Probable marriage for daughter Agnes:-
Marriages Dec 1879 (>99%)
Bancroft Joseph Atcham 6a 1245
GEORGE Sarah Margaret Atcham 6a 1245
Perks Agnes Maria Atcham 6a 1245
Wallator William Atcham 6a 1245


Granddaughter Lottie Griffiths:-
Births Dec 1885 (>99%)

The big question now is,
Who was the father of John Frederick Hodson?

We know who his Grandparents were and we know that he was the son of one of the daughters. We can find out which one by buying his birth certificate. Hopefully it will also give his fathers name as I can only find one marriage between a female Perks and a male Hodson, but dates and name doesn't entirely match.

So, next thing to do is buy the certificate and see what it says!!!!!

Other births, same parent's names, same place:-

RICHARD TAYLOR - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 01 MAY 1824 Ruyton Of The Eleven Towns, Shropshire, England

RICHARD TAYLOR - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 22 JAN 1829 Ruyton Of The Eleven Towns, Shropshire, England

JOSEPH TAYLER - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 23 FEB 1817 Ruyton Of The Eleven Towns, Shropshire, England

so possible siblings of Jane.

Could only find one Jane Bevan born between 1821-1825
JANE BEVAN - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 16 MAR 1823 Wroxeter, Shropshire, England

so not correct birth place for wife of Joseph....but I did find this:-

JANE TAYLOR - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 24 JAN 1821 Ruyton Of The Eleven Towns, Shropshire, England
Father: THOMAS TAYLOR
Mother: SARAH

so it looks as though Joseph married Jane Taylor.
What do you think Cass?

Could very well be the birth for Joseph too:-
