My gt grandfather was Richard Hodgson bn 10.08.1834., in Sand Hutton nr. York. He married Hannah Laking eldest daughter of Wm. and Mary Laking of Kirby Knowle, Yorks., on the 6th Dec 1862. They subsequently made their home in London and all their children were born there. Their youngest daughter Margaret married my grandfather John McAuley. Are there any Lakings or Hodgsons about to whom this would connect? Would be interested to hear from you - Margaret

Hi all I know is my grandfather married Christiana Reay in Sunderland. He was Anthony Hodgson born in Deptford around 1863. I have been unable to find his parents yet.
Sorry to have taken so long to reply. Margaret Gibbs

Marriage certificate should give you his father's name and occupation, if known.

Margaret - Welcome to the boards.

The other Margaret posted her query in 2004, and won't be looking for replies here now.

You can try sending her a private message - just click on her name at the top of her post.
If she still uses the email address she registered with GR, they will notify her that she has a message from you in the system, and she may then reply.

Of course, there may be many reasons why she might not reply.

For ref

Marriages Mar 1889 (>99%)

HODGSON Anthony Sunderland 10a 720
Reay Christina Sunderland 10a 720

the cert should give you father's name if known.

I believe the Margaret who added is the OP also? as both show as Margaret Gibbs

Thanks so much for all the help. Are you one of the Hodgsons. I have only started redoing my tree. I'm the daughter of John Hodgson who was born 1900. Margaret

None of us who have replied on this thread are related to your Hodgson family, Margaret..

If you want to find Hodgson relatives, try "Search all Members Trees" under "Search" at the top of this page. Enter names of Hodgsons in your tree, and if any likely matches come up, you can try to contact the tree owners by clicking on "Find out More".

No guarantees that they'll reply, though, I'm afraid.
