Hi there
I need help from a pair of fresh eyes to see if I am going totally GA GA
I am tracking a Jonas Hodgson born 1819 Leeds basket maker info from wedding certificate of my gg grandfather
there is an ancestral file on the IGI
His parents
John Hodgson born 1795 Yorkshire married a Johannah either Peacock or Hirst born 1798
I ordered the death certificate for a Johannah Hodgson on it her spouse John a school master (my John was a mere Basket Maker) and the reporter was a Mary Peacock so I am thinking it must be Hirst he married (her father called Jonas too)
1841 census mothers name Hannah and 8 children Jonas basket maker and son John basket maker
1851 John wife is now Ann and another child born 1844 her DOB is abt 1801 son John Basket maker
so that would make her in her 50,s when she had the child if it is the same woman Hannah or Johannah
I know they got the names wrong sometimes and dates this is driving me nuts!! could he of remarried
or am I putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5?? or am I tracking wrong woman
second opion appreciated
thanks in advance
