Look up for George and Hannah Hodgkins of Coppieholt Stoke Pound

[lidybut]

I'm back after a long time away due to my illness  After finding a Death penny while clearing my brother house. I'm thinking that this may have been a relative of mine. The name on it was A HODGKINS  Born in DUDLEY and died 19 Oct 1918  and his parents are George and Hannah HODGKINGS  from  Coppieholt  Stoke Pound Bromsgrove. This is all that I know of the parents names sorry. A HODGKINS was killed  and is buried British Cemetery Kalamarie Greese. .When I was very little I remembered  a name Hudson I'm wondering if it was HODGKINGS Lol ..Any help would be most helpful and Appreciated .  Lidybut x

The only George and Hannah Hodgkins I can see in the Censuses are living in Dudley. George is a Glass Cutter born Gornal c1864 and in 1901 he and wife Hannah have several children including Albert born 1897. By 1911 Hannah is a Widow and is still in Dudley with son Albert Edward.

There is a baptism for an Albert Edward Hodgkins  Sep 1897 Dudley 6c 102 mmn Turner.

Whether or not this is the correct family, I have no idea. I cannot find a Stoke Pound, Bromsgrove in the Censuses.

Here is Stoke Pound, in a curve of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal and ESE of Stoke Heath.
https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/396222/267834/12/101160

It is between some canal locks, the stretch between locks is called a pound and there is a large house called Stoke Coourt just N of it, so it would appear that that would be the reason for calling it Stoke  Pound.
If you can find the census entries for Stoke Court you may well find the others for the village walk around there.
If you look at the 1969/73 map and follow the road, called Copyholt Lane on modern maps, towards the ESE you will finnd a Copyholt Farm switch to an earlier map, say 1903, and you will  the buildings there but un-named. There are tree symbols there as well which might indicate an orchard but could mean there is a coppice there.
Coppieholt could come from Coppice/Copse sometimes pronounced without the sibilant sound,
