Mother: Kezia Hodgkiss
Father: Richard Hodgkiss - Besom Maker

Thanks for any help as ever.

Hi suzard.

I have him on 61,71,81,91,01 and 1911.

Each one give the same details of age and plae of birth.

Apologies -I missed the 1841 1851 in your heading!!!!!

I'll blame it on my specs!!!!!

I'll see what I can find

Well -I can't locate him anywhere!!!

Could you give details of 1861 please

Suz

[suzard]

I have located him with wife jane on 71/91/01 - his p.o.b. is not consistent and neither is his age -occupation is though!!!!

How certain are you that mother's name is Keziah???

Did Richard remarry to mary?

If so I have them in 1851 (but not Thomas)

Well it was bishops wood on most of them, hense me thinking it was on all of them. So im guessing it must be the place if thats what he said most.

Thanks so much for looking for me. Like i say ive been looking for the past year for both those census's. But he seems to be travveling around, unaccounted for.

im 100% sure his mom is Kezia, as its on his baptism.

Once again thanks alot. I dont think we will find him.
