Surrey / Hodges Family Croydon
« on: Saturday 27 October 12 12:33 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am trying to trace a branch of my maternal family tree for the Hodges Family who lived in and around Croydon. The family I am researching is that of James Hodges (1861) and Charlotte Roseanna Marchant his wife.
They had 4 children Annie (1885-1917), William Charles (1887), Henry James (1890), Frederick (1894).
My direct line comes from Annie, she had 3 children all of whom were put into care at a young age. I have care home reports on the children that state that all of the Uncles were serving in the British Army, but can find no trace whatsoever of Annie's brothers.
As Annie died very young and her children were already in care, the family was very fragmented and the children lost touch with their maternal family.
I would love to be able to find any information about what happened to Annie's brothers but have so far hit a brick wall.
I am planning a trip to Croydon Records Office next week but would like to have something to look for!
Anyone have any ideas on finding these difficult brothers please!
Many Thanks
Kate
