Hi,
I was hoping someone could help me please.
I am looking for Joseph Napoleon Dodge born Bethnal Green (1846/1852)
married to Johanna Catherine Gilbey
one son I know of Joseph Dodge Junior b. 1890
one later son Edward F Dodge born 1899.
Don't know much else - Joseph has a registered birth in 1846 but marriage certificate (1889) and death entry 1924 both equate to 1852!
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks, Mark

Be careful!
There is a Joseph Dodge, born 1845 in Buckinghamshire, also living in London.
Also a Joseph Frederick Dodge, born 1849 in Islington.
But there is the marriage:
28th January 1889, St James the Great, Bethnal Green
Joseph Napoleon Dodge (37, bachelor) to Johanna Catherine Gilbey (21, spinster)
Fathers: Joseph Dodge (deceased) and Thomas John Gilbey (deceased)

Hi all, what do we think of this family in 1891:- ?
Joseph DAVIS 40 occ Packing Case Maker b London
Kate 24 b Loughton
Nelly 2 b Shoreditch
Joseph 6 months b Loughton
Residing in Stepney

Oooh, Well done Keyboard ;D
That's GOT to be them!

Hi if the 1891 is them, then in 1901 they are still Davis with extra children Arthur 8, b Shadwell, William 5 b Shadwell, Percy 3 and Edwin 1 born East Ham, Essex

Interesting post this. Ten years on from last census the children are still "Dodge" but mother is Harris but theirs a death of a Johannah Dodge 1940 aged 78 in Lambeth.

-
wow this is very intriguing as my friend says there is something of a family mystery about Joseph Dodge.
The wife Johanna Catherine is nee Gilbey and the family believe she was a relative of Sir Walter Gilbey - the family who introduced the widespread use of the wine bottle in England - not sure if there is some link there - this family's circumstances don't appear to warrant a relationship with a Baronet!
-
Hi their is also this marriage, and I believe Joseph Davis is still around ten years from the last census?

This is getting silly!!!! Johanna C Dodge/Samuel C Harris marriage March q 1930 west ham. Death, Johanna C Harris aged 61 (1871) corresponds with forbidden census 1932 West Ham,

-
Hello - thanks for all your efforts - it is much appreciated.
A lot of questions here 2 marriages to the same man plus living under his name in an earlier census. Could Johanna have remarried again after the death of her first husband to avoid bigamy?
Plus 2 death registrations to the same woman and discrepancies with ages and places of birth all over the place
Why change original name to Davis but not the children - could it be a typo or debt/family avoidance. a mystery - definitely worthy of the name Dodge.
Thanks, Mark
-
Hi Mark, well if this death registration is correct, then possibly they waited until 1917 to finally become legitimate!

Thanks for everyone's help. This is what you helped me build if anyone is interested. Regards, Mark
Joseph Napoleon Dodge born in the east end of London in Q1 1846 son of Joseph Dodge. He married Johanna Catherine Gilbey on 28 Jan 1889 at St James the Great Church - Bethnal Green
Interestingly on his marriage certificate he states year of birth as 1852 (6 years later than his registered birth date.
Johanna Catherine Gilby (no e) was born in Loughton, Essex in 17/02/1869 – Mother Mary Gilby – no father mentioned on birth certificate although according to marriage certificate her father was Thomas John Gilbey (deceased).
In the 1891 census both Joseph and Kate were living under the surname Davis in Stepney – I couldn’t find out why they changed their name.
Children as follows
17/4/1889 Nellie Dodge, b Shoreditch, 1890 Joseph Napoleon Dodge, b Loughton,
23/3/1893 Arthur John Dodge, b Shadwell, 1897 Percy Dodge, b East Ham, Essex,
1899 Edwin F Dodge, b East Ham, Essex
Joseph’s occupation was Packing Case Maker at the London Docks.
In the 1901 census the couple are still under the name Davis although the children are baptised Dodge.
In the 1911 census Joseph has disappeared and although no new partner is present Johanna is registered with the children as Catherine Harris.
I now have 2 marriage registrations of Johanna Dodge to a Samuel C Harris
The first - Married Samuel Cecil Harris (aged 36) widower 25.07.1917 St Luke's, Ilford, Essex. Father's name given as Thomas Gilbey deceased - profession given as 'Independent'
The second Johanna Catherine Gilbey (aged 59) widow married Samuel Cecil Harris (aged 48) bachelor 10.02.1930 West Ham. Father's name given as Thomas Gilbey deceased - profession 'of no occupation'
I believe this to be the same couple although they married twice on top of the fact she was down as Mrs Harris in 1911!
I have 2 Joseph Dodges died in London – one in Q1 1915 age 65 and one in Q1 1924 aged 72. Not sure which one although I favour the second this would mean Johanna married bigamously This would again put his birth year around 1850 so he was consistent in lying about his age.
Also interesting is I have two death registrations for Johanna C Harris
The first in West Ham in 1932 – age 61
The second in Lambeth in 1940 – aged 78, so again a discrepancy in the year of her birth and why two deaths so far apart. Lots of mysteries here – definitely dodgy!

Hi Mark have you thought about the one son who is not shown as a Dodge ie Joseph b 1891 Loughton, also their is the obvious corruption of Davis ie Davies!
Also, Johanna C is not shown as Catherine but transcribed as Johannh E

MARK
Having read through your summary please note there are not 2 deaths for a Johanna C Harriis. One is for a death of a Johannah DODGE 1940 aged 78 in Lambeth.
Also in 1911 Johanna is with Samuel Harris.

Hi,
Thanks or everyone's help.
Turns out the Percy Dodge you guys found is the great Grandfather of Tracey Emin recently featured on who do you think they are - and one of the questions raised is why did Percy Davis change his name to Dodge in 1926 - well I think we found half of that answer - so something the WDYTYA researchers missed maybe?
Regards, Mark
-
any more info on this would be great as edwin f dodge was my grandfather , heard plenty of the family stories on this re gilbey and seen letters etc but all a bit of a family mystery !!! Would love to know more was joseph napoleon dodges father the greengrocer ? does it go back any furhter than him ? thanks in advance for your help , anything would be great , amazed about Tracey Emin !!!Bet she would be too!!!
One of the stories was joseph napoleons mother was french ? not sure though.

PS just re-read thread, have I missed the reference to father being a Greengrocer?
-
hi key board not really too sure about joseph napoleons father being a greengrocer , this was something that poped up on a census i looked at years ago the dates looked to be right but i am not very good at this , but remember seeing joseph napolean there as carman living with mother emily and father joseph very keen to know to clear up the stories

Hi the only way at present to clear up this apparent query is, if you are certain the Joseph Napoleon we have followed through to possibly 1911, is your Joseph, would be to purchase the birth certificate, then at least you can confirm occupation of father, and maiden name etc of mother?

Key board thank you , i will purchase the birth certificate , remind me where from ? a while ago i did purchase the marriage cert of this joseph to johanna gilbey pretty sure this is the right one , not many joseph napoleons around ! it also lines up with my grandfather edwin frederick born 1899 , thanks again for your help

Hi
Looking at the 1851 & 61 census. On the 61 census Josephs age is 14, although they have misread it as 11 thereby giving year of birth as 1850. 1851 His mother is Harriet & father John. He has siblings Henry H, John J, Ercole C & Frederick although another misreading gives the family as Gedge , Joseph & Frederick start a new page with correct name translations.They are at 5 Orange St St George the Martyr, Middlesex, England. Joseph b Shoreditch. In 1861 Henry, Joseph & Frederick remain with family although John (father) is scrubbed out (must be absent) described as commercial traveller. No age for him but birth at St Anns Westminster. I found Ercole's baptism just to link the family, can,t have been many
England, Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
Birth: 28 Feb 1844
Ercole Charles Dodge
Christening: 24 Mar 1844 CHRIST CHURCH,?HOXTON,?LONDON,?ENGLAND Parents: John Dodge,? Harriet. Christian names in those days tended to have a degree of laxity.
By the way I did this research for your cousin Sally who lives in Beer Devon.
Regards, Mark
-
hi Mark,
Thank you very much for all of this , yes Sally is my cousin i got started on this a few years ago and then didnt have the time to look any further and didnt really know how i gave everything i found out to sally and thankfully she has got you to help out with the family mysteries which fascinate us both , and now it looks even more interesting ERCOLE what a name , we have always found joseph napoleon a bit of a name considering what was going on near that time !!
Is there anymore you can find out ?
Sally and myself have been told a few bits about the family history but not much past our grandfather Edwin , his wife vera (our grandmother) used to let on more than our grandfather and we have been told bits of the history but possibly some of it what they wanted us to know !
-
Hi,
It's registrations now so you need to confirm parents of Joseph from marriage registration - I think you can order from findmypast.com - you have to buy credits from them - there are other ways - don't remember specifically.
Obviously Ercole dodge is a name to pursue if he is JNDs brother. Or get JNDs birth certificate - that will give you parents surnames. That would be a good start to confirm everything up until now. Going back further is difficult as BMDs were not registered before 1837 on any national level - that would mean visits to local family history centres - OK if you are in London - trickier if you live down here. I have probably taken it as far as possible for free - you now need another break to kick start further research. The main problem is that the family probably disappear into the seething mass of humanity of early 19th century so difficult to trace with any confidence. I will have another look at any other sources I have. Let me know if you firm up any names.
Gilbeys is another line - there is quite a lot of interest online referring to Johanna - especially from descendants of her children from second marriage. Look at the letters you have for any clues. One of her grandchildren was told she was the daughter of Sir Walter and she was raised by Gilbey grandparents although names on census do not tally with Sir Walter's parents. But with illegitimacy it is alway sgoing to be difficult.
Regards, mark
-
Hi,
I think you'll find the GRO would be less expensive than getting BMD certificates from Findmypast.

ERCOLE what a name , we have always found joseph napoleon a bit of a name considering what was going on near that time !! Is there anymore you can find out ?
Just for info. it would appear the origin of the name Ercole is Italian meaning “splendid gift" (Italian version of Hercules)
I have to say any child is a splendid gift :)
Or
Ercole meaning ‘Hera’s Glory’ mainly Italian
Obviously Ercole dodge is a name to pursue if he is JNDs brother Or
get JNDs birth certificate - that will give you parents surnames.
That would be a good start to confirm everything up until now.
Not sure if you have this info. or how accurate it is no middle name given for Ercole's brother Joseph
There’s this link families with surname of Dodge, http://www.dodgefamily.org/Genealogy/EnglishDodges/worldfile/index/ind0069.html this is the info. they have listed for Ercole Charles Dodge

I'm very interested in this topic. I think Joseph Napoleon Dodge was born on March 10, 1846 in Bishopsgate, and was the much younger brother of my great-grandmother Ellen Dodge. Their parents were Joseph Dodge (originally from Brighton, Sussex) and Mary (Wordsworth or Wadsworth) Dodge (originally from Sonning, Oxfordshire). I believe I know Joseph Napoleon and Ellen's ancestry back as far their paternal grandparents and maternal great-grandparents, at least, and I've pieced together quite a bit about the family story in the early to mid 19th century. The family seems to have used the names Dodge and Davis somewhat interchangeably as far back as about 1840 -- generally keeping the name "Dodge" on formal documents (birth and marriage records, anyway), while also frequently using "Davis" in the census (and perhaps in general daily use), probably because of their history in the late 1830s, or particular events that took place around that time. If this thread is still active, and if anyone remains interested, I'd love to hear from them and would be happy to share what I know (or at least what I believe!).
-
I'm very interested as Joseph Napoleon was my paternal grandfather, it seems your great-grandmother would have been my father's aunt possibly making us distant cousins. Would value any photos you may have of the the family and also the "family story" Look forward to more information from you.
-
Hi, Carol. It's good to hear from you. I wanted to communicate with you via personal message, but I don't seem to be able to do that (I think because I'm new to RootsChat and haven't posted enough yet). But anyway, here's a start. My great-grandmother, Ellen (Dodge) Cooper was born in Brighton in about 1834. I'm pretty sure that her parents were Joseph Dodge (born in Brighton in about 1812) and Mary (Wordsworth or Wadsworth) Dodge (born in Sonning, Oxfordshire, in about 1810). I don't know where they met, and I haven't been able to find any marriage record for them. But it seems that they lived together in Brighton from about 1830 or 1831 until about 1839 or 1840. Joseph was a cab driver, like his father (also called Joseph Dodge; he apparently came from Devon or Dorset originally, but spent most of his life in Brighton). They lost several (maybe three) sons in the 1830s, and it looks like they ran into difficult times financially. They moved to London in about 1840, apparently leaving Ellen with her grandparents in Whitchurch, Oxfordshire (where she was living, aged about 6, at the time of the 1841 census). A son, Alfred John Dodge, was born in early 1841, in Bermondsey. Around that time, the family apparently started to use the surname "Davis", at least for some purposes (for example, in the 1841 census), and Joseph was using the forename "Alfred". Another son, Richard Davis Dodge, was born at No. 2, Bakers Buildings, Bishopsgate, in December 1843. And another, Joseph Napoleon Dodge, was born at the same place in March 1846. Joseph/Alfred disappeared sometime between 1846 and 1851 (he probably died, but I've not been able to find any death record for him). In 1851, Mary (apparently then a widow) was living at 8 Cumberland Street, Shoreditch, with Ellen, Richard and Joseph; their surname was listed in the census as "Davis"; there was no indication of how she was earning a living. Her oldest son, Alfred John (known then as "John"), was in Whitchurch with his grandparents. Ellen married my great-grandfather, Charles Cooper, in Shoreditch in December 1853 (when her brother Joseph Napoleon would have been aged 7). In 1861, Mary was still at 8 Cumberland Street, working as a laundress, with Alfred John, Richard, and Joseph Napoleon, but now using the surname "Dodge". Charles and Ellen were nearby, at 10 Cumberland Street, with their first three kids. My grandfather, William Cooper, was born at 5 Plough Yard (very close to Cumberland Street) in December 1861. The Cooper family moved to St. George in the East, and then to Shadwell, between 1861 and 1871. At the time of the 1871 census, my grandfather William (aged 9) was with his grandmother Mary (who was still working as a laundress, but now using the surname "Davis") at 2 Plough Yard (very close to where he was born in 1861). Also there was Joseph Napoleon (my grandfather's uncle), then aged 24 and working as a porter (and also using the surname "Davis"). I think Mary died sometime between 1871 and 1881, but I've not been able to find any clear record of her death. By 1881, Ellen had died, Charles was living in Limehouse with their three youngest children, and my grandfather William had joined the army (the Army Hospital Corps); Joseph Napoleon was, I think, living on his own (as "Joseph Davis") in Shadwell, still working as a porter. Apparently sometime between then and when he married in 1889 he started working as a packing case maker. I suppose it's possible that he was doing that for his nephew Charles Cooper (my grandfather's older brother, born in Shoreditch in 1855), who by then had become a very successful manufacturer and seller of rat and insect poisons based in Limehouse (my great-grandfather, Charles Cooper Sr., appears to have worked as a salesman for his eldest son, Charles Jr., towards the end of his life).
Apparently Joseph Napleon and Johanna (Gilbey) Davis/Dodge had at least eight kids between 1889 and 1906 -- Nellie (1889), Joseph Napoleon (1890), Arthur John (1893), William Thomas (1895), Percy Ernest Mitchell (1897), Edwin Frederick (1899), Richard Charles (1902) and Bertram Leonard (1906). Which one of them are you descended from?! I don't know anything about this branch of the family, but would be interested to hear more.
I have a fair bit more information about the Dodge family in Brighton, about the Wordsworth (or Wadsworth) family in Oxfordshire and London (several of Mary's siblings moved to London in the 1830s and 1840s), and about Joseph Napoleon's siblings (Ellen, Alfred John, and Richard) and their families .... but enough for now!
-
If anyone would like to talk about any pieces of this story (see my last post), please send me a private message -- I have far too much information to post everything here. I'd be very happy to hear from anyone who wants to know more, or who can add anything to the story that I've been putting together, but I'd prefer to do it privately. I'd be happy to provide anyone with my regular email address, in a private message. But I'm struggling a bit with the PM function here -- messages seem to disappear for no apparent reason (but perhaps this is just a reflection of me being new to the site!).

i received back a copy of arthur john dodges birth certificate today. he was born 20th march 1893 to joseph napoleon dodge. Arthur john davis who married my grandmothers sister states his birth date as 20th march 1893 on the 1939 census. So i am 100% sure now they are one and the same. So it begs the question why did the dodge family use the name davis too ?
