smurray3061 — 2009-11-09 02:22:55Z

Are you still researching the Hodgson family? I noticed that you also have a Lister in your line. Although it is a first name,could Lister's mother have had Lister as a maiden name?
Thanks

Family Picture Album Rescued - 1800s

sug53 — 2009-10-24 04:14:53Z

Surnames: CURTIS, HODGDON, HARRIS, SHEDD (?), ORMSBY, BRIGGS, BEEGAN -- 1800s

I've recently rescued a family picture album of what I believe is the extended Littlehale family from Quincy, Massachusetts. Surnames include Curtis, Hodgdon, Harris, Shedd (?), Ormsby, Briggs and Beegan. Almost all the pictures, from tin types to cabinet photos are labeled and in really good condition. The writing is a bit difficult to read, but when comparing to census records names can be determined. I will scan pictures to share; but my goal is to return this incredible picture album to direct descendants. Please contact me at suemanz.graham@comcast.net if you are interested. I am not related to or researching this family.

James E. HODGSON, believed born Dec 1863, came to Massachusetts. Believed married Oct 1889 in England and died before this census date in Dracut MA: 12 Jan 1920, where his widow was recorded. They had 4 children between 1890 and 1899. Last son Alfred --twin-- HODGSON died in Springfield MA in Sep 1984. Looking to contact relatives for aid in ancestry research and tying together other siblings. Another sibling, Claude Lowell HODGSON, went from Lowell MA to Bay Shore NY. I hope a descendant sees this and responds.

Re: Havelock Hodgson

I have now found that all of the birth vertificate of Vincent's children show Amelia Havelock as their mother except for the one for my g-grandmother, Hannah, which shows the name Elizabeth Havelock. Elizabeth died in 1858 but I still cannot find any mention of Amelia. I'm still checking to see if they are one and the same person.

Re: Tyson Hodgson Sedgefield Durham b.1850

mintym — 2009-08-13 22:51:17Z

You're absolutely right, Graham. I noted the 'countryman' description also. Trouble is I've sent off for other death certificates without specifying an occupation and ended up with chimney sweep and allsorts!.
However, in the case of John's father, Thomas: I have found a family in York in the 1841 and 51 census where Thomas is a joiner but no sign of John (surprise, surprise) - but then it's probably a completey different Hodgson family. There are myriads of them, it seems, in the North.
Keep in touch,
Marion

Re: Tyson Hodgson Sedgefield Durham b.1850

GrahamHodgson61 — 2009-08-13 06:31:50Z

Good Morning Marion, your continued efforts and keeping me up-dated much appreciated. I agree, if John had been alive in 1851, he should have appeared on the Census - well at least somewhere! I note from his Marriage Certificate his occupation is described as a 'Countryman', OK Ag Lab to you and me, but might this have been carried over to a Death Certificate? Just a passing thought. Hoping we can keep in touch. Many thanks, Graham

Re: Tyson Hodgson Sedgefield Durham b.1850

mintym — 2009-08-12 19:59:09Z

No joy, again, Graham,
Certificate wasn't produced for John's death in 1854 because his occupation wasn't an 'ag lab'.
I'm beginning to think that Mary Ann was a widow in 1851 (especially as she's listed as 'Head' of the family) and the enumerator made a mistake listing her as "Mar".
This would mean that John would have died in 1851 - so I've got one or two more deaths in that year to apply for! - when I can afford to, that is!
Regards.
Marion

Re: Mary Ann Hodgson

dorielyn — 2009-08-10 06:29:02Z

I'd like to see what you have, please. I've never been able to confirm that Mary Ann Hodgson and Miles M. Farrar are indeed the parents of "my" ggrandfather Miles Macintosh Farrar, although I'm pretty certain. From what Miles told my father 80 years ago, he lost touch with the rest of his family when they moved west and he stayed in southern New England, although rumor had it that one of his brothers stayed in Medford, Mass. (There may have been a fued involved--he was pretty cantankerous to anyone who wasn't a cat, by all accounts.) His marriage record (to Annie L. Allen on December 25, 1871 in Richmond, Rhode Island) lists Miles and Mary Farrar as his parents, but I haven't been able to confirm his birth info. If you have anything that will help me to connect up with your line, it would be a great help.

Re: William Hodgson and Charlotte Watson

mrcoffeesmom — 2009-08-01 00:51:18Z

This is tooooooo interesting!

Peebles Township is defunct, but appears now to be the Hazelwood section of the city of Pittsburgh. It's a few miles down the Monogahela River from McKeesport.

Check this out on Google Books! Search for a title called "Report on the coal mines of the Monongahela river region from the West ..." by J. Sutton Wall. This book mentions the HODGSON MINE in Logtown, aka Brown Station (location mentioned in the obit).

I would need a gazetteer to determine whether Peebles Township and Logtown and Brown Station are one and the same. They are at least close together.

Re: William Hodgson and Charlotte Watson

mrcoffeesmom — 2009-07-31 22:03:18Z

The language on the passenger manifest calls John Watson a professor of music, and Ann and Charlotte as vocalists; the young boy William does not seem to have an occupation, although the image is very faint.

I think they came over hoping to offer education and culture. If they were entertainers, I think the manifest would have listed them as musicians or singers.

William Hodgson's obit describes Miss Watson's father as "one of the most estimable gentlemen of the vicinity." Granted, Victorian obits painted the lily, but the context could suggest that the self-made William Hodgson married a bit above his coal mining origins.

My cousin does not know how William Hodgson and Charlotte Watson are connected to our Hodgsons. He speculates that William might have been a brother of his 3g-f John Hodgson (1796-1855) who m Elizabeth Gardener (1801-1868). John Hodgson was also a coal miner who immigrated to Allegheny County. However, it appears that William Hodgson arrived at a much younger age, as our John appears in the 1851 census for Durham, England.

I know this has not led directly to the Watson and Bedle parentage, but let's keep putting our heads together. What further thoughts do you have?

Re: William Hodgson and Charlotte Watson

mrcoffeesmom — 2009-07-31 14:21:04Z

I do have the whole obit but it's a bad copy. I included all of the genealogical information in my earlier post; will try to scan the copy next week. FYI, the McKeesport Heritage Center has obits from the McKeesport Daily News from 1884 forward, indexed by year. There are also cemetery indexes.

Research note: McKeesport and Versailles Cemetery was founded in 1855 but has many persons re-interred from the older, defunct Old Ninth Avenue Cemetery. In indexes for McKeesport & Versailles Cemetery, dates for persons from Old Ninth Ave. are often dates of RE-INTERMENT, not death.

Thanks for info on the President! Are you looking at the image on ancestry.com for the Port of New York dated 12 Aug 1834? Here's how that looks to me on a nice (borrowed) screen:

John Watson 39 male Profesr of music
Ann Watson 25 female Vocalist
Charlotte Watson 17 do do [female Vocalist]
William Watson 13 male

All are shown as British subjects bound for the U.S.

If Ann was 25, she was not Charlotte's mother; of course the manifest might be incorrect, or I might not be seeing it correctly. But I think this is our Charlotte, and John is of age to be her father.

I've queried a cousin about parentage, will let you know what he says.

Re: William Hodgson and Charlotte Watson

mrcoffeesmom — 2009-07-30 02:44:43Z

Hope you are still out there! I have just located information about this William Hodgson and Charlotte Watson of McKeesport, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

Re: William Hodgson and Charlotte Watson

mrcoffeesmom — 2009-07-31 02:59:53Z

William Hodgson and Charlotte Watson are buried in section B of beautiful McKeesport & Versailles Cemetery in McKeesport, PA. The cemetery is still active and managed with pride and care. Section B is an older portion of the cemetery and visitors should be aware of their surroundings (as in many old city cemeteries).

Your Beedles are buried in lot 57 of section B, near William Hodgson and Charlotte Watson. The dates are dates of death (not burial) and come from the cemetery's website:

BEEDLE, CHARLES R. 06/06/1891 B 57
BEEDLE, EVAN SR. 04/10/1913 B 57
BEEDLE, EVANS 07/23/1915 B 57
BEEDLE, SARAH ANN 01/24/1918 B 57

Hodgsons are buried in lots 56 and 75 of section B. Right now I can't sort out exactly which section William and Charlotte are in, but here are owners of five lots in a straight line:

Lot 56 Hodgson
Lot 57 Bedell
Lot 72 Schoelder
Lot 75 Hodgson
Lot 84 Black

Nearby in lot 83 are Watson, Derflinger, and one more name (Hamilton?).

William and Charlotte have a lovely Victorian monument as well as headstones that read simply FATHER and MOTHER. One face of the monument says:

William Hodgson, Born Jan. 28th 1801, Died Sept 1st, 1885.

Another face says:

Charlotte Watson wife of William Hodgson, born Sept 22nd 1817, died July 12th 1883.

There is also an inscription dedicated "to parents."

A front-page story in the McKeesport Daily News (Sept 3, 1885) is headed "A Good Man Gone. The Funeral of the Late W. H. Hodginson." (The name Hodgson is rare in the United States and is frequently misspelled here.) I found the obituary on microfilm at the McKeesport Heritage Center, an excellent place, well run, a gold mine for family history researchers.

Excerpts from the obit:

"In the death of W. H. Hodginson the Monongahela valley loses one of its most prominent coal men...

"Deceased is of English descent and came to this country when quite young. He took up bresidence at Logtown, near Brown's station, and from mining coal he went to hauling the article to Pittsburgh. He gradually drifted into the coal business [as opposed to being a miner] and in a short time secured an interest in a mine near the place where he first commenced operations. He afterwards owned and operated the mine for a number of years, after which he purchased a mine at Rock Point...

"While at Rock Point he married Miss Watson, daughter of one of the most estimable gentlemen in the vicinity... From Rock Point the deceased moved with his family to this place [McKeesport]...

"...he bought the Hilldale mines, near Elizabeth... he moved his family to Hilldale and to the pleasant residence in which he died.

"He has three daughters living. One of them is Mrs. Dr. C. H. Black, of this city, and the others are Mrs. Mart and Mrs. Bedle. Mrs. Mart's husband was drowned some time ago and she has since been living at the residence of her father.

"The remains were brought down on the steamer Boston and interred in Versailles cemeetery at noon to-day." [Boston is another place in the McKeesport area.]

Watsons and Hodgsons are also buried near one another at Richland Cemetery in Dravosburg, just about two miles from McKeesport & Versailles Cemetery.

Several members of our family are doing Hodgson research. I might be able to figure out who William Hodgson's parents are... I need to look at other materials not currently at hand.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the info on Vincent and Amelia's marriage in St. Michael's, Bishopwearmouth. It says Amelia was of that parish. Did it give any age or where she was born?

Re: Havelock Hodgson

kaywil190 — 2009-07-22 00:08:39Z

I also found that information on Family Search. I knew that Jacob was Elizabeth's father and had hoped to find a marriage certificate for Elizabeth showing his name as her father (deceased). Instead I found a certificate for Vincent Hodgson and Amelia Havelock with no parents mentioned and the bride signed her name with an X. No help at all. I am going to order the birth certificate for Jabe, their second child to see if Amelia's name is shown as mother. The birth certificate of my g-grandmother Hannah, showed Elizabeth Havelock as her mother. If Jane's shows Amelia then Havelock"s would also. At least it is a start.

Hi again, Graham,
Just to let you know that the last death for John I applied for was Sep 1851 Stockton 24 173 and GRO got back to me that he wasn't a labourer so they didn't send me the certificate. I've now applied for a certificate for a death for John in June 1854 Stockton 10a 33.
Will let you know what comes of that.

Re: Tyson Hodgson Sedgefield Durham b.1850

mintym — 2009-07-05 08:48:26Z

Hello again, Graham,
Just to let you know that you can eliminate John Hodgson's death as being Aug 1851 (GRO XXIV p187). I sent for the death certificate and he turned out to be a 15-week old John Hodgson, living in Yarm, who died after having had diahorrea for four days.
Also eliminate GRO Jun 1853, Stockton 10a 28 - He was a 50-yr old chimney sweep living in Stockton. There's one other death in Sep 1851 (GRO 24 173) which I'm going to send for but if that fails I'll call it a day (it's getting too expensive!).
Speak to you later,
Regards
Marion

Re: Tyson Hodgson Sedgefield Durham b.1850

mintym — 2009-06-02 20:53:19Z

Thanks for your reply, Graham. It seems we have the same great-great Grandparents!! I also have a photo of Tyson and Ellen and the Middlesbrough Gazette cutting of their Golden Wedding anniversary in 1918. Tyson seems to have been a very well respected member of the Stockton/Middlesbrough community. I'm intrigued however with your reference to his son, William - I must have missed him on the census listings?. My direct line to Tyson is on my mother's side, Doreen Hodgson whose father was Tyson's son, Alfred, (he married Mary Elizabeth Wright in 1909, in Redcar, North Yorkshire). They lived all their married life in Middlesbrough. From searching the IGI and ancestry, in the past, I have no evidence of John Hodgson's roots but suspect he was one of the Cumbrian emigrants (though I'm probably totally wrong on that one. AS you say, there are lots recorded in the west and just as may in Durham and North Yorkshire.
Perhaps we'll never know. I've searched and searched for a Thomas Hodgson, joiner, but found nothing. I only know that being an ag lab John could have been anywhere on census night 1851 (even in an infirmary somewhere if, as you think, he died in that year).
I'd be grateful if you could keep me updated if you should find out any more info.
Regards
Marion Murray
PS Three years ago, I used to be assistant editor on Practical Family History magazine, based in Ramsey, Cambs. There was a Hodgson, John I think, who lived in Newcastle, who wrote a couple of articles about tracing his Hodgson family. Don't suppose he's related to you, by any chance?

Nothing for sure.
I do have a copy of some Amherst, Ma. notes from the Samuel Cooper's Almanac of 1764 which shows on 2/12/1764 the baptism of a William Hodgson s/o John and Cecilia. Precursors of from our William's line?

In the 1850 census from Allegheny County from Peebler or Ceebler Twp, it shows William as age 51 and Charlotte as age 32 with 5 children including Sarah Ann. The interesting thing tho is that two doors down lives a Sarah Watson age 52 born England, John Watson age 27 born Eng. and a Margaret age 10 born Pa. Coincidental names or maybe a mother?? I didn't see these Watsons in the census pages for William thereafter.

Re: William Hodgson and Charlotte Watson

rrtrrt95603 — 2009-07-31 03:34:09Z

That cemetery is very nice. I visited it 3 years ago and took photos of all the Beedles and Watson and Hodgson monuments I could find. Do you have a copy of the entire obit? I find a Charlotte Watson of the correct age immigrating to the US in 1834 on the ship President. The father is listed as John, the mother is almost unreadable. It would be great if you could find who were the parents of these folk!

Re: Havelock Hodgson

The only information is that already given. The Parish could be anywhere within the Bishopwearmouth area of Sunderland. Sundeland is divided by the river wear, with Monkwearmouth to the North, and Bishopwearmouth to the South. I cannot find a baptism for either of these two in Sunderland. The census, shows the ages of Vincent and Elizabeth, but this may be incorrect, as they were told to round the ages down, to the nearest five years. On the other hand, Vincent is aged 33, so they may ave put their exact ages. The census shows them living at St. Hylton. I think this is a mistake, and has been incorrectly transcribed. It should, I believe, be South Hylton.

In 1841, at the date of the census, Vincent and Elizabeth were living in Bishopwearmouth.

William Hodgson Dufton England

chodgson7451 — 2009-06-02 02:03:22Z

My husband is a direct descendant of William Hodgson from the Cumbria area. William Hodgson was born in Dufton, England in 1807 (christened 4/24/1807) child of William Sr. (born 1780) and Sarah Nicholson Hodgson. He had 5 other siblings. William Hodgson (1807) later settled in Ashe County, North Carolina, USA before 1846. He married Sarah Perkins 2/25/1846 in Ashe County, NC. One of their sons was Tomas Watts Hodgson of Pine Swamp, Ashe County, NC. Do you have any information about these Hodgson's? Does anyone know when William came to the USA? I would appreciate any information you may have. Thank you.

Good Morning Marion, and thanks again for keeping in touch - just realised that you'd also replied at the beginning of last month, sadly I missed the notification from Ancestry.

Firstly, the details with regard to John's death very much appreciated, sorry that you've gone to such great expense. Should your third GRO request prove positive, I'd very much like a copy and would happily reimburse you for the cost. Will await your advice.

As for John's father Thomas, I too have drawn a blank in the Census, you'd have thought a Joiner wouldn't be too hard to 'nail down', although will keep on trying.

Tyson's son William, my direct line is usually shown as George or George W., sorry for any confusion!

The information with regard to Tyson's Golden Anniversary of great interest, this may be the source of my photograph. Will have to make a trip to Middlesbrough and see if I can find a copy in the archives.

Actually in Middlesbrough Saturday morning, making a photographic record of the various homes Tyson and (George) William lived in. There's a lot of further redevelopment planned and didn't want to miss the opportunity to capture, in particular Tyson's last residence, Diamond Road.

The John Hodgson you mention in Newcastle', is as far as I'm aware unrelated. My own Grandfather, George Tyson would appear to have left home to join the Army as a young man, and there is no mention in the family of any further contact, save for meeting a sister in Southampton in the late 1950's - I'm really starting with a blank canvas!

Thanks once again for keeping in touch and apologies for not responding sooner. Should I come across anything further of interest, I will of course keep you posted.

Kind Regards

Good Morning Marion, and thank you for taking time to reply to my post - always a good start to the day to receive a new lead! Sounds as if your trip to Sedgefield was a great experience. Out and about in North Yorkshire myself last weekend, although further south on the trail of Tyson's son William and his wife's family, but that's another story.

Yes, had found Tyson in Middlesbrough with the Roddy's, or as you've corrected me, Boddy. As for John's death, you will have seen there are no Hodgson graves left marked in Sedgefield Churchyard, but from the Parish Registers John's burial is recorded as of the 18th August 1851. The GRO index is Stockton XX1V 187, July, August & September 1851. Hope this helps.

Sadly, I'm still no further forward in finding John prior to 1851. Have a copy of his Marriage Certificate to Mary Ann Peacock in 1850, which shows his father as Thomas, a Joiner, but have been unable to confirm the family via the Census. I believe John may have been born at Sedgefield in 1822, but the Parish Register entry is incomplete.

In general, the Hodgson name is quite common in the Durham/North Yorkshire area, although there would appear to be two distinct branches. Those to the West having migrated from Cumbria (via Ireland and the Norse countries), whereas I believe (hope) John's route is more direct, there having been Hodgson landowners in the Sedgefield area right up to the 1700's, when they sold out to current estate owners, the decedents of Lord Eldon.

Hoping we can remain in contact, always happy to share any information - do have a photograph of Tyson and his wife Ellen (Sanderson), but not sure if that's of interest to yourself. Thanks again.

Kind Regards

Information on Hodgson & a query

Rushroo73 — 2009-08-07 13:12:08Z

Hello all, please note that i have been researching my family - Gatenby - they hail from yorkshire more specifically Egton and Whitby areas. Anyway my Great Grandfather was William Hodgson Gatenby born 1885 baptised Guisborough in Yorkshire- i have NO idea why he was given this middle name . i assume it was because there was a lady of unknown first name and last name of Hodgson married to Gatenby previously but my research has not found one.
If anyone has information on female Hodgson married to a Gatenby from this area please advise.

IN ADDITION> i think that you Hodgsons would enjoy looking at the following website, i relates to Egton in Yorkshire and the beginnings of the Hodgson name (along with others) in Egton Parish in Yorkshire. Please note that this document is over 220 pages long and therefore please do not print it entirely.

i hope its of help to someone, best regards
Wendy

My Dad was Thomas Hodgson, born in Kaleida, Manitoba, Canada on april 9, l898. Deceased. We are having difficulty tracing his background, since there seems to be a Clark(e) tangled up in there somewhere. I can find a Hodgson/Clarke(female) relationship, but not sure that is the right one
