Dear Listers

If any of you have any information about the following
family of canal people I would be delighted to hear
from you.

My great, great grandparents were WILLIAM HODGKINS AND
SARAH (nee DOVEY) and their six children who survived
to adulthood, Clara, Riley, Esther, Agnes, Ellen and
Rosina. Four other children died in infancy.


I have William and Sarah on the 1871 Census at
Hazelhurst Lock, Longton with two children Clara and
Riley (although their surname is given as Hopkins).

On the same boat is JOSEPH EASTHORPE (a servant) aged
10 years, born at Dudley. Is this of help to anyone?

There are two more boats on the page I have - one
shows a family called DUNKLEY, the other showing
Edward FISHER (aged 18) born Newcastle, Staffs. George
PHILPOTS (this is very poor and could be Philips or
Philkins or something else beginning with Phil…..)
aged 13 born Oldbury and William GIBSON aged 20 born
Stone.

Hoping these names may be of help to someone.

I have my Hodgkins on the 1881 Census at Fradley
Junction and another boat there with James and John
MOOR (father and son aged 55 and 25 respectively) and
James GRIFFIN (grandson, aged 9)

I would like to find William Hodgkins and Sarah Dovey
on the 1861 Census before they were married and also
on the 1891 and 1901 Censusus.

Other names connected to this family are BRANSON,
FAIRCLOUGH, WARD, KENDERDINE, BROAD, RUSH

If anyone could help I would be very grateful

Sue Jones
