Hello Polly. You made me revisit all of my records on Henry Terrell Hodge and family. I haven't looked at this part for years. Yes I agree there is no Father named on his baptism/birth. Also on his marriage. So it looks like I'm so wrong. This is brilliant in a way because I am now able to put my tree right. Now I'm also stuck on Mary Hodge. As for Henry's father has anyone looked at Henry Terrell? There are only a few in Devon. One in 1841 born 1801, married but living very close by to a Thomas Hodge born 1816 a tailor (Lamerton) Did Mary visit her brother? Meet Henry Terrell? I wonder what happened?
Think I'll be looking at these just to abate my curiosity. Brainstorming is definitely the way to go. 🤔😊
Hi Lesley,
It’s good you had a rethink. It is so easy to jump to the wrong conclusions and head off in the wrong direction. I have now received a death PDF for Henry Terrell Hodge. Thought there might be a faint possibility of it having his parents’ details but, unfortunately, no, it doesn’t. I does tell us however that he died at 6 Artisans’ Dwellings, Notte Street, Plymouth, which is the address of his son, the informant, your ancestor H.T. Hodge. It also tells us that he died of bronchitis/asthma. I could forward you a copy of the PDF if you like – let me know.
Have you a copy of the marriage certificate? They sometimes show fathers’ names. If you haven’t a copy, I may order one.
I did look into your suggestion of searching on ‘Henry Terrell’. A good thought, but I couldn’t find any strong leads. I finally ran out of steam. Have you had any success with it?
That's all for now,
Polly
