I stand corrected it is HER sister

but  the White tree you have posted up Annie does not  show a  sister Elizabeth Charlotte, to the Charlotte Elizabeth who married a Hagger

 Elizabeth Charlottes was the name of the mother of the child Beata Theodosia Hodgson born in Sydney to Robert Francis Hodgson?

I'm confused too Jenn ;)

The JC White and MRS Hagger match :-\

To have one named Charlotte Elizabeth and another Elizabeth Charlotte is very puzzling as well
I'm not sure what to think!

Adding a note of no real help...But  :D

The "Theodosia" being the second given name of the child, is obviously a gesture towards the mother in the family tree "Theordora"

Ah well, if madraykin has evidence that his ROBERT FRANCIS HODGSON died in 1874 in UK, we simply have a co-incidence of names and occuptions I guess.

(Three of them, if you include the QLD man!! who was also a seafarer, born Eng. )

It would be interesting to know what his evidence is :D

Hi All,

What excellent work - and really interesting sources there.

A bit of a shame my ancestor didn't have all this lovely sounding property in Australia!

I'm lucky that we know an awful lot about our Captain Robert - we have numerous diaries that he wrote while at sea, and all of his mariner's certificates, plus a death certificate listing him as a Master Mariner (although with these coincidences I'm almost convinced to look again!). If only we could get a little more info on exactly where the Aus RFH was born!

Thanks so much for chasing my little mystery guys!

Ah - he's also a lot older. That death notice has him aged 53, which would put his birth around 1818.

My GGG Grandfather was an 1830 child!

That death notice has him aged 53,MADRAYKIN

That is the QLD one.

He died JUNE 1871
(see posting #6 ).

The NSW Probate package one lists a death date of NOV. 1871
(see posting #1)
