Marriage Elsie M. Forrest & Thomas Hodgkis 1925 Bolton Registry Office or Registrar attended. Elsie's surname is Forrest on Lancashire BMD index. They married either at registry office or at a Non-Conformist or R.C. chapel, not in C. of E.
11 Hodgkis births registered in Farnworth 1926-1945 with mother's maiden name Forester.
Marriage isn't on LANOPC (Lancashire Online Parish Clerks website). There are 2 baptisms at Methodist church in Farnworth which may be of 2 of the children. I'm not naming them in case they are alive. Perhaps marriage was in a Methodist chapel.
Yes these are them! Their child is my late father John born 1932?died 2004. The others must be his older siblings
Thank you 😊
John Hodgkiss birth registered Farnworth sub district 1932 . It's on Lancashire BMD
www.lancashirebmd.org.uk which is where I found registrations of 10 other Hodgkiss births with mother's maiden name Forester. Possibly death of one as an infant in 1943.
Names + dates of birth of John Hodgkiss and some of his siblings should be on 1939 Register but may be redacted (blacked out) as they may have been alive when the Register was released for public viewing a decade ago.
The 2 baptisms at a Methodist chapel from Lancashire Online Parish Clerks don't match the birth registrations of any of John's possible siblings. Parents of those 2 were Thomas and Nelly and they lived in Kearsley.
