ARC ....Benjamin Hodgetts m Sarah Read/Sarah Hill?

[Waltzer7]

On BCC we have

1841 Overend, Halesowen
Benjn Hodgetts 45 - Nailer
Sarah Hodgetts 45
William Hodgetts 20 - Nailer
Mary Ann Hodgetts 17
Caroline Hodgetts 13
Edward Hodgetts 12
Henry Hodgetts 10
Matilda Hodgetts 8
Ellen Hodgetts 6
all b in c

plus Sarah Hodgetts baptised 02 Apr 1820 Cradley


IGI also has an Ann Hodgetts baptised 2 Apr 1820 Cradley, died 24 Dec 1820


Then there is the marriage
Name: Benjamin Hodgetts
Spouse: Sarah Read
Marriage: 31 Dec 1820 - Birmingham, St Martin, Warwickshire

I can't see that Sarah Read is likely to have been the mother of Sarah and Ann bpt 2 April 1820. So I wonder if they were the daughters of Sarah Hill? Married 16th April 1815 at Clent, Worcestershire.

Hard to be sure though.

I think its an error re the Birmingham bit as there's a St. Martins, Worcestershire, which seems more likely plus the latter has appeared a few times in our family tree but not sure exactly whereabouts in Worcestershire is St. Martins?

The information you need is all on this link Waltzer:-

I would forget about Sarah Read, do not think there is any connection.

I agree Linell I think it is Sarah Hill that marries Benjamin Hodgetts

but again Waltzer that is only what we deduce....up to you what you put in your own tree

Flagging to archive this or I can move it to brickwalls for you if you are still needing help with it.

You can flag this thread, although I have more enquiries linking to Sarah Hill's parents, which I will add to a new thread.

Many thanks for correcting me on which Sarah.
