocking chair after drinking beer." (News clipping contains neither date nor name of newspaper.  Poor GGrandpa...what a way to go!)

Would appreciate any help re: dates and sources of newspaper archives...thank you,

Geoff

This looks like him on Free BMD

December quarter 1912
Albert Hodder 61 yrs Bradford Vol 9b pg 178

You could try:

or
http://www.bradford.gov.uk/information_and_communication/library_and_information_services/libraries_local_studies.htm

Perhaps they could help with the information now you have it narrowed down to a manageable timespan.

best wishes

No Alberts of the right age anywhere on freebmd within your timescale

Possible newspapers -
Bradford Telegraph and Argus
Yorkshire Post
and a good local source -
Bradford City library

1901 Elizabeth Lucretia was a boarder in Aston Warwickshire with a few of her children -she is described as married but no husband present

Death Elizabeth Lucretia Hodder
Sept qtr 1909
age 59
Aston
6d 140

so it looks like Alert outlived her and moved to nother area

So if it's him then maybe you need to be looking at a later start time frame for a death look up.

Thank you Mum44, Heywood, Dave, Suz and Wendy.  The timeframe of Albert's death has now narrowed to 1901-1912 which should make newspaper searches a bit easier (if I can figure out how to do that online!)  Thanks also for the newspaper sources and the super-quick turnaround.  If I make any more progress I'll post again.

Happy Easter...

I'm a brand new member.

Albert Hodder is my direct ancestor. I'd love to trade information.

Hi Nick...good to hear from you.  Welcome to RootsChat. I think most of my (our?) Albert's background is already posted in this string.  Does your family background fit in with mine?  His parents were George Hodder and Mary Anne Singleton who married 28 February 1835, in Winsham, Chard, Somerset.  They seem to have raised there own football team  (10 kids!) 
Let me know if our details are similar. It will be interesting to see how we are connected.  We could be second cousins (or second cousins once removed depending on your relationship to Albert.)

I am always amazed at what the other members of RootsChat can come up with when I send in my questions.  As you can see, the details are fantastic.

By the way, I'm in Canada...where in the world are you?

Looking forward to your reply,

Geoff Hodder
