Burial at Castle Eden, 1858
« on: Wednesday 27 May 09 00:18 BST (UK) »
Hi,

It's a bit of a long shot, but I am trying to untangle my Hodgsons.
Robert Hodgson was married in New Zealand in 1879 and was said to be a Bachelor, but it now looks as though he married Sarah Hepplewhite at Kelloe in 1848 (in 1851 she appears as Hanah which is probably an enumerator's transcription error).

There is a death registration in Q1 1858 for Ralph Hepplewhite Hodgson in the Easington district. The only possible birth seems to be in Q2 1857 but he turned out to be the son of Richard & Mary Hodgson of Seaham, so I would like to find the burial details, especially age and father's name.

I'm not sure when I can get to County Hall again, so if anyone can help to find the details of the burial, then I might get a better night's sleep :( :(

It would also help to narrow down the time when he (with or without his family) emigrated.

Regards,
Colin
