Hi again, with the parents of Nelson and Dinah possibly being a Sylvanus Hodgkins and Margaret Rafferty, Sylvanus born 6th March 1896 died September qtr 1973 Kidderminster, there is a Army record for him in 1919 aged 22 b Worcestershire in the Labour Corps, 456th Agricultural Company he was living in Stoke on Trent.
A birth on Freebmd shows a Sylvanus Hodgkins registered March qtr 1896 Ledbury 6a 421, the same reference on the GRO Index shows a SYLVANNE Hodgkins March qtr 1896 No mothers maiden name shown, which suggests he was illegitimate?

PS I can see in 1901 families in Ledbury who have occupations such as Pedlar, they record themselves as surname HODGKISS
Thank you so much for your replies
