Who Were Samuel Hodkin and Ann Watkinson's Parents Please?

[derrygolagh]

Hello all

Could anyone please help me in tracing the parents of both Samuel Hodkin born 1749 in Elmton Derbyshire and his wife Ann Watkinson born 1754 in North Wingfield Derbyshire?

This couple were my 5 x great grandparents, but I am having difficulty in getting back to the previous generation.

Samuel Hodkin was a Farmer/Publican and his wife Ann Watkinson were married in Barlborough Derbyshire in 1775 and they had nine children.

They both died in Barlborough, Samuel in 1830 aged 81 and Ann in 1838 aged 84.

Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much in anticipation.

Regards.

Liz

Can't help with parents as yet but there is a will on FindMyPast for a Samuel Hodkin dated 1844 - is this your Samuel's son?

From family Search
Ann Watkinson bapt 15 Sept 1754 N Wingfield  parents William and Dorothy.

The marriage at Barlborough is between Samuel Hodkin and Ann Witkinson- could be a transcription error, however FS has another marriage at Sutton cum Duckmanton(only a few miles away) between Samuel Hodkin and Ann Watkinson on 13 March 1775.
Probably irrelevant in the scheme of things, but thought I'd let you know

FS has a marriage between William Watkinson and Dorothy Ashkey in Ashover in 1753 which may be of interest

Hello Ruth52

Thank you very much for the information, it is very much appreciated.

It looks as though the Will for Samuel Hodkin in 1844 is correct as Samuel Snr. did have a son Samuel.  I will try and take a look at that information.

Thank you for confirming the parents of Ann Watkinson as being William and Dorothy, again I will follow that up.

Also the marriage of Samuel and Ann Watkinson was the correct one in Sutton cum Duckmanton and not Barlborough as I posted.  Sorry, my mistake!!!

Once again thanks very much for your help.

you are welcome! Sorry I couldn't find anything on Samuel but don't give up. There are more experienced researchers than me who may be able to help.
