Shadylady,
Yes, I am Fiona.
Thomas Henry Hodge was grandson of Thomas. I had never ascertained which of Thomas' children was his parent (illegitimate children often lived with grandparents, particularly before their mothers married, obviously). If he was son of Thomas, then his mother would've been Mary Martha Leatherbarrow.
The succession of the farm was as follows:
Thomas Hodge (married Ellen Marshall) established the farm in the 1840s. When he died in 1870, he passed it to his son, Thomas (1830) (married Jane Marshall). I assume Thomas inherited over his elder brothers because they were established in other professions in other areas.
This Thomas outlived his eldest son, John, and so passed the farm to his 2nd son, Thomas (1866)(married Mary Martha Leatherbarrow), at his death in 1912.
At his death (unsure of date) it was inherited by his son, James (1890), who held the farm until it was sold in 1927 I think.
It would be during Thomas Hodge & Jane Marshall's time that my great grandfather spent shrove Tuesdays at the farm.
I would like some certified information on Thomas Henry, as he is currently awaiting attachment to the tree because I was never able to determine who was his parent.
I would also love to know the exact location of the farm on Heathy Lane.
Prior to leasing the Heathy Lane farm, Thomas (known as Gred Tom) lived & worked on his uncle William Hodge's farm in what is now Birkdale Village, on the corner of Alma Rd & Liverpool Rd. He had likely been taking in by his uncle since his mother's death in 1803, and was certainly on the farm by 1810, when he was pressganged while out at market in Liverpool (escaping after a night in custody).
Tom was born in 1794 to John Hodge & Mary Wright, his father being drowned on a fishing trip within months of Tom's birth. Tom's uncle, William Hodge, did rather well for himself, holding a fishing stall in Birkdale and then leasing the farm adjoining the Birkdale Mill in 1807. William only briefly lived in Birkdale himself (one child born there in 1795), spending most of his life in South Haws (as did his children), he just leased the land and Tom ran the farm for him. William and his sons leased various lands and properties in South Haws and they worked primarily as fishermen.
There is a great deal of confusion from the baptism records regarding William and his wife, Betty. There is no marriage listed for them in North Meols, but they start having children in 1778, and are certainly still breeding in 1795 (the first & only child born in Birkdale). In 1796, another couple of the names marry: William Hodge & Betty Andow, and it is generally thought that all children born to William & Betty after this date (in South Haws) belowng to this 2nd couple, including Richard in 1797.
Richard was the father of Charles Hodge, Coxwain of the Eliza Fernley lifeboat.
However, on the lease of 1807 for the birkdale farm, 3 sons are listed, the youngest being Richard who matches closely in age to the one in the records of 1797. Additonally, in red pencil on the lease is the comment that the lease expired on 12th Nov 1869 on the death of Richard, which is the death date of Charles' father.
Now we have proven that one of the children born after the 2nd couple's marriage belonged to the first, we cannot be sure that others didn't either... or even that at least one of the parents were one & the same person. We have various options:
1. William and Betty lived together from 1778, but did not actually marry until 1796. Main problem being that this means a very long period of childbearing for one women.
2. Most, if not all, of the children after Richard WERE to a different couple.
3. Betty #1 died and William remarried another Betty, with whom he had more children.
Sadly, the faulty information about Richard Hodge is now in print (not least through Rev Bulpit), and can never entirely be erased. So general theory placed Charles Hodge in the wrong branch of the Hodge family.
So, Shadylady, your line is:
Thomas Henry, 1895, Halsall
Thomas? 1866, Halsall
Thomas 1830, Birkdale
Thomas, 1794, North Meols
John, 1762, North Meols
William (known as Henry) 1720, North Meols
William 1698, North Meols
Thomas 1668, North Meols
William 1640, Roe Lane, Churchtown
Thomas c1608, Roe Lane, Churchtown
William c1580
