To find out if anyone on GR has the lady in a tree, look in 'search trees'

About which aspect of the lady's genealogy are you 'drawing a blank'?

If you are hoping for help, please say what you wish to know, and also give location info

If Elizabeth was John's mother and you're not sure about her maiden name, then I would suggest buying the birth cert. for John.

Where was he born?

Marcia Report 11 Apr 2012 14:52

Does anyone have either of these ladies in their family tree, married to a James Hodgson, with a son John (born in 1859)

Seem to be drawing a blank on this one if anyone can help I would be most grateful.

Thanks

Marcia
