1852 Baptisms: Herbert and William Isaac Hodgkinson were baptized on the same day, 22 Aug 1852 in Hazelwood, Derbyshire, England.[6]    Their father was working as a “victualler” which means he sold food and drink or he was an innkeeper.

Recommendations:

·        Request FHL film # 1041435 to obtain a copy of Herbert and William Isaac Hodgkinson’s, son’s of Lucy Litchfield and Isaac Hodgkinson baptism certificates.[17] I already extracted the information from this films but I neglected to make a copy of the certificate.

·        Request FHL Film #1041436 to obtain a copy of Eliza Ann Hodgkinson, daughter of Lucy Litchfield and Isaac Hodgkinson baptism certificates.[18] I already extracted the information from this films but I neglected to make a copy of the certificate.

·        William Isaac Hodgkinson, son of Lucy, grandson of Godfrey.  Find the marriage record for William Hodgkinson and Mary Ellen Goodwin on Family History film # 1751991 and #1041916 to verify this is not the correct William Hodgkinson.[19]

·        Eliza Ann Hodgkinson, daughter of Lucy, granddaughter of Godfrey.  I found two marriage records for Eliza at findmypast.com.  It appears Eliza married Hezekiah Twigg first in 1887, then she married George White in 1895.  These marriage records can be found on the FHL Film 2080803.[20]  Evidently, I looked at them once but neglected to make a copy of them.

·        Herbert Hodgkinson.  I found a burial record for a Herbert Hodgkinson in Dec. 1932 at the age of 78.[21]  This record needs to be investigated.

·        William Isaac Hodgkinson.  I found several burial possibilities for William. See recommendations section.

·        William Isaac Hodgkinson, I could not find any marriage information for him. I did find a record for a William Hodgkinson married Mary Ellen Goodwin on Oct 12, 1879 in Chapel-En-Le-Frith, Derbyshire, England, whose name was William but the groom’s birth date is too late and his father’s name is William not Isaac so it is most likely not this William.[22]

·        Herbert Hodgkinson, son of Lucy, Grandson of Godfrey.  I found a burial record for a Herbert Hodgkinson dying at age 78 in 1932.[23]  I need to check the census records to see when the record for Herbert ended so I could make an educated guess as to the time of his death.

·        William Isaac Hodgkinson, son of Lucy. I found three possible death records for a William Hodgkinson but no record for a William Isaac Hodgkinson.  The first death record was in the Heage Parish on 28 June 1876 at the age of 24.[24]  This matches the location, name and age of William Hodgkinson.  However, if the marriage record for William and to Mary Ellen Goodwin in 1879 is correct, this death record for 1876 would not be the correct death record.  I need to get a copy of the marriage to discover the name of William’s parents. The second burial for a William Hodgkinson occurred in June 1915 (Belper).[25]  This William was 61 at the time of death putting his birth year at about 1854.  I have a christening record for William for 1852.  It is a possibility. The third possibility is for a William Hodgkinson buried March 1921, age 73 in Belper.[26]  This would put his birth year at about 1848.  This is still in the range of possibilities, his parents were married in 1845 and he was christened in 1854. A search of the census records should determine if William lived past the age of 24 and also help track the two William Hodgkinsons that appeared to be living in the Belper area around the turn of the century.
