HODGE,WEBB,DOCURA,HARRADENCE info

[bedfordshire boy]

i am looking for the parents of William Hodge born in 1842 and dying in 1917,( who was married to Deborah Webb.) I believe his fathers name was also William Hodge, but thats all i have to go on.

From the 1881 census which you can find on www.familysearch.org William Hodge, living on the Isle of Wight, age 39 born Gt Granston,sic, Hunts.

In 1851 at Gt Gransden, Hunts
William Hodge head married 35 Shoemaker b Gransden Hunts
Mary Hodge wife 35 b Cambs Drayton (Dry Drayton)
William Hodge son 9 b Gransden Hunts*
Jane Hodge dau 6 b Gransden Hunts*
Walter Hodge son 2 b Gransden Hunts

In 1841 they were married and living in Gt Gransden, but with no children, so were presumably married c1840. But I can't see an obvious marriage on Freebmd. Still working on it!**

* William and Jane were both baptised at Gt Gransden on 28 Sept 1845 according to the IGI at www.familysearch.org
**The Camdex site at http://www2.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/db/ridmars.nsf/search?OpenForm shows a marriage in 1840 in Huntingdon registration district between William Hodge and Mary Edwards. This looks to be the right marriage as on the Cambs FHS site at http://www.cfhs.org.uk/cgi-bin/baptismindex.cgi there's a Mary Edwards baptised at Dry Drayton in 1815, the daughter of William & Anne. Ideally of course you should purchase the marriage certificate, or at least William's birth cert (his birth is on www.freebmd.org.uk in the Dec quarter 1841 in Caxton registration district) which will confirm his mother's maiden name.

Hi
I am descended from the Harradence's of Bassingbourn and Litlington.  My 3 x gt grandfather was William Harradence b. 1802 in Bassingbourn, his father was John Harradence. 
Any connections do you think....?? I seem to remember Docwras somewhere along the line there, I won't know for sure until I go through all my notes!

thanks selina, im so new at this, and there is so much info to read. This  sounds right though, a William being born in 1816,  and grandsden hunts ... I need a BIG sheet of paper to put it all on..

so do u mean he..William (who married Edith) was married twice? wonder if there were children?

[Selina]

Hi jaxy,

Yes appears that the William Hodge who married Edith in 1813 had been married previously and it might have been to Dinah.

I can't see any children baptised to William and Dinah Hodge between 1795 and 1809 at Great Gransden.

Allow me to summarize.

I must have gone through the records of St Peter & St Paul, Bassingbourn, at some time. The following is taken therefrom.

We can identify nine children of Daniel Docwra[/color] and Jacaminea Winch:
1. James, christened 11 Sep 1743;
2. Elizabeth, christened 13 Oct 1745;
3. Charles, christened 28 June 1747, buried 18 Oct 1747;
4. Jackaminea, christened 8 Oct 1748, married Joseph Spalding 6 June 1774;
5. Charles, christened 15 July 1750, married Lydia Payne 16 Apr 1778, ten identifiable children;
6. Daniel, christened 19 Apr 1752, married Kezia Masters, 2 May 1774, eight identifiable children (see below);
7. Henry, christened 26 Dec 1754;
8. William, stillborn?, buried 21 Mar 1755;
9. William, christened 26 Apr 1756, buried 9 May 1756.

Daniel and Kezia's eight children were:
1. Daniel, christened 13 June 1775;
2. Edward, christened 23 Mar 1777;
3. James, christened 14 Jan 1779;
4. Jemimah, christened 11 Feb 1781;
5. Keziah, christened 23 Mar 1783;
6. Jabez, christened 27 July 1788 and Jaxy's main man;
7. Miriam, christened 27 July 1788;
8. Simeon, christened 10 May 1790.

My interest there is Elizabeth Docwra, christened 13 Oct 1745. She became entangled with Rowland Pigott, scion of Granado Pigott the squire of Abington Pigotts (which is half-way between Bassingbourn and Guilden Morden). But that's another story, subject of another thread.
