Hello again Tati!

Thanks so much for those census results - wonderful! I presume Wm snr died before 1861..however, I would love the HODGSON entries for 1861 and 1871 if you have them ( and maybe the any of the others? )- the spelling in 1861 is more accurate than the 1851 for HODGSON - but what a name!

I just found Jane SOWERBY and Joseph PEARSON moved to sth Shields Durham ( a daughter, Margaret married James VEITCH in 1871 ) so the Pearson family should be there from about 1840.

Thanks again

hello again,

I just had a look at daughter Fannie in 1871 - says she is a widow but I found her with husband and kids in 1881....she should be Frances ROUTLEDGE who married William Senhouse ROUTLEDGE 1874.

Any idea if widow is correct?

thanks
Kiwi
