Hodges Genealogy |
My husband descends from George Hodges
who married Mary Ann Keens and down through their son Henry. The parentage of Henry's father George was a challenge to solve, the only clue was that George was in Australia in the 1820's. In 1828 he was found in the Male Orphan School at Cabramatta eventually been claimed in 1830 by his mother Hannah Hodges and her common law husband, Henry Warren. Hannah had arrived as a convict in 1827 on the Grenada with two male children, George being one the other was William. |

Thanks so much to Margaret
Hall who descends from William Hodges/Warren. Margaret gave me the lead on George Hodges and without her generosity in sharing I doubt I would have discovered him, the final link to the puzzle. Margaret you're the best! Also to my friend Sheila Evans from England. Sheila made the trip to Essex Record Office and searched for information on the Hodges family. Sheila was able to put the family together for me. Thank you so much! |
